What Is Gemini Titan? CFTC Approval Unlocks US Prediction Markets For Gemini

[Ben Graham]

Gemini has received regulatory clearance to launch prediction markets in the US. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) granted a Designated Contract Market (DCM) license to Gemini Titan – a subsidiary of Gemini Space Station. What does this mean for US customers? It allows US customers to trade event contracts, simple yes/no bets on future outcomes, directly on Gemini’s web platform using USD balances. 

Gemini now joins the likes of Kalshi and Polymarket.

On 10 December 2025, Gemini’s CEO Tyler Winklevoss said, “Today’s approval marks the culmination of a 5-year licensing process and the beginning of a new chapter for Gemini.”

“We thank President Trump for ending the Biden Administration’s War on Crypto and Acting Chairman Pham for her hard work and dedication to help realise President Trump’s vision for making America the crypto capital of the world. It’s incredibly refreshing and invigorating to have a President and a financial regulator who are pro crypto, pro innovation, and pro America,” Winklevoss added

Meanwhile, Gemini’s stock surged nearly 14% to $12.92 in after-hours trading following the announcement.

Gemini’s Entry Intensifies Competition In Prediction Market Sector

Notably, 80% of Myriad Markets users see prediction markets as crypto’s top growth area.

Gemini’s entry intensifies competition in a sector already heating up under the Trump administration’s pro-crypto stance. Gemini explained that prediction markets harness crowd wisdom to forecast real-world events more accurately than polls or experts. Gemini’s event contracts will cover crypto-specific questions. If BTC ends 2025 above $100k or if Elon Musk’s X faces a $140 million EU penalty by 2026.

“Prediction markets have the potential to be as big or bigger than traditional capital markets. Acting Chairman Pham understands this vision and its importance,” said Cameron Winklevoss, Gemini’s President. “Unlike her predecessor, Acting Chairman Pham has positioned the CFTC as a pro business, pro innovation regulator that will allow America to lead in these new and exciting markets.”
