Three Senior Executives Depart Gemini Following IPO in Major Leadership Restructuring
Cryptocurrency exchange undergoes major C-suite changes as its chief financial officer, chief operating officer, and chief legal officer exit, with Cameron Winkelvoss assuming expanded duties.
Gemini Space Station, which serves as the parent entity of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, announced that three members of its executive leadership team would be departing with immediate effect, while co-founder Cameron Winklevoss will be taking on expanded operational duties.
According to a filing submitted on Tuesday to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Gemini disclosed it would be terminating its relationship with chief operating officer Marshall Beard, chief financial officer Dan Chen, and chief legal officer Tyler Meade.
According to the company's statement, there are no plans to fill the position vacated by Beard, who simultaneously stepped down from his seat on Gemini's board of directors. Cameron Winklevoss will assume responsibilities related to revenue generation. Meanwhile, Danijela Stojanovic, who previously held the position of chief accounting officer at Gemini, has been named to serve as interim CFO.
This executive restructuring occurred approximately five months following Gemini's public market debut on the Nasdaq exchange, where the company successfully raised $425 million during its September initial public offering. As of the time this article was published, Gemini Space Station's stock price stood at $6.54 per share, representing a decline of over 13% even as broader US equity markets experienced positive momentum.
"We expect to enter into a separation agreement with each of these individuals with potential eligibility to provide additional transition services for a limited period of time in exchange for continued base salary and employee benefits for the duration of such period,"

Earlier in January, the SEC made the decision to dismiss a civil lawsuit that had been brought against Gemini Trust Company in 2023 concerning allegations of unregistered securities offerings. This dismissal represented the most recent action taken by the financial regulatory body, which has adopted a less aggressive stance toward enforcement actions against cryptocurrency firms during President Donald Trump's administration.
Gemini exits UK, EU, and Australia
This major reorganization of the company's executive team occurred merely weeks following Gemini's announcement that it would concentrate the majority of its operational resources on expanding its presence in the United States market and advancing its prediction market platform. At that time, Gemini revealed plans to reduce its workforce by 25% while simultaneously withdrawing operations from the United Kingdom, European Union, and Australia markets.
Within Tuesday's regulatory filing, the company provided preliminary figures for its year-end 2025 financial performance, revealing that net revenue is projected to fall within the range of $165 million to $175 million when compared to $141 million for the fiscal year that concluded on Dec. 31, 2024. This revenue increase can be primarily attributed to enhanced services revenue, which was propelled by substantial growth in credit card revenue.
