Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange owned by Google, released its third-quarter financial results, showing a 73% decline in trading volume compared to the previous quarter and quarterly revenue of just $41 million, reflecting the dual pressures of weak market demand and intensifying competition.
The company’s stock rose more than 6% in after-hours trading on November 12 (Eastern Time), but is still down about 75% since the beginning of the year. This decline in performance aligns with Gemini’s strategic adjustments this year—the exchange has sold its UK and European operations and continues to optimize its cost structure. The sharp contraction in trading volume indicates that crypto exchanges are facing challenges posed by intensifying competition for liquidity and declining user engagement.
