Life is like a guitar. @ericchurch offers a brillianct commencement address (and guitar lesson) at his alma mater, UNC, that belongs in the pantheon of addresses of this sort with those of Steve Jobs (Stanford) and David Foster Wallace (Kenyon College).

Proud of what the team @Gemini continues to build. Q1 focused on growth, regulatory progress, and continued execution. A lot of work went into getting here, and we will continue building toward what’s ahead 🚀

Great conversation with @JohannKerbrat, Jody Mettler, and Nolan Bauerle on Bitcoin, regulation, infrastructure, and institutional adoption at @TheBitcoinConf last week. After 8+ years in crypto and at @Gemini, it's been rewarding watching the conversation evolve from "will this survive?" to "how does this become core financial infrastructure?" Still early & we're building it in real time!!

Arch Public & @Gemini continue to expand our capabilities and security, as @Gemini has received a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) license from the @CFTC Special thanks to @cameron, @tyler, and @Pagetgrace for all the work we’ve accomplished together over the years‼️

We are excited to announce that @Gemini has received a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) license from the @CFTC. This license allows us to act as a clearinghouse for regulated derivatives trading, including prediction markets. This approval follows our approval last December for a Designated Contract Market (DCM) license, which allowed us to launch Gemini Predictions. Now, with our DCO, the predictions that trade on our DCM will soon clear through our DCO. This marks a major milestone in our marketplace expansion. In addition to our crypto spot marketplace, Gemini now has a full-stack, end-to-end marketplace for predictions as well as futures, options, and more. This is also a major building block for our super app, where users will be able to fulfill their existing and future financial needs all in one place. Onward!

Great turnout at #BTCVegas# this year!! The energy at @BTCconference was 🔥, and the @Gemini team definitely took over the Deep 🐋 Always great reconnecting with OG colleagues like @MariaPesce_ and catching up with amazing clients like @DeatonforSenate. Feels like a positive signal for what’s ahead 🚀

The @evewealthhq Summit is one of those rare events that doesn’t feel transactional. Real conversations. Innovative thinking. Zero posturing. Spoke on “Prediction Is Becoming a Market” with Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Kari Larsen & Tallulah Stobart. Proud to have @Gemini as a lead sponsor!

In Vegas next week speaking at @TheBitcoinConf on how Bitcoin is going from being an alternative system → actual financial infrastructure! Building the Next Financial System on Bitcoin April 28 | 1:30 PM | Nakamoto Stage Great group on stage @Gemini joining Johann Kerbrat, Jody Mettler, and Nolan Bauerle. If you’re around, stop by 👋

We're moving @Gemini ActiveTrader real-time market data processing off the main thread and into a dedicated web worker. The worker handles WebSocket message parsing and orderbook state management so that the UI thread can stay responsive even under heavy market activity. Check out these test results: -Before (main thread): ~30-40fps at 50x volume but starts deteriorating -After (web worker): ~100fps at 50x volume -Bonus: we still hit ~100fps at 500x, since the worker does the heavy lifting and sends orderbook snapshots every 50ms Overall, we've achieved a 2.5x performance improvement. In addition to the worker, we optimized the rendering pipeline by eliminating unnecessary memoization overhead, using static selectors on hot paths, and throttling visual-only components that render thrash (e.g., depth chart). Outcome: when BTC is going parabolic, you will have a UI that keeps up.

Spoke at @PennBlockchain Conference last week on institutional adoption & what it actually takes to bring capital on-chain. Fun convo with a great group... and shoutout to @Gemini for sponsoring the hackathon 🙌 🚀

We just released new order modification functionality. Drag order lines on charts to modify price and click order line pills to modify quantity. Markets move fast and you can too with @Gemini Active Trader. Check it out and let us know your thoughts. Volume up! 🔊🎶

Great to highlight our strategic relationship @Gemini 🤝 @tryarchpublic Together we’ve enabled investors to deploy sophisticated strategies and build long term crypto exposure across $BTC, $ETH, $XRP, and $SOL
