My turn for an MBC recap!!! @MBC_Conference perfectly embodies why I love my job and @Gemini internship program so much. It is so inspiring to see so many talented students who are passionate about making an impact in Web3. SWE intern apps are live and my DMs are open🚀

We are so back!! @Gemini's first ever Co-op Internship Program is now open.🚀 Join us in our mission of building the next generation of Web3 talent. Link to to apply below👇

Milestone: @Gemini IPO ✅ I had the incredibly rare opportunity to join the podium for the opening bell at Nasdaq today! For many of us, this marks a significant end of one chapter and the start of an incredible next chapter in our mission.

One of many outcomes of the @Gemini 2025 Internship Program: @RuohanDeQuant got buy in within the org (e.g. @erickuhn19), did the tech work, and now it's live. One of the best parts about working at Gemini: you get to drive and have high impact if you want it.

Years in the making, excited we were able to get this to the finish line! The best design discussions with @imnotanoob1 was in our Ubers and walks to ETHDenver 2025 😂

Incredibly proud to bring @Gemini users onchain today with the launch of the Gemini Wallet and Onchain App! Yesterday we announced deposit and withdrawal support for ETH and USDC on both @arbitrum and @Optimism with more networks coming soon. A huge milestone to make the life of our customers easier by adding new rails for assets they want to bring onchain. We are eliminating the barrier of bridging assets when using Gemini. Deposit USDC or ETH and you just hold the asset. Withdrawal on any network you want and we will take care of the rest. Today we are enabling our users to access the world of web3 with an easy and secure Wallet experience via passkeys. It takes 10 seconds to create a wallet with a secure passkey, claim a human readable wallet name via @ensdomains and start exploring onchain ecosystems like @ethereum @arbitrum @Optimism @0xPolygon and @base . While you are exploring, gas is on us with the help of our network partners. It’s essential we keep our users protected so we partnered with @blockaid_ to evaluate every transaction. Permissionless finance is amazing but this means we need to navigate bad actors. Every time you attempt a transaction Blockaid will review and if there is something suspicious, we will let you know. Security is always our top priority. We also partnered with @trailofbits to audit our code and smart contracts. We will be open sourcing and releasing the report very soon. It was also essential to launch our own Onchain App experience to be the first place Gemini users go. onchain.gemini.com has a curated experience of onchain actions. We started with swap and invest, but plan on bringing many more integrations in the near future. Swap into tokens Gemini doesn’t support via our integration with @BungeeExchange . It doesn’t matter what chain you hold the asset on or what chain you want to swap to, the network of solvers will handle all of the complexity for you. We also integrated @MorphoLabs Vaults that are being managed by @gauntlet_xyz on Arbitrum. Lend/Borrow is an absolutely critical function of finance and now you can easily participate in earning rewards on your stablecoins by investing in onchain vaults. Lastly, it’s been an incredible journey to spearhead these projects at @Gemini. Thank you @cameron and @tyler for giving me this opportunity. However, this is just the beginning. The world is coming onchain and Gemini is here to help our customers navigate this new journey easily and securely. Onwards

Moving ETH & USDC just got faster and cheaper Gemini now supports deposits and withdrawals on Optimism and Arbitrum ⚡

Tokenized stocks have arrived. Our customers in the EU can now buy tokenized Strategy (MSTR) on Gemini and take it anywhere onchain. 🇪🇺 We are starting with MSTR and will be rolling out more tokenized stocks and ETFs in the coming days.

We're still full steam ahead! Join @erickuhn19 and the rest of us as we get many more customers onchain.

A special thanks to Brian KimJohnson for trusting me to build, and helping me alongside with Aris Agdere, Matthew Fors, Vikram Baid, Victor Reventos, & Bradley Stachurski!

Today, Earn users received $2.18 billion of their digital assets in kind. These initial distributions represent: • 97% of digital assets owed to Earn users • $1 billion more than when Genesis halted withdrawals • A 232% recovery from when Genesis halted withdrawals This represents an unprecedented recovery among crypto bankruptcies, as well as bankruptcies in general, and follows our previous announcement that we reached a settlement in principle with Genesis and other creditors in the Genesis Bankruptcy, which will result in all Earn users receiving 100% of their digital assets back in kind. This means, for example, that if you had lent one bitcoin in the Earn program, you will receive one bitcoin back. And it means that you will receive any and all appreciation of your assets since you lent them into the Earn program. In order to ensure this successful resolution, Gemini has also contributed $50 million to the Earn users’ recovery. We recognize the hardship caused by this lengthy process and appreciate your continued support and patience throughout. Finally, it’s important to note that the Genesis bankruptcy was not a crypto problem. It was old-fashioned financial fraud compounded by a lack of regulatory clarity. To that end, we will continue to fight for clear rules and guidance for our industry that foster both innovation and consumer protection. And we will win this fight. The future is bright.
