Gemini to Expand Crypto Prediction Markets Through Apex Brokerages
Gemini and Apex Partner to Offer Crypto Prediction Markets via Brokerages
Crypto exchange Gemini has signed a non-binding letter of intent with Apex Fintech Solutions. The agreement aims to make Gemini Titan the exclusive regulated platform for crypto event contracts offered through brokerage firms using Apex’s Futures Commission Merchant (FCM).
If finalized, the deal would allow participating brokerages to use Gemini for executing and clearing trades. This would give Gemini access to a new distribution channel for its prediction market business, which lets users bet on real-world events using crypto.
What the Agreement Means
- Gemini Titan would become the only regulated venue for crypto event contracts distributed through Apex’s FCM.
- Apex provides trading and clearing services to hundreds of financial firms serving millions of investors.
- Gemini already works with Apex Clearing for its zero-commission U.S. stock trading service launched in July.
- Gemini received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in December 2025 to operate a designated contract market and in April to clear derivatives in-house.
Prediction Markets Face Legal Challenges
The partnership comes as prediction markets encounter increasing legal pressure in the U.S. Recently, a Washington state judge ordered Kalshi, another prediction market platform, to stop offering certain event contracts in the state. The judge rejected Kalshi’s argument that federal commodities law overrides state gambling laws.
What Is Confirmed
- Gemini and Apex Fintech Solutions have signed a non-binding letter of intent.
