The GEMI stock has begun trading on the Nasdaq following Gemini’s successful IPO. The stock rose above $40 following its listing, recording a double-digit gain in the process.
GEMI Stock Rises Following Gemini IPO
Yahoo Finance data shows that the Gemini stock surged above $40 at the start of trading on the Nasdaq. The stock is still up over 20%, currently trading at around $34 at press time.
The GEMI stock gains represent a significant increase from the IPO price of $28 per share. As CoinGape reported, the Gemini IPO was 20 times oversubscribed, which led the crypto exchange to raise the share price to $28 just ahead of the Nasdaq listing.
Thanks to this, the Winklevoss-backed exchange ended up raising $425 million from an earlier target of around $300 million. This development marks another successful crypto IPO following earlier IPOs by stablecoin issuer Circle and crypto exchange Bullish. Both IPOs were also oversubscribed.
Just like the GEMI stock, the CRCL and BLSH stocks surged following their respective listings. The CRCL stock notably surged to almost $300 from an IPO price of $31 in the weeks following its listing.
With the Gemini IPO done and dusted, attention will now turn to Grayscale and BitGo IPOs, which are the other crypto firms that have declared their intention to go public. Both firms have yet to reveal further details about their respective IPOs besides the draft registration statement with the SEC.
