Согласно сообщениям ChainCatcher и CoinDesk, криптоплатформа Gemini, основанная близнецами Уинклевос, объявила о подписании намерений с Apex Fintech Solutions, планируя распределять регулируемые контракты на криптовалютные прогнозы через фьючерсного комиссионного агента (FCM) Apex для брокерских клиентов. В соответствии с соглашением, дочерняя компания Gemini Titan станет эксклюзивной регулируемой торговой площадкой для распределения контрактов на криптовалютные события через Apex FCM, при этом Gemini будет отвечать за исполнение и клиринг, позволяя брокерам, использующим Apex, предлагать соответствующие продукты без необходимости создавать собственное соединение с биржей прогнозов.Это сотрудничество основано на продвижении Gemini в области регулируемых прогнозных рынков. Gemini Titan получила лицензию на рынок назначенных контрактов от CFTC в декабре 2025 года, а Gemini Olympus получила лицензию на клиринговую организацию производных финансовых инструментов в апреле 2025 года.
