Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has lined up Nasdaq as a strategic investor as it prepares to go public in New York this week, Reuters reported on Sept. 9, citing people briefed on the matter.

According to the report, the share sale could raise up to $317 million, with Nasdaq expected to buy about $50 million of stock in a private placement at the time of the offering.

Gemini plans to trade under the ticker symbol “GEMI.”

The arrangement is more than financial and Nasdaq’s stake will be paired with a partnership giving its institutional clients access to Gemini’s custody and staking products. In return, Gemini customers will be able to use Nasdaq’s Calypso platform to track and manage collateral.

Neither Nasdaq nor Gemini commented on the details. Reuters noted that the exchange’s plans could still shift depending on market conditions.

Riding a rebound in listings

The offering comes as U.S. equity markets show renewed demand for new deals, with tech and crypto-related companies drawing strong investor interest. A successful debut would make Gemini the third publicly traded exchange after Coinbase and Bullish.

Gemini currently holds about $21 billion in client assets and has processed more than $285 billion in trading volume. Its business spans retail and institutional services, an over-the-counter desk, a credit card and trading in major tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum and stablecoins.

Financially, the company reported a net loss of $282.5 million on $68.6 million in revenue for the first half of 2025, widening from a $41.4 million loss a year earlier.

The Winklevoss twins, who first rose to prominence through their legal battle with Facebook, invested heavily in Bitcoin in the early 2010s and became known as the “Bitcoin twins.” Their bid to take Gemini public is testament to how deeply digital assets are now tied to Wall Street.

Dogecoin is back in the spotlight after a key technical move against Bitcoin hinted at renewed strength. The DOGE/BTC pair reclaimed ground following a liquidity sweep that shook out weak hands earlier this year. Analysts now believe this recovery could set the stage for a major rally.

Analysts See Big Upside For DOGE

According to analysts, Dogecoin has broken above a former sell-side liquidity zone on the weekly chart. This level, between 140 and 160 sats, had acted as a critical support for months.

By July 2025, the pair fell below that zone in what they called a “liquidity hunt,” an event where prices dip to trigger stop orders before reversing upward.

According to Trader Tardigrade, the rebound is fueling optimism that DOGE might target higher levels soon. Tardigrade’s chart marks a potential climb toward 0.00000516 BTC, or about 516 sats.

Based on current Bitcoin prices, that would translate to roughly $0.576, more than 300% above the liquidity sweep lows. Intermediate checkpoints sit at 280 sats ($0.31) and 360 sats ($0.40) before any run at that top target.

Altcoin Season Back In The Conversation

This outlook comes as talk of an altcoin season gains momentum. Historically, such periods see altcoins outperform Bitcoin after the leading cryptocurrency consolidates.

Tardigrade suggested that Dogecoin’s move could align with this pattern, potentially acting as a trigger for wider market activity.

DOGE’s recent rebound is significant because the coin had been under pressure for weeks. The current price stands near $0.21, down 4.41% in the past day and 7% for the month. Despite those short-term losses, technical analysts argue that structure matters more than daily fluctuations.

Other Experts Weigh In

Ali Martinez offered a different view for the short term. He pointed to a symmetrical triangle forming on the 4-hour chart and expects one more pullback toward $0.22 before a breakout. If the pattern holds, his targets include $0.26, $0.28, and $0.31 in the near term.

Other experts see a longer horizon, comparing the current setup to past Dogecoin cycles in 2014, 2017, and 2021. Each major rally followed a similar accumulation phase. They believe the token could rise more than 3x from current levels, even surpassing the $0.7396 all-time high.

The market now watches for confirmation. If the breakout signals strengthen and altcoin season returns, Dogecoin could once again become one of the market’s biggest movers. Whether that happens in one surge or through stages, analysts agree that this meme coin’s story isn’t over yet.

XRP is showing all the signs of a move brewing, and the chart doesn’t lie. After a period of consolidation, price action is tightening, and technical indicators are flashing signals of an impending move. Whether it’s a surge to the upside or a sharp reversal, the setup is in place, and momentum is building. XRP looks loaded and ready to make its next move.

Volume Remains Subdued — Calm Before The Storm?

XRP price remains trapped inside a long-standing triangle, a pattern known for building pressure before sharp directional moves. The chart shows that sellers continue to push lower highs, compressing price action toward a support level.

Parshwa Turakhiya pointed out on X that the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) cluster between $2.17 and $2.23 is the key breakout zone capping any upward momentum. A clean break above this range could trigger a bullish reversal. On the other hand, $2.09 is the last line of defense for the bulls. If this level fails, the structure breaks down, and XRP could swiftly drop to $1.85.

Despite the building tension, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral, which Parshwa Turakhiya describes as “the calm before the volatility storm.” The chart structure suggests that a move is imminent. With early July just ahead, Parshwa Turakhiya warns that a breakout or breakdown is coming, and it won’t be subtle. XRP is on the edge of eruption.

Fabio Zuccara stated that Dr. Profit, known for his sharp and historically accurate calls on XRP at $0.15, $0.38, and $0.50, has now projected a new mid-term target of $4.00. In a weekly chart shared via social media, XRP is forming a bullish structure, with a green arrow projecting a continuation move to the upside.

Zuccara outlined a crucial level for maintaining the bullish trajectory. This rebound adds strength to the outlook, suggesting that momentum is building in favor of the bulls.

In the same vein, SquirtleCharts revealed that XRP’s 4-hour chart has mapped out a precise path toward $3.00 target, with several resistance levels standing in the way, and each level varies in difficulty. The first is $2.22, the easy one, a weak resistance point that XRP could clear without much effort.

Next is $2.33, which SquirtleCharts labels as “a lot harder,” signaling a barrier that may require volume and conviction to break. The $2.48 level is “not too bad,” a moderate resistance area that might slow the rally but not be a roadblock. Finally, the $2.65 is the “pretty hard,” a zone where bulls may face challenges.

Perfect Technical Structure Sets Stage For Explosive Breakout

Massive move incoming for XRP. After a clean bounce off the $2.00 support level, the setup is aligning perfectly on the daily chart.
