Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange, has appointed Dan Chen as its new chief financial officer, as announced on Mar. 17, via X.

Chen, who previously held roles at Affirm, MetLife Investments, and Morgan Stanley, will support Gemini’s financial strategy as the company enters its next growth phase.

His appointment comes amid reports that Gemini is considering an IPO later this year.

Meanwhile, Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss recently attended a crypto summit hosted by President Trump at the White House. Cameron Winklevoss expressed optimism about regulatory changes, citing past challenges under the Biden administration.

The CFO announcement and potential IPO come as Gemini navigates a shifting regulatory landscape.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently ended its investigation into Gemini without enforcement actions, and the firm settled a US$5 million case with the CFTC over misleading statements.
