NEW YORK, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Gemini announced the launch of stock trading with 0% commissions for customers in the United States [1]. The launch marks another major milestone in Gemini's march to become an all-in-one financial super app. Gemini customers in qualifying jurisdictions can now trade thousands of U.S. exchange-listed securities directly from the Gemini app.
As part of the launch, Nasdaq will serve as an official provider for real-time market data, and Apex Clearing Corporation ("Apex"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex Fintech Solutions Inc., will act as the custodian and clearing broker.
"We have over a decade of experience in building financial platforms. We started with crypto and are expanding to stocks so that customers can manage their entire financial lives right from the Gemini app," said Cameron Winklevoss, Co-Founder and President of Gemini. "This is what building a true financial super app looks like, and we're just getting started."
This launch builds on significant regulatory and infrastructure milestones. In April, Gemini secured a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) license from the CFTC, providing eventual in-house control over clearing and settlement for its derivatives products. Combined with its existing Designated Contract Market (DCM) license, today's announcement represents another critical step on Gemini's path to operating a full-stack regulated marketplace spanning crypto spot, prediction markets, and derivatives.
"Crypto was just the beginning. Our goal is to bring many financial products, from crypto to equities to derivatives, under one regulated platform," said Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini's Co-Founder and CEO.
Gemini previously received approval from FINRA to operate a broker-dealer in 2022 and has now updated this registration to operate as an introducing broker, allowing Gemini to introduce customers to transactions in all NMS securities for execution and clearance by its clearing broker, Apex.
