Yet the company still posted a deep net loss in its second quarter.
Investors were generally unwilling to explore the stars with Gemini Space Station (NASDAQ: GEMI) stock. The crypto trading platform operator reported second-quarter results that came in well short of analyst estimates. That sell-off reduced Gemini's share price by almost 9%.
Gemini's total revenue for the period was $45.5 million, representing a sturdy 37% year-over-year improvement.

These contributed $23.5 million to the top line, and were 149% higher.

Although the company's net loss narrowed, it was still considerable. It landed just below $108 million, or $0.89 per share, compared with the second-quarter 2025 deficit of $133 million. One cost item affecting the bottom line was a more-than-$16 million credit card fraud provision.

Given the swoon in crypto trading, that's a very sensible strategy.
