Gemini Space Station Inc. approved a plan to exit the UK, the EU, and Australia and cut up to 200 jobs, equal to about 25% of global headcount, according to an official statement on Feb. 5, 2026.

According to a recent SEC filing, Gemini informed regulators that it expects the wind-down plan to be completed in 1H 2026 and to book about $11,000,000 in pre-tax restructuring and related charges, with “substantially all” recognized in Q1 2026.

The same filing states that Gemini will continue operating in the US and Singapore while exiting other jurisdictions, including the UK, the EU, and Australia.

How Gemini Plans to Close UK, EU, and Australian Accounts

Gemini’s customer-facing support notice set the operational timetable. UK/EEA/AU accounts will transition to withdrawal-only mode on March 5, 2026, and Gemini will close accounts on April 6, 2026.

Gemini’s notice also instructs customers to close any open perpetual positions before March 5, 2026. It warns Gemini may force-close positions at the “prevailing market price” once accounts enter withdrawal-only mode.

The execution risk sits in offboarding friction. Gemini’s notice flags a 7-day approval cycle for new withdrawal addresses for some users. It cites Travel Rule-style self-hosted wallet attestations for EU customers as a gating item before March 5.

What Gemini’s Staff Cut Means for the Industry

The SEC filing pins a dated cost and completion schedule to Gemini’s retrenchment. This matters for desks because it changes venue access, collateral mobility, and basis execution in UK/EU/AU time zones between March 5 and April 6, 2026.

As of Feb. 5, shortly after the announcement, Gemini Space Station Inc. shares (GEMI) saw a drop of 7%.

$683M to Nscale for 60,000 GPUs by 2026

The post $683M to Nscale for 60,000 GPUs by 2026 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nvidia will invest $683 million in Nscale, the spin-off of Arkon Energy spun off in May 2024 to offer AI cloud services in Europe, with the goal of bringing up to 60,000 GPUs to the United Kingdom. The capital injection, in line with the push towards advanced AI infrastructure, is part of a joint effort to strengthen strategic computing capabilities in the region; the rollout is planned in stages between 2025 and 2026. The operation also coincides with the UK government’s plan to accelerate AI adoption and security, outlined by the government on January 13, 2025. According to data collected by industry analysts, updated as of September 17, 2025, projects that convert mining sites into AI nodes can reduce the time-to-market compared to new facilities by about 30–50%. Our field market analyses indicate typical improvements in PUE in the range of 10–20% after energy optimization interventions and the introduction of liquid cooling. Operators we have monitored also report that long-term energy contracts and proximity to major interconnection nodes are determining factors for the economic sustainability of the clusters. The Agreement in Brief: Figures, Goals, Timeline Investment: $683 million allocated to Nscale. Target capacity: up to 60,000 GPUs deployed in data centers in the United Kingdom. Timeline: phased rollout activity scheduled between 2025 and 2026. Origin Nscale: spin-off from Arkon Energy, created in May 2024 to enter the European market for AI cloud services. From miner to cloud AI: the Nscale spinoff Nscale is born from the conversion of mining assets into nodes for AI workloads, transforming facilities designed for energy-intensive and single-use operations into platforms with high computational value and greater flexibility. The strategy — based on the reuse of existing sites and network connections — allows for reduced startup times and capex, a significant advantage when targeting clusters dedicated…
