Hi there,

An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is one of the biggest tests a company can undergo. Simply put, it exposes itself to public opinion and investor assessment regarding the company's attractiveness.

Investors continuously determine a company's value by buying or selling its shares, and this will no doubt be the case with Gemini – the crypto exchange run by the Winklevoss brothers, yes, the ones behind Facebook.

The Gemini IPO took place last Friday, and since then, Gemini stock CFD has been available as a tradeable instrument on SimpleFX.

The launch wasn't without some surprises, though. The final offering price was $28—slightly higher than the projected range of $24 to $26 per each—but shares sold slightly less than expected (15.2M vs. 16.7M). This allowed for a total of $426M to be raised.

Gemini shares jumped 32.2% in their Nasdaq debut on Friday. 

As is often the case, however, volatility pushed the stock to $32 at closing, which still represented a 14% increase over the offer price. Meanwhile, after the weekend, Gemini opens with a gap up by 5%, rising from the offer price by 21%.

 

Will the price gap be closed, or are we heading north?

 
Thanks,
