Beating AI News Flash: OpenAI announced that ChatGPT Finances has officially launched as a desktop application.

According to people familiar with the matter, Gemini Space Station (GEMI) — the holding company founded by the Winklevoss brothers that operates New York-based crypto exchange Gemini — has sold its UK and European operations to stablecoin payments firm KAST for less than $10 million. The source requested anonymity as the deal remains unannounced. A KAST job posting roughly a month ago already referenced the transaction, with the role requiring the incoming European general manager to oversee the handover of Gemini’s UK and EU-based staff and operations. Gemini declined to comment. A KAST spokesperson did not directly discuss the deal, but noted that as the firm’s revenue and operational footprint continue to expand, KAST is actively pursuing merger and acquisition opportunities. The sale follows Gemini’s decision earlier this year to scale back its international markets and restructure its business to cut costs and achieve profitability. In February this year, Gemini announced plans to gradually wind down its UK, EU, and Australian operations, cut roughly 25% of its global workforce, while retaining its U.S. and Singapore market operations.
