Summary

Gemini launched Command Center, a Grok-powered AI market information layer for its prediction market that provides real-time insights, signals, summaries, predictions, and personalized analysis. According to The Block, the service was built with SpaceXAI, while earlier reporting had described it as developed with SpaceX and xAI, so the naming remains unclear. Gemini said the launch builds on a broader AI push that also includes its Agentic Trading feature, which lets users connect trading accounts to models such as Claude and ChatGPT. The company is also expanding beyond spot crypto trading into derivatives, prediction, and other financial services: its first-quarter report said services and interest revenue, including credit cards, staking, and custody, rose more than 120% year over year to $24.5 million, nearly half of total revenue. Gemini also said it obtained Commodity Futures Trading Commission licenses to operate as a Designated Contract Market and Derivatives Clearing Organization, and The Block reported that on Thursday the CFTC apologized for a 2022 enforcement action and joined a motion for relief to vacate a January 2025 consent order. At the same time, Gemini reported a net loss of $109 million in Q1 2026 and a drop in trading volume to $6.3 billion from $13.5 billion a year earlier, alongside executive departures and exits from underperforming markets in the UK, EU, and Australia. Separately, SpaceX disclosed holdings of 18,712 Bitcoin worth about $1.36 billion in an S-1 filing, about 10,000 more Bitcoin than previously expected based on earlier sales disclosures.
