In a move that surprised precisely no one (except perhaps the regulators themselves), Gemini Space Station, Inc.-the brainchild of Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who famously lost half their fortune to Facebook and the other half to crypto winters-has been granted permission to turn speculation into a regulated sport.

On a Wednesday that will be remembered by crypto enthusiasts and skeptics alike, Gemini Titan, Gemini’s affiliate, was bestowed with the grand title of a designated contract market by the CFTC.
