"The Gemini Spaceship will undergo scheduled Exchange maintenance on Thursday, December 15th from approximately 10:00 p.m. until Friday, December 16th at 12:30 a.m. ET," and all user interfaces and trading will be unavailable during that time, a notice on the exchange's status page said.
However, the exchange had postponed the service resumption multiple times since then, with the services being down for almost 7.5 hours. The crypto exchange said its services were restored at 10:30 UTC.
"Gemini is investigating reports of potential service disruptions. All customer accounts and funds remain completely secure." the exchange said
Gemini has also reportedly executed two rounds of layoffs since the start of the crypto winter, along with other firms, such as Coinbase (COIN) and Bybit.

需要了解的:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
