Cardano (@Cardano) founder Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) has renewed his long-running campaign to get $ADA listed on Gemini, seizing on the exchange's milestone anniversary to make his point publicly.
Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss recently marked the exchange's 11th anniversary by sharing a celebratory message on X, and Hoskinson responded with a pointed two-word comment: "List ADA." The remark was brief, but it carried the weight of a dispute that has dragged on for years.
The exchange has expanded the assets it supports over the years and currently lists major proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies including Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot, Cosmos, and Tezos. Yet ADA is not among them.
In its official listing policy, Gemini says it considers maturity, liquidity, market demand, utility, regulatory considerations, cybersecurity risks, and control concentration when evaluating assets. However, the exchange has not shared specific reasons for omitting ADA from its platform.
This is not Hoskinson's first public push. In December 2022, during a period when Gemini was facing challenges involving crypto lender Genesis, Hoskinson remarked that the failure to list ADA appeared "pretty tightly correlated" with bankruptcy and reckless risk-taking. At the time, FTX's collapse also drew attention, as that exchange had never launched an ADA spot market either.
In a 2025 interview with Blockchain Daily, Hoskinson took a sharper tone and identified Gemini as the last major US exchange still excluding ADA, estimating the platform may have lost $70 million in revenue over five years by not enabling ADA trading.
Hoskinson has repeatedly questioned Gemini's ADA policy since 2022 and raised the issue again in 2024 and 2025. Gemini has not announced any change to its listing policy or confirmed plans to add ADA. For now, the exchange's silence on the matter continues to frustrate the Cardano community, which points out that ADA is among the most established proof-of-stake assets in the market.
