Gemini Secures EU License for Crypto Derivatives
- Gemini secures MiFID II license for EU crypto derivatives.
- Boosts European expansion plans.
- Positions ahead of MiCA implementation.
Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, has obtained regulatory approval to offer crypto derivatives across Europe, marking a major step in its 2025 expansion strategy.
The approval allows Gemini to offer regulated derivatives products, including perpetual futures. This marks a strategic move ahead of the MiCA framework, ensuring Gemini’s compliance and market integration.
The crypto industry, including major exchanges like Kraken, Crypto.com, and Coinbase, has concentrated efforts on European regulatory compliance. Europe’s MiCA framework attracts digital asset firms.
European demand for digital assets is rising as the industry seeks legal clarity. Gemini’s move capitalizes on this demand, supporting future technological and regulatory trends.
Gemini continues to work with authorities to meet all conditions for a full launch of its derivatives trading services in the region. The exchange remains focused on securing a MiCA license.
