Gemini Receives its MiCA License, Supporting Ongoing EU Expansion
Gemini has received its MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), enabling them to empower the next era of financial, creative and personal freedom in Europe.
Receiving this approval marks a critical milestone in Gemini’s regulated European expansion, as it will allow Gemini to expand their secure and reliable crypto products for customers in over 30 European countries and jurisdictions. The MiCA regulatory framework is crucial for standardising crypto laws throughout EU member states, and Gemini are confident it will help the region’s crypto ecosystem to flourish sustainably.
This approval comes in addition to receiving our MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) license to offer derivatives in May, making us a fully-compliant crypto trading platform in the EU. It follows their recent launch of tokenised stocks in the region, which are blockchain-based digital tokens representing company shares, available 24/5, and puts Gemini on track to launch exciting new products and services to retail and institutional customers, including derivatives.
Today’s announcement cements Gemini’s long-standing dedication to upholding the highest standards of regulatory compliance as we scale in the region. They believe that clear regulation of the industry is the foundation of global crypto adoption, and MiCA’s implementation has proven that Europe is one of the most innovative and forward-thinking regions regarding this.
