Gemini Expands Into Australia With AUSTRAC Registration

Crypto exchange Gemini has expanded its global footprint by securing registration with AUSTRAC, Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism finance regulator. The move enables its Australian unit, Gemini Intergalactic Australia Pty Ltd, to offer digital currency exchange services locally.

Australian users can now trade cryptocurrencies directly in AUD, marking a major step for Gemini’s Asia-Pacific presence.

According to Gemini’s Global State of Crypto Report 2025, Australia’s crypto adoption rate has reached 22%, placing it on par with the U.S. The exchange, founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, ranks among the world’s top 20 by trading volume, recording over $126 million in the past 24 hours.

Gemini has appointed James Logan, formerly of Luno and Bitget, as Head of Australia to lead operations and local expansion.

The company said its AUSTRAC registration reinforces its commitment to compliance, transparency, and the long-term growth of the crypto ecosystem in one of the fastest-growing markets globally.
