Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, has secured a Markets in Crypto Assets license from Malta’s Financial Services Authority. The approval strengthens Gemini’s European expansion strategy, giving it access to more than 30 jurisdictions under the EU’s new unified crypto framework.
MiCA, which took effect this year, is Europe’s first comprehensive digital asset rulebook, designed to harmonize oversight and provide clarity to companies operating in the sector. Gemini said the license reaffirms its compliance-first philosophy as it rolls out new services.
The exchange has been actively growing in Europe. In recent months, it secured a MiFID license for derivatives and launched tokenized stock products. Gemini said it plans to extend offerings for both retail and institutional users, with derivatives among the next additions.
The MiCA license also strengthens Gemini’s position as it gears up for a potential IPO. The firm recently hired top Wall Street banks, including Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, as lead bookrunners.
