This allows the exchange to offer regulated crypto derivatives across the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA).
With the license, the exchange can begin offering select derivatives, including perpetual futures, to advanced users. Gemini stated that it is working with regulators to meet the conditions for a full-scale launch.
“This is a hugely exciting development in our 2025 European expansion, as it puts Gemini one step closer to offering our derivative products to both retail and institutional users in the EU and the EEA.”
According to the exchange, the licensing forms part of its broader strategy to grow its European footprint in 2025.
The exchange added that this approval creates new opportunities for growth in one of the world’s most promising crypto markets.
This avalanche can be linked to Europe’s adoption of the MiCA regime, which has made the region more attractive to companies seeking legal clarity amid increasing demand for digital assets from institutional and retail crypto investors.
