Crypto exchange giant Gemini, founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has officially expanded into Australia after securing registration with AUSTRAC, the nation’s anti-money laundering regulator. The company’s local arm, Gemini Intergalactic Australia Pty Ltd, is now authorized to operate as a digital currency exchange, paving the way for Australians to trade cryptocurrencies using AUD.

The move marks a major milestone in Gemini’s Asia-Pacific growth strategy. Australia’s crypto adoption has surged to 22%, matching the United States, according to Gemini’s Global State of Crypto Report 2025. With over $126 million in daily trading volume, Gemini ranks among the world’s top 20 exchanges.

To strengthen its local presence, Gemini has appointed James Logan as Head of Australia. Logan, formerly with Luno and Bitget, will lead efforts to build a safe, transparent, and compliant ecosystem for retail and institutional investors across the region.
