Crypto exchange Gemini has achieved a major milestone by receiving a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The approval makes Gemini the fifth exchange to secure such a license in Malta, alongside Bitpanda, Crypto.com, OKX, and ZBX. This step strengthens Gemini’s push to expand across Europe with a clear regulatory framework in place.
The Winklevoss-owned platform highlighted that the license allows it to offer secure and compliant crypto products across more than 30 European jurisdictions. Gemini noted that regulatory clarity is essential for global crypto adoption, praising Europe’s forward-thinking stance under MiCA. The license comes shortly after Gemini filed for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker “GEMI,” further signaling its ambitious growth strategy.
Alongside its MiCA approval, Gemini already holds a MiFID II license, enabling derivatives trading in the EU. The exchange has also introduced tokenized stock offerings on Arbitrum, giving European users 24/7 access to trade tokenized shares, joining competitors like Kraken and Robinhood in the growing tokenized equity space.
