Gemini has just received an Investment Firm License from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). Once we commence business activities, we will be able to offer* regulated derivatives throughout the EU and EEA under MiFID II (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive), a framework regulating the traditional financial markets.

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. These will include perpetual futures and other derivatives which will be available to advanced users of Gemini. Over the coming months, we will be working towards meeting the required conditions to launch these products across Europe.

We’re confident this licence will open up new opportunities in the European market and beyond, and we look forward to sharing further updates as we continue our journey.

Onward and Upward,

Team Gemini
