Gemini Secures MiFID II License for EU Derivatives Expansion

Gemini has obtained an Investment Firm License from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), enabling the crypto exchange to operate under the MiFID II regulatory framework across the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). The license marks a major step forward in Gemini’s 2025 European expansion, giving it the green light to eventually offer regulated derivatives, including perpetual futures, to both retail and institutional investors. “This is a hugely exciting development,” said Mark Jennings, Head of Europe at Gemini. “It puts us one step closer to launching advanced derivative products across the EU and EEA.” The firm now enters the implementation phase, working to meet all regulatory conditions required to activate its derivatives offerings in Europe. Once launched, Gemini will be among a select group of crypto platforms operating under MiFID II, the same regulatory standard applied to traditional financial institutions in the region.
