Gemini to launch crypto derivatives in Europe with new license
Summary
Gemini has received regulatory approval to expand crypto derivatives trading in Europe, securing a MiFID II license from the Malta Financial Services Authority. This allows Gemini to offer regulated derivatives throughout the EU and EEA. The exchange plans to provide products such as perpetual futures for advanced users. Gemini's Maltese entity, Gemini Intergalactic EU Artemis, was issued the license on May 8, 2025. The exchange is working towards launching these products while it has not yet obtained full MiCA licensing. This move aligns with a broader trend in the crypto industry, as major exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken are also expanding their derivatives offerings.
