TechFlow news, February 11 — According to Cryptonews, cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has received in-principle approval from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) for an Investment Company license. This license will allow Gemini to offer regulated futures and options trading services to professional traders and institutions across the European Union and European Economic Area under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) framework.
Mark Jennings, Head of Europe at Gemini, said this marks a significant step in the company's 2025 European expansion strategy. Currently, Gemini already operates multiple services in Europe, including spot trading of over 90 digital assets, the ActiveTrader platform with more than 80 trading pairs, and over-the-counter trading services for institutional clients.
Previously, Gemini selected Malta as its operational hub under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework.
