Crypto exchange Gemini has officially received a MiCA license from Malta’s Financial Services Authority (MFSA), marking a major regulatory achievement. This license now allows Gemini to offer its crypto services across more than 30 European countries, in full compliance with the EU’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.
MiCA, which came into effect in 2024, sets a common standard for crypto regulations across the European Union. It aims to protect users, reduce fraud, and bring more transparency to the growing digital asset space.
With this license, Gemini joins a select group of exchanges that meet MiCA’s strict guidelines, opening the door for broader adoption and trust within the region.
Thanks to the MiCA license, Gemini can now expand its full range of services—including trading, custody, and stablecoin offerings—across EU member states without having to apply for separate licenses in each country.
This simplifies operations and helps ensure that users receive the same level of compliance, safety, and oversight across all supported countries. For the European crypto market, this move also brings more competition and innovation, which benefits everyday investors.
The approval also reinforces Gemini’s global push for regulatory compliance, especially after already being licensed in the U.S., U.K., and Asia-Pacific regions.

The MiCA approval isn’t just a win for Gemini—it reflects growing momentum in crypto regulation across Europe. As governments and regulators build frameworks to support digital finance, exchanges like Gemini that play by the rules are set to gain a competitive edge.
With this move, Gemini strengthens its position as a trustworthy platform for institutional and retail users in Europe, signaling a new era for crypto adoption under clear regulatory guidance.
