Crypto Exchange Giant Gemini To Arrive In The UK

In the past several years, the exchange market in Europe wasn’t really as big and diverse as the one in the United States or Japan because of regulation, liquidity, and infrastructure. But, in today’s news, we find out that this is about to change.

The major US-based crypto exchange Gemini is in a negotiating process to expand into the European market.

Gemini stated:

 “Gemini continues to explore potential jurisdictions around the globe to provide a best-in-class digital asset exchange and custodian which will enable growth and infrastructure to the entire digital asset community. Although we have no immediate plans, we will always evaluate opportunities that allow the global economy to buy, sell, and store digital assets in a regulated, secure and compliant manner.”

Gemini is a very popular exchange that managed to build its reputation throughout the years. It’s now fully compliant with all federal regulations and they are even working harder to establish a better governance and regulation so the entire crypto exchange market will be improved.

At the start of the summer this year, Gemini integrated Zcash because of its anonymity features so they can use it in broader aspects of the financial market. With listing Zcash on their platform, they showed the cooperation with regulators while integrating anonymous cryptocurrencies because they were at one point in time, considered to be money laundering tools.

This expansion into the UK is very important for the European crypto market because there are no alternative crypto exchanges that handle crypto-to-pound trades apart Coinbase. Coinbase on the other hand, just recently obtained an e-money license from the UK Financial Conduct Authority so Gemini will also have to file for one.
