Gemini, the cryptocurrency platform founded by the Winklevoss twins, has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining the MiCA license in Malta, granting them the ability to operate throughout Europe. This development comes on the heels of their MiFID II license acquisition in May, which permitted the offering of derivative products. With these regulatory approvals, Gemini has introduced services such as tokenized stocks and is planning to expand its product suite to cater to both retail and institutional clients. Malta's regulatory environment, despite facing criticism from the ESMA for alleged leniency, continues to attract major crypto firms like OKX and Crypto.com. In the U.S., Gemini has navigated regulatory challenges, including a withdrawn SEC lawsuit and a $5 million settlement with the CFTC. The Winklevoss twins have also strengthened ties with the Trump administration, making significant donations to support pro-crypto policies.
