In the words of Gillian Lynch, head of Ireland and EU at Gemini, “We are delighted to welcome customers based in France onto the Gemini platform in the coming weeks as we further expand access to crypto across Europe.”
Gemini has secured the Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) authorization from the l’Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), allowing the crypto exchange to extend its offerings to France-based users.
In the official announcement, Gemini revealed that the firm will spend the coming weeks updating its trading platforms to integrate its French user base. Once Gemini deploys the updates, users located in France will be able to trade over 70 cryptocurrencies via Gemini’s web platform and mobile apps.
Retail clients will also gain access to ActiveTrader, a professional trading platform that provides detailed price charts in addition to supporting multiple order types.
Meanwhile, Gemini’s institutional clients will be able to access Gemini eOTC. Launched in January 2023, Gemini eOTC is the firm’s over-the-counter trading platform that allows clients to execute large-scale crypto trades while limiting the exposure to market impact and slippage.
