The Central Bank of Ireland has provided regulatory approval to Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange. Gemini will now be able to extend crypto services in Ireland. The exchange is situated in Ireland (Dublin), it established its headquarters there in the year 2021.

After a thorough review of the security and compliance programmes, this license was granted to the exchange. Additionally, Gemini is the first ever cryptocurrency exchange to be granted the (Virtual Asset Service Provider) VASP approval in the Ireland.

The VASP registration was introduced in the country last year. For a crypto exchange to receive the VASP registration, it requires the Central Bank to review firms in such a way that it ensures there are proper procedures around anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism.

Gillian Lynch, the Head of Ireland and EU mentioned that,

We are excited to offer our products and services to individuals and institutions in Ireland and countries in Europe.

Crypto Exchange Gemini’s Latest Developments

The news of Gemini receiving its license came after the crypto exchange announced their recent reduction in its current workforce. Two months ago, Gemini had mentioned that it would be reducing the workforce by 10% due to the recent crypto downturn.

As Gillian Lynch, commented that,

Gemini was founded on the ethos of asking for permission, not forgiveness. Since day one, Gemini has engaged with regulators around the world to help shape thoughtful regulation that both protects consumers and fosters innovation.

Earlier this year, Gemini had also received an electronic money institution (EMI) authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. For Gemini receiving the VASP registration is a huge step as the company would be now providing crypto services in the country.

Lynch further mentioned,

We believe that regulation is vital to protect investors and offer a safe experience with digital assets. Dublin is Gemini’s European headquarters and we are seeing huge interest in crypto here. This registration helps customers have confidence in Gemini as a secure and transparent provider.

Individuals And Institutions Can Store More Than 100 Crypto On The Platform

This registration will now let individuals and institutions of Ireland get their way into the exchange and their custody services in order to buy, sell and also store over 100 cryptos alongside euro and Great British pound.

The European Union’s Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive, or 5AMLD was transferred into the Irish law in April, last year. This made it illegal for exchanges to operate in the country without receiving registration from Central Bank of Ireland.

Along with this, the exchange is supposed to ensure appropriate identification of clients and accounting for the origin and destination of crypto assets. Lastly, the exchange platform is also legally expected to report any form of distrustful financial activity.

The e-money license which Gemini had applied for in the year 2020 was received by the exchange two years later. Now Gemini can issue electronic money and also provide electronic payment services.

It shall also be able to take care of electronic payments for third party although, it does not let entities to function and extend services as an exchange.

Other than Gemini, Kraken and Ripple have also chosen Ireland as their European base, additionally Binance started multiple subsidiaries in Ireland last year.
