One of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Gemini, has had its UK arm added to the Financial Conduct Authority’s official list of registered cryptoasset firms.

On 19 August, the regulator added Gemini Europe Limited to its list — making it only the second firm to receive this recognition. Digital asset exchange ArchaxEx got the green light earlier on the same day.
