Gemini Slams Through MiFID II Compliance—Malta Blesses Its Crypto Derivatives Play in Europe
Gemini Slams Through MiFID II Compliance—Malta Blesses Its Crypto Derivatives Play in Europe
6
1
Gemini just hacked through regulatory red tape—Malta’s financial watchdog handed them a MiFID II license, clearing the path for crypto derivatives across the EEA. Because nothing says ’legitimacy’ like setting up shop in Europe’s favorite regulatory sandbox.
The Winklevoss twins’ exchange now gets to play with the big boys—offering leveraged products to traders who’ve been itching to gamble on crypto with extra steps. Meanwhile, traditional finance grumbles about the ’Wild West’ moving into their backyard.
One small step for Gemini, one giant leap for crypto’s quest to dress decentralized chaos in a three-piece suit. Just don’t ask how Malta—population: one crypto lobbyist per square mile—became the gatekeeper of EU market integrity.
