Overview

• Ethereum and Solana staking is live across the EEA with no minimums, offering variable ETH rewards and up to 6% APR on SOL according to the company.
• USDC‑denominated perpetual futures offer up to 100x leverage with no expiry and operate under Gemini’s MiFID II authorization.
• The rollout follows a MiCA authorization obtained in Malta in August and an earlier MiFID II approval in May, enabling EU‑wide distribution of spot, staking and derivatives.
• Gemini says the expansion advances its goal of widening regulated access to crypto yield and derivatives, with Europe highlighted as a strategic focus by its regional head.
• The European launch comes shortly after a U.S. IPO filing seeking about $317 million at a potential $2.22 billion valuation, with shares planned for Nasdaq under ticker GEMI and Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as lead bookrunners.
