Overview

• Gemini Staking is now available to EEA users with no minimums, offering variable rewards on ether and up to 6% on solana, according to the company.
• Gemini Perpetuals launch with USDC-denominated contracts that have no expiry and offer up to 100x leverage.
• The new derivatives operate under Gemini’s existing MiFID II authorization, extending regulated access across the EU and EEA.
• Gemini established a Malta-based entity to align with MiCA, a step the company says enables a broader EU product suite spanning spot, staking, and derivatives.
• The rollout follows a recent U.K. staking expansion and coincides with a U.S. IPO plan seeking to raise up to $317 million at a potential $2.22 billion valuation under the Nasdaq ticker GEMI.
