Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, established by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has officially announced its Australian market expansion following successful registration with AUSTRAC, the nation's financial intelligence and anti-money laundering regulatory authority.
Gemini Intergalactic Australia Pty Ltd, the exchange's Australian subsidiary, has obtained formal AUSTRAC registration as a digital currency service provider. This regulatory approval is mandatory for all cryptocurrency exchanges operating within Australia.
Ranked among the top 20 global cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, Gemini has processed over $126 million in transactions during the past 24 hours according to Coingecko data.
The Australian market entry enables local traders to execute cryptocurrency transactions using Australian Dollars (AUD). Australia has demonstrated remarkable crypto market growth, with Gemini's Global State of Crypto Report 2025 revealing 22% adoption rates matching United States penetration levels.
"Australia's expanding digital asset marketplace represents a strategic priority for Gemini's Asia-Pacific growth initiatives," stated Saad Ahmed, Gemini's APAC Regional Director, in an official press release.
James Logan has been appointed Head of Australian Operations, bringing substantial industry expertise from previous leadership positions at Luno Australia and Bitget. "James's appointment reinforces our dedication to developing secure, transparent, and regulatory-compliant solutions for retail and institutional investors," Ahmed emphasized.
