What this means for EU users
Gemini Intergalactic EU Ltd obtained both a MiCA authorization (7/10 services) and a Maltese MiFID II licence, and even launched EEA derivatives — then reversed course and wound down all UK, EEA and Australian retail accounts effective April 6, 2026.
The register entry still exists, but for practical purposes EEA retail users cannot use Gemini.
