Cynthia Del Pozo Garcia, Director, Strategy & Corporate Development at Gemini, notes that as one of the most important and developed markets in the Americas, Canada has “played an essential role in Gemini’s international expansion.”
The team at Gemini are glad to show their continued commitment to Ontario and the broader Canadian market. By providing “a pre-registration undertaking to the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), they are taking a key step in their application to register as a restricted dealer with the OSC.”
Canada has also “been at the forefront of the global crypto fund management space, with publicly traded crypto ETFs being approved and in market since 2021.”
Gemini is proud to “serve as sub-custodian to many Canadian crypto ETFs through our dedicated Fund Solutions business.”
Since its inception eight years ago, Gemini has worked “with regulatory stakeholders and lawmakers to help shape thoughtful regulation that fosters both consumer protection and innovation.”
They will “continue to do this work.”
They have “spent considerable time applying for and becoming licensed, registered, and otherwise regulated in various jurisdictions across the world.”
Gemini reportedly “holds many licenses globally, including a New York trust license, state money transmitter licenses (or the statutory equivalent), an E-Money License from the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, and an E-Money License from the Central Bank of Ireland.”
You can learn more about their international licenses via their Trust Center.
Related to their licenses, Gemini must “undergo annual audits of their financial statements and is subject to bank examinations conducted by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).”
They look forward “to continuing their work with regulators and partners in their industry to build trust in this new financial frontier and unlock the ultimate promise of crypto.”
