Gemini Expands into Australia with AUSTRAC Registration

Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has officially expanded its operations into Australia following registration with AUSTRAC, the nation’s anti-money laundering and financial intelligence regulator.

The exchange’s Australian entity, Gemini Intergalactic Australia Pty Ltd, is now fully licensed as a digital currency provider, enabling the company to offer crypto trading services locally. This registration is a key step for compliance and market entry in Australia.

Gemini, among the world’s top 20 exchanges by volume, recorded over $126 million in trading in the past 24 hours. Australians can now trade digital assets using the AUD, reflecting the country’s growing adoption of cryptocurrencies. According to Gemini’s Global State of Crypto Report 2025, 22% of Australians hold digital assets, putting adoption levels on par with the United States.

Saad Ahmed, Gemini’s Head of APAC, said: “With Australia’s rapidly expanding crypto market, we are strengthening our Asia-Pacific strategy.”

Gemini appointed James Logan as Head of Australia to lead operations. Logan brings experience from Luno and Bitget, reinforcing Gemini’s commitment to building a secure, transparent, and compliant platform for local users.
