Gemini, Crypto Exchange, founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, announced the expansion of his operations in Australia on Thursday, after securing formal registration in the country’s anti-laundering laundering of money laundering, Austrac.
Exchange’s Australian Arm, Gemini Intergalactic Australia PTY LTD, is now officially registered with Austrac, Australia’s Economic Intelligence and Anti-White Layout of Money, as the digital currency provider. It is necessary to register with Austrac before offering crypto exchange services in the country.
Gemini is one of the 20 best cryptocurrency exchanges by volume. The exchange has registered a total trading volume of over $ 126 million in the last 24 hours, according to Data Source CoingeCKO.
The entry of the exchange in Australia means that the locals can trade with cryptocurrencies using AUD, one of the G-10 currencies. Australia has quickly emerged as one of the world’s most lively crypto markets, according to Gemini’s Global State Crypto Report 2025, which found that the country’s crypto adoption has reached 22%, which set it on par with the United States.
“With Australia’s fast growing market for digitally asset, Gemini doubles on our Asia-Pacific Growth Strategy,” Saad Ahmed, head of APAC in Gemini, said in a press release shared with Coindesk.
Gemini has appointed James Logan as leader of Australia to lead his local operations. Logan brings long experience from his previous roles as Country Manager for Luno in Australia and a role at Bitget.
“The appointment of James as our leader of Australia emphasizes our obligation to build a safe, transparent and compatible ecosystem for both retail and institutional customers,” Ahmed added.
