Gemini Launches in France after VASP Registration\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The business is taking advantage of France's expanding cryptocurrency ecosystem and legislative support after registering as a Virtual Asset Service Provider\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> earlier this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a Gemini press statement, the move enables customers in France to register Gemini accounts and trade or store more than 70 digital assets via the platform's web or mobile app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With support for the Euro and British Pound, French consumers can now load their accounts with regional payment methods like bank transfers, Apple Pay, and debit cards<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutional clients looking for deep liquidity and competitive pricing can also take advantage of advanced trading capabilities, including Gemini's ActiveTraderTM platform and its over-the-counter trading services.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini's research into the French market shows its growing interest in digital assets, and a robust regulatory framework presents a unique opportunity to introduce our platform to the trading community and extend our presence in the European market over the coming months.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

France's growing interest in crypto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the help of a more recent regulatory environment encouraging innovation, France has become a major player in the global cryptocurrency market<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The percentage of French citizens who possess cryptocurrency has increased to 18%, up two percentage points from 2022, according to Gemini's 2024 Global State of Crypto study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the difficulties caused by the “crypto winter,” a protracted decline in the value of digital assets, this increase has occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, respondents in France had a higher level of trust in cryptocurrency than those in the US and the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Union's MiCA law<\/a>, which was implemented in 2023 to establish clear guidelines for cryptocurrency enterprises throughout the EU, and France's VASP regime are credited for fostering this confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the survey, 46% of French cryptocurrency owners bought their first cryptocurrency three to five years ago, and the majority (62%) of them saw digital assets as long-term investments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In France, nearly half (49%) of former cryptocurrency owners anticipate returning to the market in the upcoming year, and 28% intend to dedicate 5% of their portfolios to cryptocurrency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 32% of previous and non-owners mentioned regulatory worries, down from 37% in 2022, while 43% of respondents said that fraud prevention measures<\/a> are the most important element in fostering trust in the cryptocurrency sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the survey, despite a 10% decrease since 2022, women still make up 35% of cryptocurrency owners in France, making them among the largest in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
