While breaking the news, the UK regulator stated that the firm already underwent and passed an assessment test. With this move, Gemini crypto exchange has become the first-ever American based crypto firm to be approved.
Coincidentally, the firm is the second digital assets firm that has been approved. January 2021 will witness the start of crypto companies around the United kingdom complying with the regulations that were filed by the FCA in 2017.
Aside from getting registered by the body, crypto firms in the UK would have to follow regulations that have to do with Money Laundering and Funding.
