Crypto exchangeGemini today announced support for the euro. It’s now possible to buy cryptocurrencies listed on its platform with the currency, whether on the web, by debit card, with a deposit, or through a wire transfer.
Gemini has also added support for Bitcoin and Ethereum pairings for the euro and the British pound on its ActiveTrader platform. This is its professional-level cryptocrypto exchange that allows for more complicated trades.
“Expanding internationally and supporting EUR is another exciting step forward in our mission to empower individuals around the world through crypto. Onward and Upward!” said Gemini in its blog post.
The New York-based exchange already supports trading pairs with the Australian, Canadian, Hong Kong and US dollar.
Today’s announcement is a continuation of Gemini’s expansion into Europe and the UK. At the end of last month, Gemini announced its expansion into the United Kingdom. The Financial Conduct Authority, the UK’s top financial regulator, awarded it a much sought after e-money license.
