With the registration, Gemini wants to become a restricted crypto provider in Canada after the local authorities made several changes regarding the crypto market. Gemini didn’t elaborate on when exactly it plans to receive an approval from the local authorities.
Besides Canada, Gemini already holds various license to operate as a crypto provider, including a New York trust license, state money transmitter licenses, an E-Money License from the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, and an E-Money License from the Central Bank of Ireland.
