Gemini, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has taken a significant step forward by registering with AUSTRAC, Australia's anti-money laundering regulator. This registration enables Gemini Intergalactic Australia Pty Ltd to operate locally, providing Australian users the ability to trade cryptocurrencies directly using Australian Dollars (AUD).

With over $126 million in trading volume reported in the past 24 hours alone, Australia is proving to be a highly active and growing market for digital assets. The nation's crypto adoption rate stands at 22%, closely mirroring the United States, which highlights Australia's increasing enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies.

Recognizing the importance of strong leadership and regulatory compliance, Gemini has appointed James Logan as the Head of Australia. Under his guidance, Gemini is committed to establishing a robust, compliant ecosystem catering to both retail and institutional customers.

For Australian investors looking to participate in the crypto market with ease and security, Gemini now offers a trusted local platform. Additionally, platforms like Bitlet.app complement such trends by offering innovative services like Crypto Installments, allowing users to purchase cryptocurrencies now and pay over time through monthly plans.

The move by Gemini underscores a maturing Australian crypto landscape focused on compliance, accessibility, and market growth, positioning Australia as a major player in the global digital asset economy.
