Winklevoss Twins’ Gemini Exchange Now Allows Buying Crypto With British Pound

Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has announced it has expanded its UK operations to make it easier for users in the UK to buy, sell, and store cryptoassets.

In a blog post written by Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss, it’s detailed Gemini now supports the British Pound (GBP) in order to provide a better/localized experience for UK residents, who are now able to buy crypto using either GBP-based debit card or by depositing GBP into their Gemini fiat wallet via their bank.

Tyler also mentioned the cryptocurrency exchange has become authorized by the UK’s financial regulator—Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)—as an electronic money institution (EMI), and added that Gemini is firmly in favor of a policy of always asking financial regulators for permission before launching a new product or service.
