爱尔兰中央银行已提供监管批准双子座 ，一个加密货币交易所。 Gemini 现在将能够在爱尔兰扩展加密服务。该交易所位于爱尔兰（都柏林），并于 2021 年在那里设立了总部。
在对安全和合规计划进行彻底审查后，该交易所被授予了该许可证。此外，Gemini 是有史以来第一个在爱尔兰获得（虚拟资产服务提供商）VASP 批准的加密货币交易所。
VASP 注册于去年在该国推出。对于接受 VASP 注册的加密货币交易所，它要求中央银行以确保围绕反洗钱和打击资助恐怖主义的适当程序的方式审查公司。
爱尔兰和欧盟负责人吉莉安林奇提到，
我们很高兴向爱尔兰和欧洲国家的个人和机构提供我们的产品和服务。
Gemini 获得许可证的消息是在加密货币交易所宣布最近裁员之后发布的。两个月前，Gemini 曾提到由于最近的加密货币低迷，它将裁员 10%。
正如阿娇林奇所说，
Gemini 建立在寻求许可而非宽恕的精神之上。从第一天起，Gemini 就与世界各地的监管机构合作，帮助制定既保护消费者又促进创新的深思熟虑的监管。
今年早些时候，Gemini 还获得了爱尔兰中央银行的电子货币机构 (EMI) 授权。对于 Gemini 来说，获得 VASP 注册是一个巨大的进步，因为该公司现在将在该国提供加密服务。
林奇进一步提到，
我们认为监管对于保护投资者和提供安全的数字资产体验至关重要。都柏林是 Gemini 的欧洲总部，我们在这里看到了对加密货币的巨大兴趣。此注册有助于客户对 Gemini 作为安全和透明的提供商充满信心。

该注册现在将允许爱尔兰的个人和机构进入交易所和他们的托管服务，以便与欧元和英镑一起购买、出售和存储 100 多种加密货币。
去年 4 月，欧盟第五条反洗钱指令 (5AMLD) 被纳入爱尔兰法律。这使得交易所在未获得爱尔兰中央银行注册的情况下在该国运营是非法的。
除此之外，交易所应该确保正确识别客户并说明加密资产的来源和目的地。最后，根据法律，交易所平台还应报告任何形式的不信任金融活动。
Gemini 在 2020 年申请的电子货币牌照在两年后被交易所收到。现在Gemini可以发行电子货币，也可以提供电子支付服务。
它还应能够为第三方处理电子支付，尽管它不允许实体作为交换来运行和扩展服务。
除了 Gemini，Kraken 和 Ripple 也选择了爱尔兰作为他们的欧洲基地，另外 Binance 去年在爱尔兰开设了多家子公司。
