About Gemini

The Compliance-First Exchange

Founded in 2014 by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, Gemini has built its reputation around regulatory compliance and security. It was one of the first exchanges to obtain a New York trust company charter and has consistently positioned itself as the most regulated crypto exchange available.

Gemini is FCA-registered in the UK and offers a clean, straightforward interface alongside Gemini ActiveTrader for more experienced users — all within the same account.

Gemini also offers an earn product and a crypto-back credit card in some regions, though availability varies for UK users.
