- Gemini has launched tokenized stock trading for users in the European Union.
- The service begins with shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR), with plans to add more stocks and ETFs soon.
- Gemini teamed up with Dinari to issue these tokenized assets.
- Dinari recently secured broker-dealer registration from FINRA, permitting the offering of tokenized U.S. stocks.
- Other major exchanges, including Coinbase and Kraken, are also looking to expand into tokenized securities for European customers.
Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, started offering tokenized stock trading to customers in the European Union. The initial release features tokenized shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR), a company recognized as the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Gemini confirmed on Friday that additional stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will be introduced in the coming days.
According to an official announcement on X (formerly Twitter), the firm partnered with Dinari to issue these digital tokens. Dinari is a company that focuses on converting real-world assets into blockchain-based tokens. This partnership follows Dinari‘s recent approval as a broker-dealer by the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which allows it to offer tokenized versions of U.S. stocks.
The move comes at a time when more investors are seeking access to traditional financial assets, like company shares, through blockchain technology—a process called tokenization. Other crypto firms such as Coinbase and Kraken are also working on expanding tokenized securities trading, while Robinhood reportedly plans to offer tokenized U.S. stocks to EU customers.
Last month, Gemini acquired a MiFID II license from Malta. This regulatory approval lets the exchange offer derivative products throughout the European Economic Area.
Tokenization makes it possible to represent ownership of real-world assets, such as stocks, on the blockchain. This approach aims to help streamline trading and access globally.
