 <p>Gemini’s strategic move into the European Union comes amidst an increasing trend of major U.S. crypto firms seeking growth opportunities in Europe. This trend is largely attributed to the stringent regulatory environment in the United States, particularly the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) actions toward the crypto industry.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>Notably, Gemini and another crypto lender, Genesis, faced charges from the SEC in the previous year for allegedly offering unregistered securities through Gemini Earn, a program promising high returns. Gemini maintains that its interest-earning products do not constitute securities and is actively contesting the SEC’s lawsuit to have it dismissed.</p>
 <p>The expansion by Gemini into France underscores the evolving dynamics of the global cryptocurrency market as firms navigate varied regulatory landscapes in their pursuit of growth and innovation.</p>
