Weekly Crypto Update 📓
-------------------------
Gemini, a major New York-based cryptocurrency exchange, is exiting the Netherlands, citing regulatory constraints, following Binance's previous departure. The move comes as Gemini struggles to meet the demands of the De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). They plan to re-enter the Dutch market once they align with the new European Union regulations known as Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
Gemini has informed its Dutch users to withdraw their assets or transfer them to compliant local exchange Bitvavo before the platform suspends its operations in the Netherlands on November 17, 2023.
Bitvavo is a DNB-registered exchange and a member of the Dutch Association of Bitcoin Companies. This withdrawal is another example of the evolving regulatory landscape for cryptocurrency exchanges in the Netherlands.
How do you think these regulatory changes are impacting crypto adoption?
