Gemini flee from the hostile United States

US regulators have yet to unanimously come up with a solid plan to regulate the digital asset industry, on the lines of the European Union, the United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong or Singapore. As a result, local crypto companies including Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) have chosen to diversify into international markets for the sake of future growth prospects.

Gemini is already under the SEC’s radar for its earnings program that has succumbed to the quagmire of FTX and Alameda Research.

“Last week, Genesis, Digital Currency Group (DCG), Unsecured Creditors Committee (UCC), Creditors Committee and Gemini agreed to start a 30-day mediation process to reach a final resolution as soon as possible,” Gemini noted recently.

As many other global jurisdictions enact crypto-friendly policies, the Gemini exchange with more than 94 thousand bitcoins in its balance felt obligated to flee the US market. Moreover, the company wants to capture a huge share of global cryptocurrency users as adoption ramps up ahead of the next bull market.

Notably, the SEC has charged several cryptocurrency exchanges for apparently providing unregistered securities to US investors. However, the agency has been criticized for green-lighting Coinbase for the IPO and subsequently charging it a fee to do the same work.

“If lawmakers can come together and build a clear framework for crypto companies, that would be a huge boon for the United States,” said Tyler Winklevoss, adding that the company is not leaving the US market but is leaning towards global markets for future growth prospects. .
