Gemini’s APAC Expansion Builds Global Momentum
At Gemini we have a global vision, with the understanding that crypto is borderless by nature and has the potential to empower individuals around the world.
One of the most exciting markets for crypto and financial innovation is the Asia Pacific region. We recently celebrated the first anniversary of Gemini’s presence in the region, and our Singapore-based operations have shown tremendous growth and potential thus far. Anchored by support for the Singapore dollar (SGD), we are thrilled to see the continued expansion of our regional headquarters as Gemini becomes a leader in the APAC crypto landscape.
Ambitious Growth in Asia Pacific
Our APAC headquarters in Singapore has quickly developed into a vibrant team of professionals with industry-specific expertise. Among the most recent additions to our team is Yee Fei Soh, Head of Product Management for Gemini APAC. Prior to Gemini, Yee Fei led the equity derivatives development team at Singapore Exchange (SGX), responsible for driving new product initiatives for the exchange. It is through the conscientious hiring of knowledgeable and talented individuals that the team aims to provide Gemini with a robust base as we expand in the region.
To date, our Singapore office has hired a team of over 30 employees across various departments including legal and compliance, engineering, marketing and communications, business development, trading, risk management, talent acquisition, product management, and customer support. If you’re interested in a career in crypto and want to join a dynamic team, we invite you to explore our careers page here.
Our rapid growth in Singapore will pave the way for satellite offices throughout APAC, including in Australia and Hong Kong, with crypto increasingly becoming a staple of the global financial system.
Unparalleled Products and Services
Our retail and institutional customers throughout APAC can buy, sell, and store more than 40 cryptos, with their funds secured by top-of-the-line proprietary cold storage systems or held in insured hot wallets. Further bolstering our APAC footprint is our support for the Australian dollar (AUD) and Hong Kong dollar (HKD).
Gemini users in APAC also have access to our ActiveTrader™ platform, which provides advanced traders with the tools they need to implement sophisticated crypto trading strategies for SGD trading pairs. Working in tandem with local regulators, we now support the use of SingPass to facilitate opening a Gemini account, streamlining the application process for Singapore residents while ensuring the highest level of security and compliance.
We will continue providing our APAC customers with new innovative crypto products throughout the year ahead to best serve their financial interests. As we continue to empower the individual through crypto, we’ve never been more excited about the opportunities for Gemini in APAC.
Onward and Upward!
