At Gemini, we are thrilled to announce our strategic expansion into Latin America—one of the most promising regions for cryptocurrency adoption globally.
Key Partnership Details
Starting December 14, Gemini will collaborate with Bancolombia, Colombia’s largest bank, to provide select customers with a secure and seamless gateway to buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies via the Gemini exchange.
This initiative is part of a 1-year pilot program approved by Colombia’s financial regulator, the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC). The program aims to:
- Enhance accessibility to crypto assets.
- Strengthen financial innovation in the region.
- Offer regulated, secure crypto services.
Why This Matters
- Strategic Expansion: Marks Gemini’s first major step into Latin America.
- Regulatory Compliance: Operates under SFC oversight, ensuring trust and transparency.
- Financial Empowerment: Enables Colombians to explore crypto as part of their financial portfolios.
Security First
As a New York Trust Company and qualified custodian regulated by the NYDFS, Gemini prioritizes:
- Cold storage for 95% of client assets.
- Insurance coverage against breaches.
- SOC 2 Type 2 compliance for enterprise-grade security.
"Crypto is borderless by nature. Our mission is to empower individuals worldwide through secure, accessible financial tools."
—Cynthia Del Pozo, Principal, Strategy & Corporate Development
