Gemini, the global digital asset platform, has announced the expansion of its operations into Australia as part of its long-term growth strategy in the Asia Pacific region.

The company has appointed James Logan as Head of Australia, completed registration with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC), and introduced new Australian dollar banking rails to facilitate faster deposits and trading.

Australia is regarded as one of the world’s most active markets for digital assets.

According to Gemini’s Global State of Crypto Report 2025, 22% of Australians currently own digital assets, a figure comparable to that of the US.

With the expansion, Australian users will be able to deposit Australian dollars instantly through Osko and the New Payments Platform, conduct trades using the local currency on both the Gemini app and the Gemini ActiveTrader platform, and access a broad range of digital tokens.

James Logan, appointed Head of Australia, will oversee the company’s Australian strategy, partnerships, and customer growth.

He brings extensive experience in financial services and the digital asset sector, having held senior positions at exchanges including Luno and Bitget.

“Gemini’s expansion in Australia comes at an exciting time for the industry,”

said James Logan.

“Australians are increasingly turning to trusted platforms to manage their digital assets. I’m thrilled to lead Gemini’s efforts here and to build a strong presence that will support long-term adoption and innovation.”
