Availability for France residents
As of 14 June 2026, Gemini is not available to residents of France. Gemini announced the closure of all customer accounts in the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area effective 6 April 2026, and that date has now passed. France is a member of the European Economic Area, so the closure applies to French residents.
New French customers cannot onboard, and existing French account holders were asked to withdraw their assets before the cutoff. This reflects a commercial and regulatory decision by Gemini, not a ban on crypto in France.
Crypto remains legal in France. The market is supervised by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), working with the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR), under the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA), which is replacing the earlier French registration regime for digital asset service providers. Because Gemini is not available to French residents, this page does not show a compare available exchanges module for France.
What this means for residents of France
French residents who held a Gemini account should follow Gemini's published instructions to withdraw fiat to their bank account and crypto to an external wallet. New accounts cannot be opened from France.
For platforms that operate in France under MiCA, see the alternatives below and confirm the current position before acting.
