As of June 2026, Gemini lists Singapore among its supported countries on its official areas of availability page.

Availability for Singapore residents
As of 13 June 2026, Gemini lists Singapore among the countries it supports on its official areas of availability page. The platform is operated by Gemini Trust Company LLC, a United States based company, and serves Singapore residents under Singapore specific terms. Availability is set by Gemini and can change, so confirm current access on the platform before acting.
In Singapore, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) regulates digital payment token services under the Payment Services Act 2019. Gemini has publicly reported receiving in principle approval from MAS for a Major Payment Institution licence to provide digital payment token and cross border money transfer services. In principle approval indicates MAS intends to grant a licence once remaining conditions are met, and it is not the same as a full licence, so the status can still change.
The compare available exchanges module below lists platforms that genuinely serve Singapore residents. Supported products and listed assets on Gemini can differ from those offered in other countries, so check the current menu in your account.
Access, KYC, and products
Gemini operates a custodial model, which means the platform holds the assets in your account on your behalf rather than giving you the private keys. Identity verification (know your customer, or KYC) is required before trading, in line with anti money laundering rules. Singapore residents should expect to provide identity documents and answer source of funds questions during onboarding.
Funding methods and supported currencies can vary by country and over time. Whether Singapore dollar (SGD) deposits are offered directly is something to confirm on the platform. Note that MAS restricts the marketing and advertising of digital payment token services to the general public in Singapore, so promotional access can be limited even where the service itself is available. Gemini publishes its regulatory status and reserve practices, including third party audits, which you can review on its site.
How crypto is taxed in Singapore
Singapore does not levy a general capital gains tax, which the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) administers the tax system around. In general terms, gains that are part of a trade or business can be taxable as income, while occasional personal investment gains may fall outside income tax. The treatment depends on the facts of each case.
See the Singapore crypto tax page for a fuller general explanation, and confirm your position with a qualified professional before filing. This is general information, not tax advice (as of 13 June 2026).
Gemini lists Singapore as supported, and so do several other licensed or applicant platforms. Availability and supported products vary, so compare the exchanges that are genuinely available in Singapore before you choose.
Every availability status here is dated and checked against the named regulator's public register. We never place a link to a platform where it is not available.
