Gemini Launches ETH Staking in EU with No Minimum After MiCA Approval, Adds 100x USDC Perpetuals

Gemini announced the launch of ETH staking and Solana staking services across the European Union with no minimum deposit requirement, broadening institutional and retail access. The exchange states Solana staking can deliver annual rewards of up to 6%, while Ether staking will offer a variable yield that reflects network dynamics. In parallel, Gemini introduced USDC-priced perpetual contracts featuring up to 100x leverage and no expiration date, providing a leveraged derivative option for EU clients. The rollout follows Gemini’s confirmed MiCA compliance approval, signaling regulatory alignment for these market offerings. Investors should consider yield structures and leverage-related risk management when assessing these products.
