Catenaa, Thursday, August 28, 2025- Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, has expanded its staking services to all UK customers, enabling rewards on ether (ETH) and solana (SOL) directly through its platform.
The announcement follows the opening of Gemini’s first permanent London office, signaling a strategic push to strengthen its presence in the region.
Staking allows users to lock tokens to help secure proof-of-stake blockchains in exchange for rewards. Gemini’s new offering removes the previous 32-ether minimum requirement under its Staking Pro service, making participation accessible to retail users.
The exchange offers up to 6% annual percentage rate (APR) on SOL, with a variable rate for ETH. Rewards accrue daily and can be tracked within Gemini’s app.
The platform emphasizes its institutional-grade custody setup, providing an additional security layer for users’ staked assets.
Analysts note that the move positions Gemini competitively amid a growing market of exchanges offering staking, where yield rates and ease of use are key considerations for retail investors seeking passive income from digital assets.
Gemini recently secured a Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) license from the Malta Financial Services Authority, supporting its broader European expansion.
The exchange’s latest service aims to simplify engagement with proof-of-stake networks while expanding opportunities for UK-based users to earn staking rewards.
