Gemini is making some big moves down under with its expansion into Australia, and honestly, it’s a pretty smart strategy. By setting up a local entity, they’re not just playing by the rules but also gearing up to grab a bigger slice of the pie in a country that’s all about crypto these days. So, let’s dive into how this could serve as a roadmap for other crypto companies trying to find their footing in the ever-changing regulatory landscape while also looking for growth.
Gemini just launched a local entity, Gemini Intergalactic Australia, which means they can use local payment systems and better serve Aussie customers. This is a solid move, showing they want to comply with the rules and be operationally efficient. Having a local presence allows them to stay on top of things and aligns their operations and marketing with Aussie regulations.
Saad Ahmed, who’s leading Gemini in Asia Pacific, said this local entity allows them to work without the constraints of a global framework. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about building trust with local users who want reliable platforms to engage with crypto.
Australia is also changing its regulatory game, with new draft legislation requiring digital asset platforms to get an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL). This is both a challenge and an opportunity for crypto companies. Gemini’s wait-and-see approach is smart, letting them see how things unfold before making any major changes.
By focusing on compliance and keeping an eye on regulations, they’re positioning themselves as a responsible player. It’s a good way to avoid legal headaches and build a solid reputation among users and regulators. As the regulatory landscape shifts, companies that can adapt quickly will have the upper hand.
Australia has a pretty high crypto penetration rate, estimated to be between 23% and 25%. This market is ripe for exchanges like Gemini. With a local entity, they can explore new offerings, like crypto payroll solutions, which are really taking off globally. More businesses are looking to pay foreign employees in crypto, and Gemini is in a great spot to take advantage of that.
The Aussie market has unique growth opportunities, especially in crypto payroll compliance and cross-border payments. By diversifying beyond just traditional trading, they can tap into newer niches like crypto-backed credit cards and staking services.
Gemini’s experience in Australia offers some lessons for other crypto companies looking to expand. The big points are about compliance, having a localized approach, and the importance of transparency in building trust. These are crucial for navigating global markets and achieving sustainable growth.
Companies should also think about diversifying their products to include innovative solutions that meet changing consumer demands. As the crypto landscape matures, those who embrace change and adapt will be the ones who succeed.
Gemini’s expansion into Australia is a good case study for other crypto companies trying to make their mark. They’ve established a local entity, prioritized compliance, and are ready to embrace market opportunities. As the crypto sector grows, companies adopting similar strategies will likely succeed in capturing market share and building lasting relationships with users. The future of cryptocurrency in Australia looks promising, and Gemini’s approach may set the standard for others.

Following a nearly $1.8 billion win in September 2025, the Powerball jackpot has climbed to $223 million for the next drawing, to be held Oct. 8.
September’s jackpot was the second-largest of all time, eclipsed only by a $2.04 billion prize in November 2022. Two anonymous winners shared in the most recent Powerball prize, one in Missouri and the other in Texas.
And while Powerball is currently eclipsed by Mega Millions’ $575 million jackpot, Powerball will still bring home a respectable $104.4 cash prize after taxes, if the winner chooses the lump sum.
Here’s what you need to know if you want to play.
The billion-dollar jackpot is gone, but that won’t stop Powerball drawings from happening.
The next Powerball drawing will take place Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 10:59 p.m. ET.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET. Drawings are broadcast live at those times and live-streamed on the Powerball website.
Powerball tickets cost $2.
In Ohio, the cutoff time to buy a Powerball ticket is 10 p.m. ET on the day of a drawing.
Tickets can be purchased in person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets.
Typically, yes.
However, Ohioans can no longer order Powerball tickets online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network. Ohio suspended Jackpocket because it was not in compliance with the Ohio Lottery Commission’s retailer terms and conditions, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
If playing the lottery online or through an app, it’s important to choose a reliable platform that is licensed and regulated to ensure that your purchase is safe and secure.
You can check Powerball’s official website for the latest results. The Ohio Lottery also shows the winning Powerball numbers based on current and previous drawing dates.
The Ohio Lottery says you should take these steps if you win a jackpot. Powerball tickets do expire, and in Ohio, you must claim your prize within 180 days of the drawing date.
