Specifically, clients of the infrastructure provider can now connect directly to the exchange’s infrastructure in order to access market data and order routing via FIX protocol. This includes clients who are also users of Gemini. 

Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini is applying to become a broker-dealer under the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). As Finance Magnates reported, regulatory approval from FINRA would allow the exchange operator to start acting as a venue for trading in securities.
