Gemini – Cryptocurrency Exchange Volume and Information

Gemini is a licensed digital asset exchange and custodian. Buy, sell, and store both bitcoin and ether in a regulated, secure, and compliant manner.  In addition to being a digital asset exchange, Gemini is a custodian that is licensed to custody your digital assets in trust on your behalf. As a New York trust company licensed by the New York State Department of Financial Services, Gemini is a fiduciary under §100 of the New York Banking Law and held to specific capital reserve requirements and banking compliance standards.

Buy bitcoin and crypto instantly! Gemini is a simple, elegant, and secure platform to build your crypto portfolio. Buying, selling, and storing your cryptocurrency has never been this seamless.

Gemini offers two custody solutions for your digital assets: Depository Accounts and Segregated Custody Accounts. Depository accounts are default for all Gemini customers. Segregated Custody Accounts are ideal for institutional customers like hedge funds, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds, who may be required by law to store their digital assets with a licensed custodian like Gemini. A Segregated Custody Account constitutes a bailment relationship between you and Gemini (i.e., you retain title).

Gemini Products

Gemini boasts a diverse range of products for small investors who want to stay long on cryptocurrency to advanced traders who want advanced features like charting and instant trades. Gemini Exchange is Gemini's platform for buying and selling cryptocurrency. It is available both through your web browser and as an app on both the iTunes store and Google Play app store. The mobile app also includes the Gemini Wallet, which allows users to pay for goods using their crypto holdings.

For advanced traders, Gemini offers its Active Trader Platform. According to its website, the platform features "advanced charting, multiple order types, auctions, and block trading." They also claim to be able to execute orders in "microseconds," but that may depend on how you define "execute" and what kind of cryptocurrency you're trading.

The Gemini exchange only supports Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is likely because Gemini seeks to be a highly trusted and institutional-friendly exchange. Many newer cryptocurrencies are yet to prove themselves over a long enough period and if Gemini were forced to delist an asset for any reason it would make the platform appear less sophisticated and mature.
