Gemini Bitcoin Exchange Review

Last updated on January 2nd, 2018 at 12:00 am

The Gemini bitcoin exchange was devised by a famous pair of twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. You might remember them as the Olympians who sued Mark Zuckerburg. But today, you should be thinking of them as owners of nearly 1% of the world’s bitcoin, as well as a legitimate trading exchange named Gemini.

These American brothers brought Gemini to the world in 2015, and they used a very different approach to building a cryptocurrency company. Based in New York, they took a route that most others were desperately trying to avoid: regulation. Before launching the exchange, it became a fully compliant and fully registered enterprise, and it held the highest levels of both capital reserves and compliance to banking standards.

The ‘Winklevii’ continue to strive to build a world-class exchange of digital assets. Their underlying philosophy in the unruly cryptocurrency world is to always ask for permission, rather than beg for forgiveness.

It is clear that the company has designed itself to stay completely above-board every step of the way. Many now see it as one of the most—if not the most—legitimate trading platforms in the world.

Functionality

The Gemini platform is very nicely designed to enhance user confidence. I found it very simple to use.

While it is not packed with advanced features, it does provide a smooth, quick, responsive experience. The exchange chugs along nicely. Its balances, orders, and prices instantaneously change, so you’ll never lose your place. This feature is important to me in any exchange. In the past, I have been frustrated elsewhere by slow loading times and dippy connections.

Security-wise, it provides the functions you would expect, including two-factor authentication, which is a must in any financial account. The website explains security measures in a transparent manner, including cold-storage techniques and Amazon Web Services. This transparency is important to know about, especially if you are working with large transactions on a regular basis.

Supported Currency

• Bitcoin
• Ether
• US Dollar

Gemini’s supported currency is a showcase of an exchange that is building in a slow but strong manner. Since it is still primarily branded as a US bitcoin exchange, there is not a wide range of functionality for crypto- or fiat currency.

The introduction of ethereum trading may signal the slow rollout of other strong currencies in the future.

US dollars continue to be the only fiat currency for deposits, withdrawals, and trading. Although the exchange is opening up to more countries, Americans will find it particularly helpful, as far as making trustworthy bank deposits and withdrawals.

A big bonus for Gemini is the ability to trade real dollars. Some exchanges, such as Bitfinex, don’t have direct BTC-to-USD trading, so you have to use Tether’s ‘USDT’ instead. Gemini takes the further step of pegging your trades to real currency. That way, you can make a withdrawal without the need for Tether’s cryptocurrency.

At first glance, Gemini’s fees appear to be a little complicated, but you can get the full rundown here.

The headlines say that most people are looking at a 0.25% maker fee, as well as a 0.25% taker fee. (That’s roughly the industry standard.) These fees are reduced when you hit certain volume trades. The maker fee is discounted to 0% for certain volumes, and the taker fee will reduce it to 0.15% after 10,000 bitcoin. (So if you’re buying an expensive ‘bitcoin pizza,’ take this information into consideration.)

The no-fee deposits and withdrawals provide a welcome addition to the service. Sometimes, it’s a real kick in the teeth when you find a sneaky withdraw fee tagged on.

Customer Support

Gemini customer support is relatively generic for a bitcoin exchange. There is an in-depth FAQ that answers most burning questions.

Specific inquiries are dealt with via email. I read about the quick response times of the customer service team, so I sent an inquiry to check it out myself. I received a reply within a couple of hours, which is really pleasing. With other platforms, I’m usually left waiting for 2 or 3 days.

It would be nice to be able to call a representative, but phone support still eludes the Bitcoin industry (aside from Coinbase’s recent attempts). For most exchanges, there are teething problems in customer support, as they struggle to expand and keep up with rapid demand.

Public Opinion / Online Reviews

It is interesting to examine the public take on the Gemini exchange. Few user reviews exist, and there’s certainly not a flood of condemnation. The user base doesn’t match the likes of Bitstamp or Bittrex yet.

The well-known names behind the project really do give it an air of authenticity. For one reason or another, far too many owners of crypto companies shield their identity. It’s a big turnoff to me as a consumer. Since the Winklevii have very publicaly pushed the business and built regulations, they’ve won people’s trust. Most exchange users see Gemini as the most legit platform.

Conclusion: Is Gemini a Good Exchange?

Gemini is a solid exchange with a trustworthy backing from the public. Moving money into Bitcoin markets helps strengthen the exchange, which has only been fully operational since 2016.

However, I would personally like to see more supported currency. With Gemini, there is no range of altcoins to trade, which is going to put a lot of regular traders off.

But if you are looking for a place to trade bitcoin and ether with confidence, then you will not go wrong by using Gemini.

All about Gemini, the Winklevoss Bitcoin Exchange

Gemini is a private, licensed digital asset exchange that also offers custodian services for digital holdings. It was launched in 2015 in the United States by the Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler, and has now expanded its operations to Europe and Asia. (For more, see Winklevoss Interview: Bitcoin Payment System Worth $400 Billion.) They already offer Bitcoin and Ether Trading; commencing May 19, 2018, they are set to also offer trading in Zcash. Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash are reportedly also expected to be approved. Zcash is considered a "privacy coin" and touts itself as "the first open, permissionless cryptocurrency that can fully protect the privacy of transactions using zero-knowledge cryptography."

What Is Gemini?

Competing directly against other leading cryptocurrency exchanges like Kraken and Coinbase, Gemini allows its users to buy, sell, and store primary cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin and ether, and exchange them against one another and for fiat currencies. (See also, What Is Kraken?)

The Latin word "Gemini" stands for twins, and indicates duality. The Gemini platform is conceptualized to marry both forms of money – new-age cryptocurrencies and the old, existing fiat currencies – which are expected to be used interchangeably in the future with the growing adoption of virtual currencies.

Crypto bulls the Winklevoss twins have thus far not received SEC approval for their bitcoin ETF, but they have managed to carve a niche for themselves in the cryptocurrency transactions space. (For more, see SEC Blocks Bitcoin ETFs Again; Rejected Winklevoss Bid In 2017.)

Working on the core principles of security, liquidity, and trust, Gemini offers its retail and institutional customers a platform to buy, sell, and store two of the most popular digital currencies, bitcoin and ether, in a regulated and secure environment.

The Gemini marketplace offers trading between BTC/USD, ETC/USD, and ETF/BTC. Barring the advanced notified short-term maintenance windows, the exchange operates on a 24/7 basis.

No Margin or Short Trading Allowed

All orders sent on Gemini have to be fully funded, as the exchange currently does not offer margin trading like that offered by competitor like Kraken. It also does not allow short trading.

Along with the standard market order that gets immediately filled at the best available market price at that particular instant, Gemini offers a variety of limit orders where a trader can choose to get his trade executed in a way that's best matched to his needs. They include the standard limit order, Immediate-or-Cancel (IOC), Maker-or-Cancel (MOC), and Auction-Only (AO) limit orders.

At present, purchases using a credit card, debit card, cash, or check are not available. A customer needs to link a bank account and initiate a wire transfer or an ACH deposit from a local U.S. or an international bank for trading requirements.

One can transfer bitcoin and ether tokens from his respective cryptocurrency wallet to his/her Gemini account, and vice-versa. To deposit the cryptocoins into their Gemini account, a customer needs to generate exclusive deposit addresses on the Gemini platform and then initiate the transfer from their wallet to the generated address.

First-of-a-kind Custodian Service

Along with being a standard virtual currency exchange, Gemini also offers custodian services to its clients.

It was licensed by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) to hold a customer’s digital assets in trust on behalf of the customer. That is, your digital currency holdings are held to specified capital reserve requirements and banking compliance standards. Gemini is also obligated to maintain and fulfill required cybersecurity measures.

Gemini has a banking relationship with a New York State-chartered bank, where all customer funds are retained. Adherence to such requirements acts like a insurance of one’s funds and cryptocurrency holdings, and ensures that they are backed by adequate monetary reserves.

While individual customers are given the default, zero-fee, depository account type, large institutional customers can opt for a segregated custody account type which offers an offline, secure, and auditable storage called Gemini’s proprietary Cold Storage system. The latter service is chargeable, and is ideal for institutional customers like mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and hedge funds.

The Road So Far

Launched in January 2015, the exchange went live for customers in the United States in October 2015.

By June 2016, it started operations in Canada, enabling ETH/BTC trading for Canadian customers. Two weeks later, it opened its doors for U.K. customers, marking its entry in Europe.

In September 2016, Gemini introduced the first-ever daily bitcoin auction, a method popularly followed in all modern stock exchanges but was the first for a cryptocurrency exchange. Daily ether auctions were launched in July 2017.

Between October and November of 2016, Gemini further expanded to Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Japan to cater to the skyrocketing population of Asian cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

In December 2017, Gemini partnered with the CBOE which launched the first-ever cash-settled bitcoin futures contract whose prices are based on Gemini’s auction price for bitcoin, denominated in U.S. dollars.

Recent Challenges

As with any standard marketplace or security exchange, Gemini has had its fair share of challenges along its two-year journey. Some were due to developments in the cryptocurrency world like hard forks and high price volatility, while others were due to Gemini’s infrastructure and platform performance.

Following the Ethereum hard fork in July 2016, the exchange ran into issues and had to temporarily disable all ether deposits and withdrawals. (See also: An Introduction to Ethereum Classic.)

Preventive measures were taken, but similar issues occurred during the bitcoin hard fork of bitcoin cash in August 2017. During the same month, Gemini’s production environment, which was set on Amazon Web Services (AWS), exceeded the allotted resource quota, and hit trading snags for many hours over a couple of days. The problem was resolved after Gemini opted for more web resources to address such issues.

In November 2017, due to an unprecedented increase in traffic amid surging bitcoin prices, customers lost access to Gemini’s Web and API interfaces for a number of hours.

Another issue erupted in December 2017, when Gemini had to extend its earlier announced maintenance window by several hours amid high volatility in bitcoin prices that shed $1,500 during the downtime, drawing customer ire.

The Bottom Line

With the recent successful settlement of the first-ever Bitcoin Futures (January series) at a price of $10,900.00 as determined by Gemini’s 4 p.m. Eastern Time BTC/USD auction, Gemini continues to surge ahead in the cryptocurrency transaction marketplace.

Gemini’s current offerings allow only among bitcoin, ether and USD pairs, and with limited trading options without any short selling or margin trading. However, customers can look forward to a secure and regulated trading environment as the firm's operations and holdings adhere to necessary regulatory standards.

Going forward, Gemini may need to expand its product offerings and look for expansion options around the world as it competes against established players like Kraken and Coinbase. (For more, see Tyler Winklevoss: Bitcoin Is Gold, Ether Is Oil, Litecoin Is a Testnet.)

Gemini to Roll Out Bitcoin and Ether Block Trading

Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini said Monday that it will roll out block trading for bitcoin and ether starting later this week.

The feature – which will allow customers to make high-volume trades that won't appear in the exchange's order book until they've been filled – will go live at 9:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, Gemini explained in a blog post. There's a minimum threshold of 10 bitcoin or 100 ether for the block trades, meaning that smaller traders won't be able to use the feature.

Gemini has positioned the block trading addition as a way to create "an additional mechanism to source liquidity when trading in greater size."

Block trading allows large traders such as hedge funds to buy or sell large quantities without having large immediate effects on the price. The alternative is to place over-the-counter trades, which happen outside of exchanges, or to split trades up into smaller chunks in order to minimize the impact to supply and demand.

Market takers – who place the orders – specify whether the trade is a buy or sell; the minimum quantity; and a price limit. This information, called an indication of interest, is broadcast to all market makers simultaneously.

"In accordance with our commitment to an equitable, transparent, and rules-based marketplace, block orders will be electronically broadcast to participating market makers simultaneously, ensuring best execution and price discovery for those participating in the program," the exchange explained in its blog post.

Gemini, founded by investors Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, had indicated last month that the exchange may move to add additional cryptocurrencies for trading in the future. Potential selections include bitcoin cash and litecoin, as reported at the time.

Gemini Exchange to Add Zcash, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin

Gemini Exchange to Add Zcash, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin

The Gemini exchange has announced that it will soon be adding support for three new cryptocurrencies. The Winklevoss twin’s trading platform will begin accepting deposits in Zcash on May 19 with the same being extended to Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, at a later, undisclosed date.

Gemini to be the First Fully Licensed Exchange Offering Zcash

The inclusion of Zcash to the platform has been approved by the New York Department of Financial Services. This makes it the first regulated exchange that will allow the trading of the privacy-focused cryptocurrency. According to a report in Forbes, the first day that Gemini users will be able to buy and sell Zcash will be May 22.

One half of the founding team behind the Gemini exchange, Cameron Winklevoss, wrote in a letter that the inclusion of new cryptos was the result of close collaboration with the NYDFS. In his own words:

“Our approval makes Gemini the first licensed Zcash exchange in the world. It also makes the NYDFS the first regulatory agency in the world to supervise Zcash.”

Also during the letter, Winklevoss acknowledged Zcash’s privacy features. He claimed that these were some of the reasons behind the coin’s appeal. To achieve such anonymity Zcash uses a combination of unshielded and shielded addresses. Initially, Gemini will allow deposits from both forms of addresses but only unshielded withdrawals will be permitted. This will keep the offering compliant with regulations. Cameron did state that they planned to offer support for shielded withdrawals too:

“We are working to support withdrawals to shielded addresses in the future.”

As well as adding support for Zcash, it was announced earlier today that Gemini would also include Litecoin, Ethereum Classic, and Bitcoin Cash. Since all these new additions are forks of either Bitcoin or Ethereum, it should not be difficult from a technical standpoint to integrate them to the platform whilst maintaining the level of security the Gemini exchange prides itself on. Winklevoss actually refers to Bitcoin Cash, Zcash, and Litecoin as being part of the ‘Nakamoto Family Tree’ thanks to their origins stemming from the original Bitcoin code base.

The last time we reported on either of the Winklevoss twins it was in relation to Cameron’s brother Tyler who put out a rather amusing tweet aimed at Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The billionaire had just appeared alongside Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet in a completely one-sided interview for CNBC’s ‘Squawk Box’ segment. During the chat, Gates stated that if there was a way to short Bitcoin, he would do that. Tyler quickly took to Twitter to remind Gates that he could indeed bet on the price of Bitcoin declining by using the Cboe’s Bitcoin futures contracts for which the Gemini exchange’s price is used for settlement purposes.

Dear @BillGates there is an easy way to short bitcoin. You can short #XBT, the @CBOE Bitcoin (USD) Futures contract, and put your money where your mouth is! cc @CNBC @WarrenBuffett https://t.co/4JIhF5vWsZ

My Experience with Signing up on Gemini For Buying Bitcoin

My experience signing up for Gemini

A couple months ago, Harsh recommended I sign up for Gemini. I took his advice and decided to go through the process. But after having a very difficult time signing up, I’m not having good feelings about Gemini.

Before I tell you about my signup process, let me give you a brief history on Gemini.

Gemini is a new Bitcoin trading platform started by the Winklevoss twins (the people who accused Mark Zuckerberg of stealing their idea of Facebook).

The Winklevoss twins claim to own about 1% of all Bitcoin, making them among the largest holders of Bitcoin in the world. They started this platform in the middle of 2016, and are desperately trying to become the most active and reputable Bitcoin exchange on the market.

But you wouldn’t know any of this unless I told you. Because there’s nothing about any of that on their website. In fact, their “About” section is not descriptive at all, and it simply talks about the amazingness of their platform. It’s a very big put off to not know anything about the company which I am about to share my sensitive personal and financial details with.

This cryptic website does not look very friendly in any way. It conjures up images of outer space (and the Gemini space program) leaving me with a feeling of entering the deep, dark unknown. That’s not exactly what I’m looking for when I’m about to make a substantial monetary investment.

So that said, because Harsh told me to sign up, I did. Here’s what happened:

Signing Up For Gemini

I went to Gemini.com and clicked on “Register”.

First, notice on the top left of this screenshot how the words are overlapping. It doesn’t fill me with great confidence that their design team can’t properly build a website, yet they’re supposed to be the most advanced and trustworthy BTC trading platform out there. (Update: This has since been fixed.)

All these mentions of “trust” make me a little suspicious…

Anyway, I filled out my name, email, and created a password.

Got an email and entered the activation code. I hesitantly filled out my personal information.

And I definitely skipped adding my bank account info (for now at least).

Now, my situation is unique. I am living in a place that does not get mail service. I have a P.O. Box as my mailing address. I am not paying utilities. I can not use a bank statement to verify my physical address because the bank only has my mailing address. So I emailed customer support.

I said I can show them a voided check from my bank, but aside from that, I was unable to verify my address. After around 12 back and forth messages with the [email protected] email, the unknown agent told me they couldn’t verify my identity. The agent was curt, unhelpful, and a little rude. They were, however, rather quick.

At the same time, I had to go to the DMV to renew my driver’s license. I got to the DMV and a customer service agent there very graciously and helpfully walked me through everything that could be done. We outlined several possibilities, but eventually, I was unable to get a driver’s license as well, though the DMV agent suggested I go across the street, open a bank account, and come back with a bank statement for my physical address. What a great idea!

Well, that worked. I’m not sure why that worked because I just told the bank my address and they didn’t need any proof. That’s dumb, but whatever…

So now I went to back to email Gemini with my bank statement. Note: At the time of writing, Gemini has updated their verification process to include bank statements. When I was doing this, Gemini would not allow bank statements as proof of verification. I had to plead with this anonymous Gemini support person to let them accept it. They did, and I became “verified”.

For a company that requires you to prove your identity to the extent that Gemini does, they sure do like hiding any shred of their own humanity. For instance, why is there no mention of who is running the platform? Why did I have to prove myself worthy to someone hiding behind an anonymous Gemini support

For instance, why is there no mention of who is running the platform? Why did I have to prove myself worthy to someone hiding behind an anonymous Gemini support email address? The hypocrisies here don’t make me want to engage with this company.

The lack of accountability and the unintuitive platform make me want to stay far away from ever engaging with Gemini.

Gemini does not give me a good feeling.

It would be nice if we as consumers got together and demanded some transparency and respect from our online services. But I suppose that’s another fight for another day…

UPDATE: I have since used the platform and found it to be quite speedy and effective. It took me a while to be comfortable enough giving them my bank account info, but after doing so, it turned out to be OK, and I have only had good interactions with them. However, I am still bothered by their arrogance and secrecy. There are plenty of other exchanges out there that don’t make me feel as irritated as Gemini.

But I want to hear from you. What have been your experiences with Gemini? Have you traded with them before? Did you have trouble signing up and getting verified? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Gemini Bitcoin Exchange Review

Aiming to provide a sturdy and reliable bridge to the future of money – according to its own slogan – Gemini (gemini.com) is a New York-based crypto currency exchange launched in October 2015, by the Winklevoss twins of Winklevoss Capital Management LLC. The company behind the exchange is Gemini Trust Company LLC, and Tyler Winklevoss is its CEO. Having been involved in various Bitcoin-related investments for years, the Winklevoss twins saw it fit to err on the side of caution this time, pushing their startup through a series of regulatory hoops, earning a license as a New York State Limited Liability Trust instead of operating under Bitlicence. This way, the exchange can serve corporate as well as retail clients.

Gemini currently has offices in most of the US states, in Canada, as well as in the UK, in London. The current address of the Gemini Trust Company headquarters is 600 Third Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10016. They can be contacted via toll-free phone at +1(866)240-5113.

Open 24/7, the exchange features three currency-pairs: BTC/USD, ETH/USD and BTC/ETH.

Trading Platforms

Gemini runs on three distinct order-matching engines, one for each of the above said currency pairs. Every trade executed through the Gemini marketplace is reported both to the public and the customer through the market data API. Gemini is a full-reserve exchange meaning that all trades hosted by its platforms are pre-funded. Gemini also features public and private REST APIs for which full documentation is available at gemini.com. Amazon Web Services acts as the host of the hot wallet of the operation, while cold-storage tasks are fulfilled by state-of-the-art systems.

Account Types

All Gemini Customers trade from pre-funded accounts. Personal accounts are the default ones. Institutional traders have to go through a separate registration process.

Commissions and Fees

The current deposit and withdrawal fees are 0, and there is an 0.25% trading fee taken of both sides of a trade. There’s a dynamic fee schedule across all three order matching engines. Liquidity-making trades can generate rebates of up to 0.15%, while liquidity-taking trades incur a fee of 0.15%.

Regulation

Gemini Trust Company LLC operates in full compliance with the New York Banking Law and its activity is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. As a fiduciary, it can work with retail- as well as institutional customers. The company has an account with FinCEN too, though it isn’t required by law to register with the authority.

Customer Support

Customer support is apparently one of the more maligned aspects of the operation. Gemini support can only be reached through a Zendesk-powered email form. The Help Center provides an FAQ section too.

Payment Methods

Gemini accepts deposits and honors withdrawals through Bitcoin, Ether, Wire Transfer and ACH. In all cases, no fees are associated with the operations.

Conclusion

With well-known celebrity investors in its background, Gemini is a genuine US-based and fully regulated crypto currency exchange, that has thus far done its work without significant hiccups. Admittedly however we could not find a lot of testimonials and reviews from Gemini customers. This most likely indicates that Gemini a trustworthy bitcoin exchange, otherwise we would surely find some bad reviews.

Question on a link

In the search for Anaïs Nin, one of the first few links shows a picture of a man. Why? Since Nin is a woman, I can’t figure out why. Can you show some reason for this? Who is he? If you click on the picture a group of pictures of Nin and no mention of that man. Is it an error?

Repair the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo Search App from the Google Play Store on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ phone stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I went to the Yahoo Troubleshooting page but the article that said to do a certain 8 steps to fix the problem with Yahoo Services not working and how to fix the problem. Of course they didn't work.

I contacted Samsung thru their Samsung Tutor app on my phone. I gave their Technican access to my phone to see if there was a problem with my phone that stopped the Yahoo Search App from working. He went to Yahoo and I signed in so he could try to fix the Yahoo Search App not working. He also used another phone, installed the app from the Google Play Store to see if the app would do any kind of search thru the app. The Yahoo Search App just wasn't working.

I also had At&t try to help me because I have UVERSE for my internet service. My internet was working perfectly. Their Technical Support team member checked the Yahoo Search App and it wouldn't work for him either.

We can go to www.yahoo.com and search for any topic or website. It's just the Yahoo Search App that won't allow anyone to do web searches at all.

I let Google know that the Yahoo Search App installed from their Google Play Store had completely stopped working on May 18, 2018.

I told them that Yahoo has made sure that their Yahoo members can't contact them about anything.

I noticed that right after I accepted the agreement that said Oath had joined with Verizon I started having the problem with the Yahoo Search App.
No matter what I search for or website thru the Yahoo Search App it says the following after I searched for
www.att.com.

WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE

net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

I tried to search for things like www.homedepot.com. The same thing happened. It would say WEBPAGE NOT AVAILABLE. The only thing that changed were all the upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
Then it would again say
could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

This is the same thing that happened when Samsung and At&t tried to do any kind of searches thru the Yahoo Search App.

Yahoo needs to fix the problem with their app.
