How to Trade on Gemini Exchange?

07 Oct 2015

If you are looking to get trading Bitcoin - one of the top exchanges to start on is Gemini Exchange - the digital asset exchange started by the Winklevoss twins. The exchange is a new breed of Bitcoin exchange that has top of the range security and impeccable regulatory and compliance procedures. 

A breath of fresh air in bringing a touch of wall street class & security to the innovative yet nascent Bitcoin arena.  

The first thing to do is to register with the exchange. At the present point in time though this is only available in 26 states and only in the United States. If you are not in a state served by the Company and not in the United States you cannot get access at this stage. 

If you are in the United States you need to enter your email address - after receiving their email with a registration token you will then have to enter it and then be asked to enter your phone number to set up two factor authentication - i.e. linking your phone to your account. A text message will then be sent through to you on your phone which you will have to enter into the interface.

Once you have set up your account and completed the two factor authentication it is possible for you to deposit Bitcoins for trading into USD or to deposit cash. Gemini Exchange charges no deposit fees or withdrawal fees but does charge trading fees at the standard rate of 0.25% on both sides of the transaction. You can see the method for depositing Bitcoin below which used a QR code to represent the address to which you are depositing the Bitcoins at Gemini.
