Gemini’s New Adventure Down Under
In a bold move to expand its footprint, the Winklevoss twins’ renowned crypto exchange, Gemini, is now making its services available in Australia. This change means Aussie residents can finally join the crypto party, and let’s be honest, it’s about time they had a seat at the table!
The Gemini App: Your New Crypto Companion
Aussies can now download the Gemini app on both iOS and Android platforms, allowing them to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrencies with just a few taps on their phone screens. Just think, while lounging at Bondi Beach, you can now trade Bitcoin! But don’t forget your sunscreen; crypto profits won’t protect you from sunburn.
Supported Cryptocurrencies
As of now, the list of cryptocurrencies offered by Gemini includes:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ether (ETH)
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- Zcash (ZEC)
So, while you won’t be able to get the local stablecoin, the Gemini dollar (GUSD), down under, at least there’s still a strong lineup of popular digital coins ready to trade!
Gemini’s Global Footprint
The expansion to Australia is just another feather in Gemini’s cap. Currently, the exchange services a whopping 49 states and Washington D.C. in the U.S., plus locations like Puerto Rico, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and the U.K. In essence, they’re looking to make crypto as common as kangaroos in Australia.
Multi-Million Dollar Twins
Milestone discussions continue with reports that founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are considering joining forces with Facebook’s cryptocurrency initiative, Libra. Cameron has been quite vocal, expressing his enthusiasm for the project, noting that it represents a significant step toward making crypto mainstream. One can’t help but wonder if he envisions a world where people walk their dogs while trading Ethereum.
Gemini’s Background and Security Measures
Founded in 2014, Gemini claims to be the first licensed Ether exchange globally. They’re not just cracking down on crypto; they’re a trust company regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. In a bid to boost security, they’ve recently appointed cybersecurity specialist David Damato as Chief Security Officer. So rest assured, your digital assets are guarded better than your grandma’s secret cookie recipe!
A Growing Enterprise
Based on CoinMarketCap data, Gemini sits as the 81st-largest cryptocurrency exchange with a trading volume exceeding $35.8 million over the past 24 hours. Not too shabby! With their growing presence in Australia, they’re clearly gearing up for more crypto action.
