Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Gemini is a cryptocurrency exchange platform that's known for offering excellent security as well as being available across the US, including in New York - a state not often covered by crypto exchanges.

As a trading platform, Gemini is one of many, but a dedication to innovation and a commitment to working within FCA regulations are what make it stand out from the crowd. After acquiring Blockrize in 2021, the company launched a credit card for US customers that enables them to earn a small percentage of spending back in bitcoin rewards. They also launched the Gemini dollar, a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, that combines the price stability of the US dollar with the technological advantages of a cryptocurrency.

The crypto exchange market is crowded with exchange platforms, and Gemini's competitors include giants like Coinbase. However, by operating within regulations and with the recent announcement of its official registration as a digital asset service provider in Europe (where it serves more than a dozen countries), Gemini is in a strong position to face the continued crackdown on unauthorized activity in this market and make a space for itself in the DeFi future.
