Gemini Review 2018 Gemini is the first U.S. exchange licensed for bitcoin and ether trading. And while several other exchanges fled New York regulation, Gemini embraced it. Today, they are a regulated trust company by the New York State Department of Financial Services, which will give them a significant advantage as U.S. regulators start to crack down on exchanges in the coming years. Overall, Gemini is easy to use, provides good customer support and fair fees. They currently offer a super limited variety of trading pairs but there's decent liquidity for those pairs. Gemini delivers on their promise of security, liquidity, and trust.
