Gemini Launches New Mobile App for Crypto Traders

Crypto exchange Gemini has just launched a mobile wallet for its users.

Gemini CEO and co-founder Tyler Winklevoss wrote in a Medium post on Tuesday that the new app allows customers to buy or sell cryptocurrencies, view market prices, see their own portfolio values and set price alerts, among other features geared toward traders.

The exchange is working to "build the future of money" through its licensed exchange and regulated custodian, Winklevoss wrote, ensuring that customers can entrust their holdings to a compliant platform.

"A trusted and regulated platform, however, is just the beginning. The future of money is both digital and mobile, and now Gemini is too with the launch of the Gemini Mobile App," he added.

As such, the app features Gemini's institutional-grade security, while remaining easy to use, he claimed.

Among the offerings is Gemini's basket, dubbed the Cryptoverse, which allows customers to simultaneously purchase all of the coins currently offered by the exchange – bitcoin, ether, bitcoin cash, zcash and litecoin – at once.

The coins are weighted by market capitalization, according to the post.

Gemini added bitcoin cash just days ago, after securing approval from the New York Department of Financial Services.

"We spent the last three years building the world’s most trusted cryptocurrency platform and today we are excited to extend it into your hands and allow you to engage with cryptocurrency wherever you are and whenever you want," Winklevoss wrote Tuesday.
