Gemini Crypto Exchange Reveals Bitcoin “Vault” To Custody Assets 

Gemini crypto exchange had a great year, and back in February, their efforts have been recognized.

This was really important because Forbes is one of the most important business names in the world and getting listed in the magazine is quite an accomplishment.

The crypto exchange launches Gemini Custody

Now, the crypto exchange based In NYC is launching the Gemini Custody, which is a qualified custodian for cryptos that handles complex requirements of large financial institutions.

Gemini’s managing director of operations Jeanine Hightower-Sellitto said the following:

“At the end of the day, to simplify things, it’s sort of like putting your assets in a vault. You want to make sure when you want your assets, they’ll be there.”

Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss stated that “The maturation of crypto as an asset class depends heavily on the safety and soundness of the custodians that hold individual and institutional funds.”

Gemini Custody is supporting 18 cryptos
