Is Gemini Off to a Rocky Start?

The Winklevoss Twins always have something going on. With their New-York based bitcoin exchange Gemini (which debuted earlier this month on October 8th), publicity has practically marched into their laps. It was amongst the first of only a small handful of bitcoin companies to earn approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) following the integration of the long-dreaded BitLicense, first brought to light through the actions of former Big Apple Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky. Cameron and Tyler have also revealed plans to take Gemini further by making it a national....

Gemini Exchange Fails to Achieve High Trading Rates

The Gemini Exchange in New York has taken a rocky path over the years.

Gemini Bitcoin Exchange Enters Canadian Market

What makes Canada so appealing for exchange platform operators is how there is no specific regulation in the country.

Until earlier today, that is, as the company announced it will expand its business to Canada. Further international expansion is planned as well.
