Any cryptocurrencies which are enlisted with the exchange can now be bought by the customers on the basis of Euros.
Similarly, investment in the shape of Euros will now be accepted at the Gemini trading platform. In addition, if a customer wishes to deposit the Euros, he can do so via SEPA or SWIFT transfers.
In the meanwhile, Gemini has also issued fresh currency pairs for Euro-Bitcoin and Euro-Ethereum. Both these pairs were earlier not available for forex trading at the trading platform. However, with the acceptance of the Euro as payment for buying and trading cryptocurrencies, fresh currency pairs have been issued.
Apart from Euro to crypto, the Gemini exchange also accepts GBP for crypto as well. This was done only a month ago because the exchange was granted a license for the same from the regulator. The GBP offer is also made available against all cryptocurrencies which are enlisted with the exchange.
