A little over a month ago we published [an announcement](https://gemini.com/blog/update-2-bitcoin-hard-fork-bitcoin-cash/) regarding our ongoing engineering efforts to allow withdrawal of bitcoin cash (BCH) for customers who had bitcoin balances at the time of the chain split.

We are pleased to announce that as of **Saturday**, **October 7, 2017**, Gemini will allow all customers to view their BCH balance and request a withdrawal via the [BCH withdrawal request page](https://exchange.gemini.com/withdraw/bch). If you choose to request a BCH withdrawal, your entire BCH balance will be transferred to your chosen withdrawal address.

BCH requests are not sent onto the blockchain immediately. The first time we will process all submitted BCH withdrawal requests will be Wednesday, October 11 at 1pm EDT. After that point, requests will be honored within 5 business days from the time of your request. _Example:_ If you request on Saturday, October 21, 2017, your transfer will be executed on or by Friday, October 27, 2017.

Although we do not currently have plans to open order books for BCH trading, we will continue to update our customers as the BCH situation evolves further.

Thank you for your patience and understanding throughout the implementation of this withdrawal feature. If you have any questions, please [contact us](https://support.gemini.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).

Onward and Upward!

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Withdrawals

We are thrilled to announce the launch of [Cryptopedia](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia), a free resource that provides open-access, high-quality crypto education to the world.

Our mission at Gemini is to empower the individual through crypto and we believe that journey begins with understanding. We know that the lack of comprehensive education around crypto is one of the main barriers to entry and adoption for consumers — which is where Cryptopedia can help.

Cryptopedia caters to all levels of knowledge and interest — from the crypto-curious to the crypto-native. You can get started with the [fundamentals of Bitcoin](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/story/begin-with-bitcoin), take a deep dive into the [hottest projects in DeFi](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/explore#de-fi), explore how [trading and investing concepts](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/explore#trading-investing) apply to cryptocurrency, or learn about [cybersecurity best practices](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/explore#security) to keep your crypto safe. 

Cryptopedia is also a platform for crypto experts to share their knowledge with the world. Founders and thought leaders from some of the most prominent and innovative crypto projects — such as Brave CEO Brendan Eich, Aave CEO Stani Kulechov, Tezos co-founder Kathleen Breitman, and many more — have joined our [Expert Network](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/authors). We plan on further collaboration with these experts and invite other crypto leaders, visionaries, and technologists to __join us by emailing cryptopediasupport@gemini.com__.

We hope Cryptopedia becomes your go-to resource for all things crypto. Happy reading!

Onward and Upward,

Cameron Winklevoss
<br>President

Gemini Launches Cryptopedia, A Free Crypto Education Platform

Today, we are excited to welcome Jeremy Ng as Gemini’s Head of Asia Pacific Region.

Jeremy will be responsible for shaping Gemini’s overall strategy in the region, developing products, and charting the course for operations. He will be based in Singapore and hire a team to build out our footprint there.

Jeremy joins us from Leonteq, which specializes in structured financial products, where he served as Asia CEO. Prior to his role at Leonteq, Jeremy worked at leading global investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley across Hong Kong and Singapore. 

Southeast Asia is a fast-growing and vibrant region in the global crypto movement and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has developed thoughtful regulation that is paving the way for further crypto adoption and innovation.

With Jeremy in place, Gemini intends to file its license under the newly formed Payment Services Act with the MAS as part of our global expansion strategy. 

Jeremy is the latest addition to an incredibly accomplished group of senior leaders who have joined Gemini over the past few years, including [Noah Perlman](https://gemini.com/blog/gemini-welcomes-noah-perlman-as-chief-compliance-officer) as Chief Operating Officer (formerly Chief Compliance Officer), [David Damato](https://gemini.com/blog/gemini-welcomes-david-damato-as-chief-security-officer) as Chief Security Officer, and [Sydney Schaub](https://gemini.com/blog/welcoming-our-general-counsel) as Chief Legal Officer (formerly General Counsel).

If you are interested in joining Jeremy and his team in Singapore, please stay tuned for openings on our careers page – we’re hiring!

Onward and Upward,

Cameron
