Today marks the one-year anniversary of Gemini Block Trading™, a fully electronic block trading facility. Block trading enables our customers to buy and sell large quantities of digital assets outside of Gemini’s continuous order books, creating an additional on-exchange mechanism to source liquidity when trading in greater size.

Gemini customers have executed over $100mm (notional) of orders via Gemini Block Trading™, since its launch. This has not only been a great trading mechanism for institutional customers, but also for our individual customers who make up more than 85 percent of all block trading customers.

This is a great milestone as we **_build the future of money_**. We look forward to the many milestones to come in the years ahead!

Onward and Upward,

Team Gemini

Gemini Block Trading: One-Year Lookback

We are pleased to announce that __Gemini users in the UK and U.S. can now trade Gemini dollar (GUSD) with British Pounds (GBP)__, joining the U.S. dollar (USD) and Singapore dollar (SGD).

Gemini dollar is a stablecoin built on the Ethereum network and is backed 1:1 by fiat and cash equivalents. Launching the GUSD/GBP trading pair is an important step in expanding the accessibility of crypto globally, making our stablecoin available to UK customers in their local currency. 

GUSD/GBP pairs are available on the Gemini Mobile App and website, and on our ActiveTrader and API/FIX applications.

[Across the crypto ecosystem](https://www.gemini.com/blog/gemini-dollar-surpasses-usd100m-market-cap-as-defi-soars), Gemini dollar serves as a bridge between fiat currency and DeFi, and is actively used to trade and stake on decentralized exchanges, in DeFi lending protocols, and more. 

All reserves backing GUSD are held in accounts with State Street Bank and Trust, Signature Bank, and Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Every month, the reserve balance is examined by BPM LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to verify GUSD’s 1:1 backing, with BPM’s monthly attestations [posted](https://www.gemini.com/dollar#reports) for review on our website. GUSD is issued by Gemini Trust Company, LLC, a New York trust company regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services.

Onward and Upward!

[__Orca (ORCA)__](https://www.gemini.com/prices/orca)

Orca is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Solana blockchain. Orca offers swaps, liquidity pool rewards, and yield farming. One of Orca’s notable features is its fair price indicator, which checks whether the quoted price for a given trade is within 1% of the current market rate on CoinGecko and whether slippage is less than 1%. If either of those checks are triggered, the user receives a rate or slippage warning and is prompted to reconfirm or cancel the trade. ORCA is an SPL token compliant with the Solana network. ORCA is used for liquidity pools and governance. Users can earn ORCA and a share of swap fees by providing liquidity.

[__Goldfinch (GFI)__](https://www.gemini.com/prices/goldfinch)

Goldfinch is a decentralized lending protocol that facilitates crypto loans without requiring crypto collateral, with a focus on lending to businesses in emerging markets. Goldfinch extends credit lines to businesses that can then use those credit lines to withdraw USDC, and exchange it for fiat. Prospective borrowers stake Goldfinch (GFI), and auditors manually review if the borrowers are credible enough to be allocated a loan. GFI is an ERC-20 utility token compliant with the Ethereum network. GFI is used for governance and is distributed as rewards to users who interact with the platform. Users can receive tokens by lending USDC to a borrower loan pool or by becoming an auditor. 

With support for Orca (ORCA) and Goldfinch (GFI) we are excited to continue expanding the range of tokens available on Gemini.
