Fee Examples

Mobile Instant Order Buy Example – Alice wants to buy $100 of BTC with USD. The prevailing Gemini market price of BTC is $4000 USD. On her mobile application, Alice is provided a Quoted Price of $4020 USD to buy 1 BTC. This represents the Gemini market price of $4000 USD, plus the 0.50% Convenience Fee (Gemini market price × 1.005). When Alice enters her buy Mobile Instant Order for $100 USD, the Transaction Fee of $2.99 USD is displayed on her mobile application along with the total BTC amount of 0.02413184 (($100 USD -$2.99 USD)/$4020 USD = 0.02413184 BTC) that she will receive for her buy Mobile Instant Order. Alice swipes up on her mobile application to place her Mobile Instant Order to buy 0.02413184 BTC for $100 USD. Fees are only incurred when her Mobile Instant Order is executed.

Mobile Instant Order Sell Example – Arthik wants to sell 0.03 BTC for USD. On his mobile application, Arthik is provided a Quoted Price of $3980 USD to sell 1 BTC. This represents the prevailing Gemini market price of $4000 USD, minus the 0.50% Convenience Fee (Gemini market price × 0.995). When Bob enters his sell Mobile Instant Order for 0.03 BTC, the Transaction Fee of $2.99 USD is displayed on his mobile application along with the total proceeds amount of $116.41 USD ((0.03 * $3980) – $2.99 USD = $116.41 USD) that he will receive for his sell Mobile Instant Order. Arthik swipes up on his mobile application to place his Mobile Instant Order to sell 0.03 BTC and receives $116.41 USD. Fees are only incurred when his Mobile Instant Order is executed.

Transaction and Convenience Fee Denominations

Transaction and convenience fees are charged in the transaction fiat currency. Example: When you purchase BTC with USD, your fees will be charged in USD.

Mobile Limit Order Fee schedule (From May 21, 2024)

This fee schedule will take effect from May 21, 2024

Limit orders will be subject to the maker and taker fee schedule.

Maker & Taker Fee Schedule

Gemini utilizes a maker-taker fee model for determining trading fees for all Orders. Liquidity-making Orders are charged different fees than liquidity-taking Orders. If you place an Order that is filled immediately, this Order takes liquidity from the marketplace and, therefore, you are considered a taker and will be charged a taker fee. If you place an Order that is not filled immediately, but instead rests on the order book, your Order adds liquidity to the marketplace and, therefore, you are considered a maker and will be charged a maker fee.

Your Order could be subject to both maker and taker fees. If you place an Order that is partially filled immediately, you will be charged a taker fee on the filled portion. The remainder of your Order will rest on the order book and will be charged a maker fee when it is filled.

Order Variations

Order Type	Definition
Limit Order	Filled at or better than a specified price. Any quantity that is not filled rests on the continuous order book until it is filled or canceled.
Limit: Immediate-or- Cancel (IOC)	Filled immediately at or better than a specified price. Any quantity that is not filled immediately is canceled and does not rest on the continuous order book.
Limit: Fill-Or-Kill (FOK)	Filled immediately at or better than a specified price. If the order cannot be filled in full immediately, the entire quantity is canceled. The order does not rest on the continuous order book.
Limit: Maker-or-Cancel (MOC)	Rests on the continuous order book at a specified price. If any quantity can be filled immediately, the entire order is canceled.
Stop-Limit	Places a Limit order when a Last Trade Price crosses the Stop Price of the order.

The following rates apply to Limit orders, Limit: Immediate-or- Cancel (IOC),Limit: Fill-Or-Kill (FOK),Limit: Maker-or-Cancel (MOC),Stop-Limit .

Fee Schedule

Your fee rate for every trading pair is determined by your gross trading volume in notional USD across all of Gemini’s continuous order books over a 30-calendar-day trailing window. Your fee rate will be recalculated every day at midnight UTC (7pm EST / 8pm EDT) and applied to all Orders going forward from that time.

30-DAY TRADING VOLUME IN (USD NOTIONAL)	TAKER FEE	MAKER FEE
0	0.40%	0.20%
≥ $10,000	0.30%	0.10%
≥ $50,000	0.25%	0.10%
≥ $100,000	0.20%	0.08%
≥ $1,000,000	0.15%	0.05%
≥ $5,000,000	0.10%	0.03%
≥ $10,000,000	0.08%	0.02%
≥ $50,000,000	0.05%	0.00%
≥ $100,000,000	0.04%	0.00%
≥ $500,000,000	0.03%	0.00%

Fee Calculation

We calculate fees as a fraction of the notional value of each trade (i.e., price × amount). Depending on the Order type, fees will be either deducted from the gross proceeds of a trade or charged to the account at the time a trade is executed. Any fees will be applied at the time an Order is placed. For partially filled Orders, only the executed portion is subject to trading fees.

Fee Denominations

Fees are charged in quote currency, or the second currency in the pair. Example: The transaction fee for BTC/USD will be charged in USD. Additionally, the transaction fee for ETH/BTC will be charged in BTC.

Fee Calculation Examples

Sell Orders – Fees for limit sell Orders are deducted from the proceeds of the resulting trade.

Example: Evelyn enters a limit sell Order of 10 BTC with a limit price of $100 that fills as a maker at an average price of $101 per BTC. Her fees paid are as follows:

ACTION	SELL
Order Type	Limit
Amount	10 BTC
Fill Price	$101
Fee	0.25%
Fee Paid	$2.525
Gross Sale Proceeds	$1,010
Net Sale Proceeds	$1007.4750¹

Buy Orders – Fees for limit buy Orders are added to the purchase price as the Order fills.

Example: Reema enters a limit buy Order for $1,000 of BTC with a limit price of $101 that fills as a maker at an average price of $100 per BTC. Her fees paid are as follows:

ACTION	BUY
Order Type	Limit
Amount	10 BTC
Fill Price	$101
Fee	0.25%
Fee Paid	$2.525
Gross Sale Proceeds	$1,010
Net Sale Proceeds	$1007.4750¹

CRYPTO CONVERT	TRANSACTION FEE - PRICE ASSET**
Wrap FIL to EFIL	0.25%
Unwrap EFIL to FIL	0.50%
All other crypto conversions	1.49%

**For Crypto Convert, the price asset is either BTC, ETH, or GUSD depending on the particular order book. For example, when converting between ETH and BTC, 1.49% of the amount converted in BTC; or when converting between ETH and ZEC, 1.49% of the converted amount in ETH.

The Convenience Fee is calculated at a rate of 0.50% (or 50 basis points) above the prevailing Gemini market price for a given trading pair at the time we provide you the Quoted Price. Your actual Convenience Fee may be greater or lower than 0.50% due to price movement in the market between the time we provide you the Quoted Price and the time your Mobile Order is filled; however, this will not affect the price you pay.
