Introducing Gemini Foundation — A Non-US Crypto Derivatives Platform

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Gemini Foundation — a non-US crypto derivatives platform. Our first derivatives contract will be a BTC perpetual contract denominated in Gemini dollars (GUSD). An ETH/GUSD perpetual contract will launch soon thereafter.

Gemini Foundation will allow eligible customers to leverage their crypto assets to achieve long or short crypto exposure in order to manage risk, generate returns, and gain directional exposure. Eligible customers will be able to trade both spot and derivatives products and execute all of their trading strategies within a secure and trusted platform.

Sign up here for priority access and to be notified when Gemini Foundation is available for you.

Gemini Foundation’s derivatives product is available in select jurisdictions globally. It will not be available to customers in the United States of America.
