Gemini, a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, has announced that Australian customers can now use the exchange’s services.

Launching Gemini for Australian Customers

According to Coindesk, Gemini announced on August 21st, 2019 that customers in Australia would be able to access its cryptocurrency exchange services. Gemini offers five cryptocurrencies for trading: Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Zcash (ZEC). 

The exchange added that its iOS and Android application will be made available in this new market.

Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini co-founder and CEO, revealed that the exchange is focused on building its “Crypto Needs Rules” brand to the down under. He stated:

“We are thrilled to continue expanding our global footprint and give Aussies a safe and trustworthy cryptocurrency experience. We founded Gemini to build trust in this nascent technology and we look forward to building that trust in Australia.” 

Expanding the Gemini Exchange

Gemini also views Australia as a potential market, and has chosen the country to expand its business.

“Australia is currently ranked 12th globally for bitcoin trading volume and we are optimistic that Gemini will help encourage broader adoption for crypto in Australia,” Winklevoss said. “Today, Gemini is available in a total of 49 U.S. states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Australia.”

In mid-August, Gemini announced that it would be bringing David Damato – a cybersecurity expert with 20 years of experience – to the firm as chief security officer.
