Can You Trust Gemini?

Yes, Gemini is a trustworthy exchange and communicates their security better than any platform. They offer 2FA, $200m in cold storage insurance, and have never had a hack (founded in 2014). They have more security features than any other platform we have reviewed so far.

⚠️ Although Gemini is considered safe, over 50% of platforms we tested have had hacks or incidents in the past. We strongly recommend storing and protecting your crypto on a non-custodial wallet where you own the private keys. Preferably, a reputable hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano X.
