1. Accessible for new and experienced traders
Gemini offers a streamlined UI that's designed to make trading crypto a more straightforward process for investors.
If you're new to investing, Gemini offers a way to get to grips with the various facets of buying and selling.
If you're a more experienced investor, it can also offer a more simplified layout than some of the other investment platforms currently on the market.
Additionally, Gemini also invests in a range of security features to protect its members, including 2-factor authentication, SOC 2 compliance and insurance for assets held in Gemini hot wallets.
2. Referral program
Everyone likes to earn rewards and crypto traders are no exception.
With this in mind, Gemini operates a referral program to incentivise members to get their friends to join too.
When a user you refer signs up, fully verifies their account with their ID and trades AUD 100 or more within 30 days of signing up, you and that user will receive AUD $50 in the cryptocurrency of your choice.
Members can earn up to AUD $1,500 in referrals.
Rewards like this can be a great way to build your portfolio and also encourage friends who are investing alongside you.

3. Trading on 70+ cryptocurrencies
At time of writing, Gemini offers more than 70 cryptocurrencies for buying, selling and trading.
So whether you're starting your crypto journey or transferring an existing portfolio, Gemini can help.
Some of the cryptocurrencies available include Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. Additionally, trending tokens and memecoins are also available
Importantly, Gemini also has a global presence. This can allow for greater market liquidity for Australian traders.
You can see a full selection of the cryptocurrencies available on the Gemini Exchange.
4. Multiple purchasing options
Different traders are often looking for different trading experiences.
When you're initially trading, acquisition and growth tend to be the focus.
However, it can become more nuanced as you become a more experienced trader.
Considerations like fees, order specifics, timing and more can come to the forefront.
With this in mind, Gemini offers Instant Buy and ActiveTrader. Each offers a different fee structure and user experience.
- Instant Buy is for fast and straightforward transactions. It's primarily designed for relatively new crypto traders, or for one-off transactions by more experienced traders.
- ActiveTrader is for seasoned and professional traders who want advanced functionality and improved fees.
Additionally, Gemini also lets you use Recurring Buy. This allows members to schedule future purchases across a range of supported orders.
This can be effective for DCA-style investors or those looking to invest in a specific cryptocurrency.
5. Multiple payment options
Once you've become a Gemini member, you'll need to deposit some funds.
Members can deposit and withdraw funds in AUD.
When making deposits, you're able to use Bank Transfer (NPP), Apple Pay, Google Pay and (of course) crypto.
6. Staking is coming
Staking has long been a staple of crypto investment. It's a way to passively earn via your investment, without needing to proactively trade.
Essentially, staking allows you to temporarily use some of your crypto to power its parent blockchain.
The computing power your crypto provides allows for a smoother process for the blockchain's record-keeping when others are buying, selling, mining and more.
You'll also earn rewards for staking, generally paid out in cryptocurrency of the same type.
At time of writing, staking for a range of cryptocurrencies is set to be added to Gemini in December 2025.
Make sure to keep an eye on the Gemini website for more information.
