Gemini Mobile App

Once you’ve downloaded the Gemini Mobile App, had your account verified, and linked your funding source, you can buy and sell more than 70 cryptos in just a few steps.

Step 1 - Select the crypto you want to buy. When you open the Gemini Mobile App, you’ll land on the Homepage where you can explore your overall portfolio, top movers, and your watchlist. Tap on the Market tab at the bottom left of your screen to find a list of all the cryptos you can buy and sell on the Gemini exchange.

Once you select a crypto, the next screen will display information about the crypto you’ve chosen. To make your first purchase, tap trade and select the buy option.

• Price Alerts: If you’re seeking updates on price movements, you have the option to set up a price alert. On the price page for your selected crypto, you’ll see a bell with a plus sign in the top right corner. Tap the bell to create a general market alert that notifies you of significant price movements, or create your own custom alert.

Step 2 - Select a buy order type. After tapping buy, you’ll have the option to choose whether you want to place a one-time purchase or a recurring buy. If you select a recurring buy you’ll have the option to choose between daily, weekly, twice monthly, or monthly purchases.

Step 3 - Enter the amount you want to buy. Next, you’ll be prompted to enter the amount you’d like to purchase. Once you’ve entered the amount, click continue. For those cryptos available in Gemini Earn, you’ll be prompted to choose whether you want to buy and immediately move your crypto into Earn, where you can earn up to 8.05% APY on certain types of crypto. Earn is available in the U.S., Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Step 4 - Choose your payment method and confirm! The next screen will show your payment options. Select your preferred method of payment, review your trade details, and swipe to confirm your order.

To sell crypto, simply select your chosen crypto from the Market tab. Once you tap trade you can select sell, enter the amount you wish to sell and swipe to confirm.

Gemini Website

Once your Gemini account has been verified and you’ve linked a funding source, you’ll also be able to start buying crypto on the Gemini Website in just a few steps.

Step 1 - Select the crypto you want to buy. Once you’ve logged into the Gemini Website, you’ll land on the Homepage. Navigate to the Market tab, where you can browse the 70 tokens available to buy and sell on Gemini. Select View details on the crypto you want to buy.

• Price Alerts: If you’re seeking updates on price movements, you have the option to set up a price alert. On the price page for your selected crypto, you’ll see a bell with a plus sign in the top right corner. Tap the bell to create a general market alert that notifies you of significant price movements, or create your own custom alert.

Step 2 - Create your order. Once on the page of the crypto you want to buy, you’ll see a variety of information about the crypto. On the right side panel of the page, start filling out the fields under Make a trade. Decide whether you want to make a one-time or recurring order, and how much you want to buy. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also have the option to immediately transfer crypto you purchase directly into Gemini Earn, if the crypto is supported in Earn, by toggling Transfer to Earn.

Step 3 - Choose your payment method.

Step 4 - Review your order, and click Confirm!

To sell your crypto on the Gemini Website, simply select a crypto from the Market tab or from your portfolio. Once on the crypto’s price page, you can toggle the sell order type on the right side panel, enter the amount you wish to sell, and click confirm.
