On Tuesday (11 December 2018), Gemini Trust Company, the digital asset exchange and custodian founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2014, announced that it had launched a new mobile app (available for iOS and Android).
In a blog post published a little earlier today, Tyler Winklevoss, Co-Founder and CEO of Gemni, talked about the new mobile app, and listed its main features:
- buying and selling any of the supported cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, and ZEC);
- real-time market prices and portfolio value (for any selected cryptocurrency, you can get historical price data for the past 24 hours, one week, one month, three months, or one year)
- price alerts (this lets you get a "push notification when a price moves above or below a certain price point — or moves by more than a certain percentage value")
- recurring buy orders (this allows repeating an order "at any frequency, time, and amount of your choosing");
- sending and receiving crypto; and
- buying "The Cryptoverse" (a basket containing all of the five supported cryptocurrencies based on "weighted market cap"; currently, the percentages for BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, and ZEC are 82.34%, 12.80%, 2.43%, 2.04%, and 0.39% respectively).
“For many years when we were building Gemini, price wasn’t a thing. Bitcoin was a $200 coin. Then, last year is actually an anomaly, and almost, you could argue, a distraction.”
He later added:
"While some capital might be leaving the market, the human capital is really impressive, and it’s long-term capital. People don’t make decisions to enter crypto on a month-to-month or price to price basis."
