Funding your account with fiat (e.g. US Dollars) and bitcoin just became a lot faster!

#### Funding via USD

You can now instantly link your bank account to your Gemini account using your bank account login credentials. No more waiting multiple days for micro-deposits to hit your bank account. Now you can sign up and immediately initiate funding to buy bitcoin.

#### Funding via BTC

We have lowered the required number of bitcoin network confirmations for bitcoin deposits from six (6) to three (3) confirmations. Bitcoins sent to your Gemini deposit address will now be available in your account for trading after three (3) confirmations of the Bitcoin network — which typically occurs in about thirty (30) minutes.

We are continuing to build the foundation for the future of money, where assets can be sent around the globe the way they should be — instantly and at little or no cost. We are at the beginning of the beginning, so stay tuned for much more to come!

Onward and Upward,

Cameron

Funding Your Gemini Account Just Got A Lot Faster!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of [Cryptopedia](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia), a free resource that provides open-access, high-quality crypto education to the world.

Our mission at Gemini is to empower the individual through crypto and we believe that journey begins with understanding. We know that the lack of comprehensive education around crypto is one of the main barriers to entry and adoption for consumers — which is where Cryptopedia can help.

Cryptopedia caters to all levels of knowledge and interest — from the crypto-curious to the crypto-native. You can get started with the [fundamentals of Bitcoin](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/story/begin-with-bitcoin), take a deep dive into the [hottest projects in DeFi](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/explore#de-fi), explore how [trading and investing concepts](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/explore#trading-investing) apply to cryptocurrency, or learn about [cybersecurity best practices](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/explore#security) to keep your crypto safe. 

Cryptopedia is also a platform for crypto experts to share their knowledge with the world. Founders and thought leaders from some of the most prominent and innovative crypto projects — such as Brave CEO Brendan Eich, Aave CEO Stani Kulechov, Tezos co-founder Kathleen Breitman, and many more — have joined our [Expert Network](https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/authors). We plan on further collaboration with these experts and invite other crypto leaders, visionaries, and technologists to __join us by emailing cryptopediasupport@gemini.com__.

We hope Cryptopedia becomes your go-to resource for all things crypto. Happy reading!

Onward and Upward,

Cameron Winklevoss
<br>President
