Today, we are excited to announce that Gemini will be joining the BitMEX [.BXBT](https://www.bitmex.com/app/index/.BXBT) and [.BETH](https://www.bitmex.com/app/index/.BETH) indexes**.** As a constituent of each respective index, Gemini’s market data will be used to help price the BitMEX [XBTUSD Perpetual Contract](https://www.bitmex.com/app/seriesGuide/app/contract/XBTUSD), [ETHUSD Perpetual Contract](https://www.bitmex.com/app/contract/ETHUSD), and [XBT Futures Contracts](https://www.bitmex.com/app/futuresGuide). Gemini’s market data will also be used for BitMEX [Upside Profit Contracts (UPs)](https://www.bitmex.com/app/upsGuide#Overview) and [Downside Profit Contracts (DOWNs)](https://www.bitmex.com/app/downsGuide#Overview). We look forward to helping power and enhance the most liquid derivatives contracts in crypto.

Implementation is scheduled for Thursday**, November 21, 2019 at 8:00pm ET**.

Today, we’re excited to share that USD payment rails are now available for institutional customers in the UK and Switzerland through our banking partner, Bank Frick. In addition, this functionality will be available to institutional users in Gibraltar, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.  

Institutions in these regions can now engage in cryptocurrency transactions directly in USD, furthering the versatility of our platform. They will now be able to deposit and withdraw in USD, as well as access more than 80+ different USD trading pairs. For a limited time, UK institutions will also be able to deposit and withdraw fiat funds using these USD rails without paying any additional fees**. Additionally, we’ll be making use of [xPULSE](https://www.bankfrick.li/en/Bank-Frick-xPULSE): Bank Frick’s 23/7 payment service to enable frictionless banking rails, even outside of business hours, for deposits.

We’re also delighted to share that in a few weeks time, the same functionality will be extended to all our EU and EEA* institutional customers! 

Bringing this new functionality to our platform in the UK was made possible by teaming up with [Bank Frick](https://www.bankfrick.li/en). Founded in 1998 in Liechtenstein, Bank Frick is a world-famous provider of services such as fund administration, blockchain banking, and fund management. 

Since [launching in the UK in 2020](https://www.gemini.com/blog/gemini-live-in-the-uk), we have been working to expand our functionality and offer safe and secure*** access to crypto. This integration aligns with our commitment to provide a stable and reliable trading environment, providing further convenience to users.

If you represent an EU institution and are interested in using USD rails for more advanced trading features and products, please reach out to institutional.team@gemini.com.

Onward and Upward,
Team Gemini
