Welcoming Our General Counsel

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

Gemini dollar (GUSD) Is Now Supported by 25 Exchanges

When we founded Gemini over four years ago, our mission was simple: **_build a bridge to the future of money_**. As a first step, this meant making it safe and easy to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ether, and Zcash. However, when fiat currency and cryptocurrency interact, the differences between the traditional banking system and cryptocurrencies become increasingly clear. While cryptocurrencies operate 24/7/365 (similar to email), fiat currencies only operate during specific “business hours” (like snail mail)  —  a fundamental mismatch. As a next step in our mission, we must improve the linkage between these worlds by giving fiat currency the same desirable technological qualities of cryptocurrencies.

To date, there has been no **_trusted and regulated_** digital representation of the U.S. dollar that moves in an open, decentralized manner like cryptocurrencies. Enter the **Gemini dollar**_ — _ a stable value coin (often called a “stablecoin”) that is (i) issued by Gemini, a New York trust company, (ii) strictly pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, and (iii) built on the Ethereum network according to the ERC20 standard for tokens. The Gemini dollar (**ticker symbol:** **GUSD**) combines the creditworthiness and price stability of the U.S. dollar with blockchain technology and the oversight of U.S. regulators, namely, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). You can read more about the Gemini dollar  —  **_the world’s first regulated stablecoin_**  —  in our white paper [here](https://gemini.com/static/dollar/gemini-dollar-whitepaper.pdf).

Starting today, **September 10, 2018** at **10am ET**,  you will be able to convert U.S. dollars in your Gemini account into Gemini dollars and withdraw them to an Ethereum address you specify. You will also be able to automatically convert Gemini dollars into U.S. dollars by depositing them into your Gemini account.

The U.S dollars that correspond to the Gemini dollars issued and in circulation will be held at a bank located in the United States and eligible for FDIC “pass-through” deposit insurance, subject to applicable limitations. In addition, the U.S dollar deposit balance will be examined monthly by an independent registered public accounting firm to verify the 1:1 peg. All Independent Accountants’ Reports will be publicly available [here](https://gemini.com/dollar/#reports). Further, the smart contracts underlying the Gemini dollar token have been fully audited and formally verified by an independent security firm, whose report is publicly available [here](https://gemini.com/static/dollar/gemini-dollar-trailofbits-audit.pdf).

We are excited to bring the Gemini dollar to market and provide a crucial link between the traditional banking system and the new, rapidly growing crypto economy. With the Gemini dollar, we continue to deliver on our mission  —  **_to build the future of money_**  —  and help transform the global financial system to enable possibilities previously unimaginable. For questions or other inquiries, please contact us at [gusd@gemini.com](mailto:gusd@gemini.com).

Onward and Upward,

Cameron and Tyler
