Crypto Derivatives Trading Now Available on the Gemini Mobile App

At Gemini, we are dedicated to delivering the best possible crypto trading experience for our users. Today, we are thrilled to unveil an important update to our derivatives trading ecosystem: mobile app trading.

In August, we unveiled the ability to view your derivatives positions and cancel open orders directly from our mobile app. Starting today, mobile users on both iOS and Android can now place orders directly on the Gemini mobile app.

Derivatives Trading On The Go

Since launching our derivatives offering in May, we’ve worked tirelessly to build a platform that serves the needs of our users while ensuring that all features we bring to market are built with security, compliance, and user experience as core pillars.

These features will empower our users to remain informed and maintain control over their trading activities on the go, while enabling them to seize opportunities and make the most of market dynamics — all from the convenience of their mobile device.

Whether you're looking to capitalize on a market trend, hedge your existing positions, or simply explore new opportunities, the Gemini mobile app will enable you to navigate the dynamic world of derivatives trading.
