Transfers over a crypto blockchain network require nodes that verify and broadcast transactions, and miners that group transactions into blocks. When your transaction is first broadcasted, it lives in a mempool before being mined. In a distributed system, it may take a few moments for the changes to propagate so that your transaction shows up everywhere. Because of fluctuations in each network’s traffic it can be difficult to predict how long a transaction will take to be confirmed.
Any supported asset you send to your Gemini deposit address is available for trading once the transaction reaches the required confirmations on its network. This covers the native coin and supported tokens. Example: ETH and ERC-20 tokens both use Ethereum’s count.
