If you'd like to deposit supported crypto into your Gemini account, please follow the steps below:
-
Select the Receive button. This will be located in the Transfer drop down menu in the top left hand corner of the screen on the Gemini web platform.
In the center of the screen if using Gemini’s mobile app on Android.
And in the center of the screen if using Gemini’s mobile app on an iPhone.
-
After hitting the receive button, select the supported crypto you wish to deposit. For this example, we have selected Ethereum.
-
Select a destination address; The destination address can be changed by clicking on the arrow icon shown below. Note; for some crypto currencies additional information will be requested as well as the destination address¹.
This will load the ‘Select destination address’ pop up where you may select from current deposit addresses or generate new ones by clicking on the ‘Add another address here’ option.
Once an address has been selected hit the ‘Select address’ button.
-
The unique Gemini crypto deposit address can be copied by clicking on the copy button highlighted in the picture below. Or, If your external wallet or service provider that currently holds your crypto allows for it, you may be able to copy the deposit address by scanning the QR code.
You will then need to instruct your external wallet or service provider that holds custody of your crypto to initiate a withdrawal to this unique Gemini crypto deposit address. This is something that only you can initiate and it cannot be done by Gemini.
- Once a crypto currency has been received it will be available for use in your account. Note; clients based in the UK or Singapore will need to complete an additional attestation before the deposit can be used. For more information please see our UK Deposits Attestations FAQ if you are a UK resident or our Singapore Deposit Attestations page if you are a Singaporean resident.
Please note a Gemini deposit address is issued to you to receive your funds into Gemini’s pool of liquidity for the purpose of trading. This address is part of Gemini’s omnibus hot wallet—it does not constitute a/your wallet. When a deposit is received at this address, its value is added to your Gemini balance. Therefore, it is incorrect to take the blockchain balance of a Gemini deposit address as having any relation to your Gemini account's balance.
