- ✓ Regulation
One of the most regulated US venues — a New York Trust Company under NYDFS charter since 2015, held to fiduciary and capital-reserve standards. Source →
- ✓ Proof-of-Reserves
Reserves are under NYDFS supervision and the GUSD stablecoin gets a monthly attestation by BPM LLP. Source →
- ✓ Flexible withdrawal
Staking has no platform lock-up — only the network's unbonding period (about 4 days for ETH) applies. Source →
- ✗ Insurance Fund
No separately disclosed insurance fund for staked assets; NYDFS instead requires excess capital reserves. Source →
- ✓ Track record (2+ years incident-free)
Founded 2014 by the Winklevoss twins. The Gemini Earn lending crisis (2022–23, via Genesis) ended with 100% of the ~$2.2B returned to users; no major exchange hack. Source →

Your money, this pair
How much will you earn?
Method: monthly compounding (1 + APR/12)ⁿ, where APR is the exchange's stated rate. The realized 12-month return is slightly higher due to reinvestment. Rates may change. Not financial advice.

How SOL earns on Gemini
When you deposit SOL into Gemini's earn product you receive 6.0 % APY as a Earn rate. The platform puts the asset to work and shares the yield — your balance grows without you doing anything.
This is a base rate, not a promotional teaser: it's what an ordinary deposit actually earns. Gemini carries a YieldScope safety grade of B, so weigh the yield against platform risk — a higher rate on a weaker grade is not automatically a better deal.
Rates on SOL move with lending demand and market conditions. We re-check them daily and keep a history, so you can see whether today's number is unusually high, unusually low, or steady.
