The Gemini Dollar differentiates from Bitcoin and other traditional cryptocurrencies in the way that it is able to maintain a steady value. This is unlike Bitcoin, for example, which can have extreme price fluctuations. To achieve this stability in terms of value, there are certain things that are deployed. This can be done through advanced computation, or binding a value to underlying assets such as fiat currencies such as USD, EUR or even gold. The Gemini Dollar is designed to provide a transparent regulatory complaint connection between the traditional financial systems and the blockchain industry as a whole.

The Gemini Dollar can be traded on 41 exchanges, and had an all-time high value of $1.3435.

To verify that the necessary 1:1 peg is backed by dollars, the deposit balance at Gemini’s U.S. bank is examined on a monthly basis by LLP, BPM and independently registered public accounting firms.

All of the private keys that are used to sign cryptocurrency transactions are custodied offsite in the secure, guarded and geographically distributed facilities on a cloud storage system.

The keys exist on hardware security modules also known as HSMs that meet or exceed U.S. government computer security standards such as FIPS 140–2 Level 3.

Multisignature technology, also known as multisig, is also implemented and provides an added layer of security from attacks and increased fault tolerance.
