Gemini, a New York-based bitcoin exchange led by Winklevoss brothers, announced the expansion of its services to Japan and the Republic of Korea.
The move follows its recent expansion in Asian countries including Hong Kong and Singapore. The recent development will allow registered customers in the Lands of the Rising Sun and the Morning Calm to trade bitcoin and ether using the Gemini exchange.
“These dynamic East Asian economies have long embraced the growth of bitcoin and other digital assets, and our expansion to Japan and South Korea represents another milestone in Gemini’s pursuit of building a global next generation digital asset exchange,” the announcement stated.
The expansion will allow customers in Japan and South Korea to buy and sell BTC with USD or ETH, buy and sell ETH with USD or BTC as well as participate in Gemini’s daily two-sided bitcoin auction. The digital asset exchange also supports US Dollar wire transfers from customer’s bank located in Japan or South Korea.
