Title: New To Gemini Exchange, Missing Trading Pairs help
Post by: very_452001 on March 12, 2021, 01:41:42 PM
Hi from UK here.

How do I trade Dai for USD on Gemini ActiveTrader?

I see the pair is available on this exchange at:
https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/gemini

Why cant I see all of the trading pairs in ActiveTrader interface?

I can see the all trading pairs in the easy exchange interface however I cant do limit orders on easy.

Am I restricted to sell my Dai for £GBP first then I'm only restricted to market orders with £GBP on the easy interface because I'm a UK customer?

Anyone from UK having similar problems with Gemini?

With GBP in your account on the Gemini Mobile App or on your desktop, you can buy cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Dai (DAI), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC),
ChainLink (LINK), Orchid (OXT), Amp (AMP), Pax Gold (PAXG), and Compound (COMP).

So it looks like you are limited to certain pairs for now. Send their support a message, as a rule they are not good at fixing problems but are good at answering questions like this. Or at least their US support is good.
They are also responsive on twitter.

I cant do limit order on those coins above except for btc & eth.

So it sucks for UK customers and when do you think they will allow full trading for UK customers?

Why you want to trade stable coin to USD?

From this sentence it appears to me that you may try to get rid of GBP buying anything from the list above and than use them to trade on all trading pairs available on gemini?

If it didn't work out try different exchange - like binance. I have never heard anything about UK restrictions there.

The whole Gemini Exchange set up all looks a little complicated. Is there any particular reason you are using Gemini?
We do have some much more friendly exchanges with lots of trading pairs like Kucoin, Binance. Maybe you should check them out and move your funds there if you want to trade.
