Gemini Altcoins

[hoodun]

How does Gemini choose its altcoins? Are the altcoins they list worthy of consideration over non-listed coins? The list seems random to me...

Currently these are the only tradable coins on Gemini:

BTC
ETH
BCH
LTC

Alts Im familiar with:
LINK
ZEC
MANA
ZRX
KNC
FIL
STORJ
REN
UNI
YFI
AMP
AAVE
DAI

Alts I've never heard of:
PAXG
COMP
BAL
CRV
SNX

Are you serious you have never heard about MakerDao, Compound, Balancer, Syntheticx and so on, so if you never hear about these projects because some of them have over $1 billion market, then which tokens are you investing into? I will like to know

Just like the other exchanges, they have their own preferences. You can have the altcoins that they support to be traded in their exchange if you want to.
And with their standard, those altcoins have passed on whatever is set to be accepted on their exchange and I haven't found any data that tells how they disclose information how they pick altcoins.

Such exchanges want to protect their users or customers.
One of the reasons why Gemini or other exchanges only added few cryptocurrencies or trading pairs to there is the market cap, if you notice the list of tradable coins on Gemini, most of them are a high market cap, trading volume too. So it means that the market is active for those coins, a lot of people that are buying & selling.
And also, some exchanges and maybe Gemini too are very strict when it comes to fundamentals, that's why they don't list random altcoins.

It's surprising if you've never heard of crypto having above average potential. did you not write wrong.
wait, then how did you get to this forum without going through crypto introduction?

Those list aren't about bitcoin, so what's correlation between know this forum and these altcoins? Those are only shitcoin IMO, i don't even want to buy those altcoin in my portofolio.
There is nothing wrong for Gemini only listed those 4 coins, they only want people to trade with most popular coins
