I'd be surprised if it gets approved. I think the most likely reason for it to be rejected is the probability of a contentious hard-fork resulting in competing chains. I really do not see how the SEC could justify approving any Bitcoin ETF with this possibility looming over the industry. It is too bad the DEVs and miners can not find some kind of compromise instead of going to war.

Great news about Gemini but the ETF will take quite a long time. There will be many legal loop holes that need to be jumped through.

A rough target could be 2017?

Trading starts Thursday, but what is the point of Gemini, really?
Maybe options?

Unless they have free or almost free trades at Gemini, I can get bitcoin on Coinbase, which would, hopefully, lower their higher trade costs.

Trading starts Thursday, but still nothing on the ETF..

I think the ETF will take a while. It took them this long to launch the exchange, so I expect the ETF will take much longer.

hopefully the ETF will be one small step for gemini and one giant leap for bitcoin.

Vroom vroom got my account active! They let you link your checking account so you can buy easily directly from the exchange. Screenshot

What are the payment options? Only bank transfer from US banks?
They are live faster than I thought. I hope their ETF is not far behind.

The only option they gave me for payment was US bank account. Only US right now and no option for CC or debit. Perhaps that will change down the road.

gemini: We are live...

26 out of 50 states> Undecided

hmmmm

That sounds safer and more honest than Cryptsy which claimed to be fully regulated as a money transmitter across all US states. Cryptsy is now being prosecuted because it only has a federal money transmitter licence, when it should also have a separate license for each state in the US. The winks are doing things slow but legit, and won't be prosecuted like Cryptsy.

It must be a soft launch for institutional investors first. Their site still says invite only.

We have begun sending out invite codes so you can create and fund your account in preparation for trading, which officially begins on Thursday, October 8th at 9:30 AM EDT. If you haven’t done so already, you can request an invite code by clicking “Get Early Access” on the Gemini homepage.

the point of Gemini is:
