There are hundreds of different financial assets to trade on Gemini Invest, across several categories: commodities, cryptoassets, currencies, indices and ETFs. Each asset class has its own characteristics, and can be traded using a variety of investment strategies. Some positions on Gemini Invest involve ownership of underlying assets, such as long (BUY), non-leveraged positions on stocks and cryptos. Other employ CFDs, which enable a variety of options, such as leveraged trades, short (SELL) positions, fractional ownership and more.
rowing incredibly in popularity in recent years, cryptoassets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, have become the go-to investment option for many traders. With an ever-growing selection of cryptos added to the platform, and a unique CryptoPortfolio investment strategy which offers exposure to the market and is managed by Gemini Invest investment committee, Gemini Invest presents many options for those who wish to trade and invest in the crypto market.
Cryptoassets display extremely high volatility, and it is quite common to see double-digit percentage fluctuations in a single day. Bitcoin, which is the first and largest crypto, is considered to be the benchmark for this market, and other assets’ charts often move in the same direction as Bitcoin.
Buying crypto on Gemini Invest means you are investing in the underlying asset*, and the crypto is purchased and held by Gemini Invest on your behalf. These trades are unleveraged. Buying and selling the underlying assets are unregulated and have no investor protection.
Commodities are traded on Gemini Invest only as CFDs, meaning you don’t need to purchase the underlying asset to trade them. In addition, CFDs enable “sell” (short) positions, leveraged trades, and fractional ownership – even for assets that don’t offer the option in traditional trading. For example, on Gemini Invest , you can invest as little as $100 in gold, even if a single unit of gold costs $1,000.
Investing in ETFs on Gemini Invest by opening a BUY (long), non-leveraged position, means you are investing in the underlying asset, and the ETF is purchased and held in your name*. However, Gemini Invest also offers additional functions using CFD trading. With CFDs, you can open SELL (short) positions, use leverage, and buy fractional shares. For example, on Gemini Invest, you can invest as little as $250 in an ETF that actually costs $500.
Indices are traded on Gemini Invest as CFDs, as they are not financial assets that can be directly invested in. With a CFD, you can open BUY (long) or SELL (short) positions and open leveraged trades.
