Gemini Brings Crypto Trading to Colombian Bank in New Partnership
US-based crypto exchange Gemini announced further moving into South American by a new partnership with Colombia’s largest bank, Bancolombia.
The partnership will run as part of a year-long pilot program run by Colombia’s financial regulator, the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC) and will take effect December. 14.
A limited number of users will be able to trade 4 crypto assets, Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), directly from their Bancolombia bank accounts through the Gemini exchange. The exchange will integrate the systems and put the crypto-specific infrastructure for exchange and custody of assets in place. Whether users will be able to withdraw their cryptocurrencies directly from their accounts was not revealed.
We recently partnered with @Bancolombia to provide their customers with a seamless onramp to trade $BTC, $ETH, $LTC, and $BCH through the Gemini exchange!
