Gemini trading fees (spot maker/taker, futures), KYC requirements and regulatory status — data with sources.
Fees — Spot: ActiveTrader fee schedule, lowest tier (30-day volume >= $0, asset balance >= $0): maker 0.600% / taker 1.200%. Derivatives: Perpetuals table on the same page, $0 volume tier: maker 0.02% / taker 0.07% (taker drops to 0.06% from $10,000); fees charged in GUSD; perpetuals offered by Gemini Artemis Pte. Ltd. in select non-US jurisdictions, up to 100x. Crypto withdrawal fees are dynamic (current network fee shown at withdrawal time), so BTC/USDT withdrawal fees are null. Fiat deposits: ACH and wire free, debit card 3.49%, PayPal 2.50%. Support is email-only per the security page (no phone/live chat).
KYC required — Gemini blog (KYC and onboarding): identity must be verified to enable withdrawals and additional documents are needed to be fully verified; whether trading is possible before full verification was not stated explicitly, so kyc_required is left null.
