The news came just days after Gemini announced that it has launched the Gemini dollar (GUSD), a new stable coin pegged to the U.S. dollar designed to be the bridge between the cryptocurrency ecosystem and the traditional payment system.
Gemini, which was founded in 2014 by the Winklevoss brothers, currently offers direct U.S. dollar fiat trading pairs for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Zcash (ZEC), in addition to licensed custodian services.
With market cap of $3.39 billion, LTC is currently ranked 7th at CoinMarketCap. At press time, the cryptocurrency’s price is 8.37 per cent up, changing hands at around $58.5.
