Their "about" page seems to claim that they are a Qualified Custodian, which means they legally have to segregate their customer deposits from their own operating funds. > Gemini is a New York trust company regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS). We are subject to capital reserve requirements, cybersecurity requirements, and banking compliance standards set forth by the NYSDFS and the New York Banking Law. Gemini is also a fiduciary and Qualified Custodian.
