Gemini Dollar (GUSD) is a US dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Gemini Trust Company, the New York-based digital-asset firm founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Each GUSD is designed to trade at $1 and is backed 1:1 by US dollar reserves held at regulated US banks. GUSD launched in September 2018 as one of the first stablecoins approved and supervised by a US state regulator.
GUSD is issued under the supervision of the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) and operates as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network. The supervisory framework, monthly attestations, and trust-company structure place GUSD alongside USDC as one of the most heavily regulated dollar stablecoins on the market.
The Gemini Dollar price targets $1 by design. Live data on this page is aggregated from a multi-venue market feed and refreshes every 60 seconds. Most of the time GUSD trades within a fraction of a cent of the peg. Larger deviations are uncommon and usually resolve within hours through arbitrage.
What moves GUSD around its peg:
The numbers in the price card above are live. Stablecoin analysis focuses on reserve quality and counterparty risk, not price action.
GUSD reserves are held in segregated accounts at US-chartered banks and in money market funds invested in short-duration US Treasury securities. The reserve composition is published monthly by an independent registered public accounting firm.
Because Gemini Trust is a New York limited-purpose trust company, GUSD reserves are held under fiduciary obligations and are subject to NYDFS examination. The framework imposes capital, cybersecurity, anti-money-laundering, and consumer-protection requirements that most offshore stablecoins do not face.
GUSD is an ERC-20 token deployed on the Ethereum mainnet. Native issuance lives on a single chain, which simplifies accounting but limits the cross-chain footprint compared with multi-chain stablecoins.
On-chain redemption requires moving GUSD back to a Gemini account and converting to USD. This adds friction compared with peer-to-peer DeFi flows but keeps the redemption pipeline regulated.
GUSD competes with much larger regulated and offshore stablecoins. The differences matter for risk profile, liquidity, and use case.
For long-term cash-equivalent holdings, GUSD’s trust-company structure is a meaningful advantage. For short-term trading, the spread and liquidity gap with the larger stablecoins matters more.
A GUSD price forecast is structurally different from forecasting volatile assets. The base case is that GUSD continues to trade at $1 because the peg mechanism, reserve quality, and NYDFS supervision align to keep mint and redeem at par. Our GUSD price forecast page covers the scenarios that could move the peg and how to track them.
Acquiring GUSD follows the standard exchange flow, with the easiest path being Gemini itself.
For storage, treat GUSD like any other ERC-20: confirm the contract address before adding the token to a wallet, and avoid leaving large balances on exchanges long term.
GUSD is regulated, but it is not riskless. Stablecoin risks differ from those of volatile cryptocurrencies.
This page is information, not financial advice. Stablecoin holdings carry counterparty and regulatory risk that is different from, but not always smaller than, the price volatility of other cryptocurrencies.
