Gemini pros
- NYDFS-chartered limited purpose trust company with fiduciary and qualified-custodian status under New York Banking Law since 2015
- Now a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: GEMI, listed September 2025), adding public financial disclosure on top of existing state oversight
- Strong account-security tooling, including hardware-key 2FA, and no reported hack resulting in loss of customer crypto
- The Earn collapse was ultimately resolved with the large majority of assets returned, and an arbitrator later found Gemini itself not at fault
OKX pros
- One of the few exchanges offering deep futures, options, and copy trading in a single product
- Broad asset and derivatives coverage in one interface
- Established copy-trading and bot tooling alongside manual trading
