Gemini has launched 0% commission stock trading for customers in eligible U.S. jurisdictions, with Nasdaq providing real-time market data and Apex Clearing acting as the clearing broker and custodian. The Block reported that several states and territories are excluded for now, while Gemini’s own announcement frames the move as another step toward an all-in-one financial app.
For traders, the important detail is not just the headline commission rate. A crypto app that adds stocks changes the workflow: watchlists can mix token volatility with equity-market hours, cash management becomes more important, and users need to know which entity holds securities versus crypto assets. Gemini says it is acting as an introducing broker, which generally means execution, custody and clearing sit with a partner rather than the app itself.
The move also reflects a broader race among crypto venues and brokers to become the default trading screen. That can be convenient for users who want crypto, equities, prediction markets or derivatives in one place, but it also raises the risk of overtrading across products with very different settlement rules, liquidity windows and tax records.
A practical checklist: confirm whether stock trading is available in your jurisdiction, read the clearing and custody disclosures, compare spread quality and order controls rather than only commissions, and separate long-term investing cash from speculative crypto balances.
