The first way to deposit funds is to directly buy a cryptocurrency with your payment method, usually your credit card, and thus have funds already directly in the cryptocurrency you want.

In order to buy cryptocurrencies in Gemini, you can do it directly with your payment method that you have indicated. When you create your account, you will be asked for a payment method where you can add a credit or debit card to buy cryptocurrencies. If you did not add it, in your profile, you can go to payment method, and add the information to be able to start buying and selling cryptocurrencies on Gemini.

With the payment method indicated, it is as simple as clicking on the cryptocurrency you want to buy in the desktop version, the app operation is very similar. In the buy part, it will first ask you what type of purchase, if it is a one-time purchase, every day, every week, every two weeks or every month. This is a way to buy an asset every so often, and thus buy both when it has a lower price, and when it has a higher price. To avoid entering at the time when the price of this cryptocurrency is at its highest.

Once you have selected this, usually you will select in single purchase, the next thing is to indicate the quantity. You will be able to see different price options, and you can click on customize to indicate a specific number that is not in these options. Also, remember that the amount you indicate is in the currency you have indicated, whether it is euros if you live in Europe or dollars if you are in America.
