The exchange said in a statement that Bancolombia clients will have access to cryptocurrency trading as early as December 14th. At the start, the range of digital assets will be quite limited, the bank’s clients will be able to trade BTC, ETH, LTC, and BCH. It is not yet known whether the withdrawal of purchased cryptocurrencies to other wallets will be available or not.

The exchange said in a statement:

“At Gemini, we are excited about opportunities for growth in Latin America, one of the most promising international markets for crypto adoption.”

The partnership between the bank and the Gemini exchange was made possible through a one-year pilot program run by Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC). The country’s financial regulator has selected nine cryptocurrency firms that will be able to operate in the Colombian market.

In Latin America, Gemini is present in the markets of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay. Earlier, the CEO of Uphold, JP Thieriot, said that it was the countries of Latin America that would become the leaders in the adoption of bitcoin due to the large number of people who do not have access to banking services.
