Gemini defines your 'state of residence' as the address you have on file in your Gemini account profile, not necessarily where you currently live.
This analysis describes what Gemini's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

Consumers who have moved states without updating their Gemini account address may unknowingly be governed by the wrong agreement, which could affect their dispute rights and consumer protections.
