Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has released a blog post, claiming that they are about to introduce block trading for BTC and ETH starting later this week. This feature allows traders to make high-volume trades which won’t be appearing in the exchange’s order book until only after they have been executed. The block trading will go live at 9:30 ET this Thursday. In order to keep proper functioning, there will be a minimum amount of 10 BTC or 100 ETH for block trading, which allows only people with high capital to participate.

The presence of block trading is mainly essential for hedge funds, which buy and sell huge quantities via the trusted exchanges. Of course these purchases could easily effect the prices, hence the feature is mostly for avoiding even higher volatility while the big players enter.

“In accordance with our commitment to an equitable, transparent, and rules-based marketplace, block orders will be electronically broadcast to participating market makers simultaneously, ensuring best execution and price discovery for those participating in the program,” explained the exchange in its blog post.

Gemini exchange was founded by the Winklevoss brothers who have been awarded $65 million cash by a jury ruling after a long legal dispute with Mark Zuckerberg. The brothers have invested $11 million from this fortune in BTC when it worth $120 a coin. They officially became BTC billionaires in last December, when BTC surpassed the magical $11700 mark. They are probably not complaining, even with the current correction, as reportedly they own other cryptocurrencies besides BTC, according to CNBC.
