Where to find your public activity settings
Your public activity on Gemini is visible through your profile page, which anyone with your username can find. To see what others see when they visit your profile, log into your Gemini account, go to your profile settings, and look for the "Public Activity" or "Activity" section. The exact location depends on whether you're using the web platform or the mobile app, but it's always in your account settings under profile or privacy options.
Gemini shows your public activity as a timeline or feed of transactions and account events that you've chosen to make visible. This typically includes things like trades you've marked public, deposits and withdrawals (if you've enabled visibility for those), and account milestones. Not everything on your account is public by default — you control what shows up.
Key Takeaways
- Your public activity appears on your Gemini profile page, which is searchable by username if you've made your profile public.
- You can view your own public activity the same way anyone else would — by visiting your profile as if you were a stranger.
- Gemini lets you toggle visibility on individual transaction types, so you can keep some activity private while making other activity visible.
- If your profile is set to private, no one can see your public activity feed at all, even if individual transactions are marked public.
Checking what's visible on your profile page
The fastest way to see your public activity is to open your profile in a private or incognito browser window, or log out and search for your username. This shows you exactly what a stranger would see. Go to your Gemini profile URL (usually gemini.com/users/[your-username]) and scroll through the activity feed. Anything that appears there is public.
If nothing appears, your profile is either set to private or you haven't marked any activity as public yet. Check your privacy settings to confirm. Some users set their profile to private but still want certain transactions visible — Gemini allows this, but the activity won't show on a profile feed; instead, individual transaction links can be shared directly.
Privacy settings that control what shows up
Gemini separates profile visibility from activity visibility. Your profile visibility setting determines whether your username page exists at all and whether people can find you by searching. Your activity visibility settings determine what appears on that page once someone reaches it.
In your account settings, look for privacy or visibility controls. You'll typically find toggles for whether your profile is public or private, and separate toggles for transaction types — trades, deposits, withdrawals, and account events. You can make your profile public but hide all transactions, or make your profile private and share individual transaction links with specific people. The combination you choose determines what shows in your public activity.
Understanding what counts as public activity
Public activity on Gemini usually includes trades you've executed (buy and sell orders), the dates and times of those trades, and the assets involved. Depending on your settings, it may also show deposit and withdrawal events, though the amounts and destination addresses are typically hidden for security reasons. Account milestones — like account creation date or verification status — may also appear.
What does not appear in public activity, even if your profile is public, is your account balance, your holdings, your payment methods, or your personal information beyond your username. Gemini keeps financial details private by default. If you're concerned about what's showing, the safest approach is to set your profile to private and only share specific transaction links when you need to prove a trade happened.
Changing your public activity settings
To change what's public, go to your account settings and find the privacy or profile section. You'll see toggles for your profile visibility and for each type of activity. Turning off a toggle removes that activity from your public feed when ready — there's no delay. If you turn off all activity toggles, your profile will appear empty even if it's set to public.
Keep in mind that changing these settings doesn't erase past activity that was already public. If you made trades public and then turn off the trades toggle, those old trades disappear from your public feed going forward, but anyone who saw them before the change may have recorded them. For truly sensitive activity, the safest approach is to keep your profile private from the start.
Why you might want to keep activity private
Making your trading activity public can expose patterns about your investment strategy, the size of your positions, and the timing of your trades. This information can be useful to people trying to understand your approach, but it can also be used to infer your wealth, predict your next moves, or target you for scams. Keeping your profile private protects you from this exposure.
If you use Gemini for dollar-cost averaging or regular deposits, public activity can reveal how much you're investing and how often. If you make large trades, public activity shows the timing and size. Neither of these is inherently dangerous, but combined with other information about you online, it can paint a detailed picture of your finances. Review your settings regularly and adjust them based on your comfort level.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone find my Gemini profile if I don't want them to?
If your profile is set to private, no one can find it by searching your username or browsing Gemini's user directory. They would need a direct link to your profile page to see anything, and even then they'd see a private profile message. If your profile is public, anyone can find it by username.
Does making my profile public show my account balance?
No. Your account balance, holdings, and total portfolio value are never public, regardless of your settings. Only the activity you've chosen to make visible — like individual trades — appears on your public profile. Your financial totals stay private.
If I delete a trade, does it disappear from my public activity?
Gemini doesn't let you delete trades that have already executed. Once a trade is complete, it's part of your transaction history. You can only control whether it appears in your public activity feed by toggling the visibility setting for that transaction type. The trade itself remains in your account records.
What happens if I turn my profile from public to private?
Your profile becomes unsearchable and inaccessible to anyone who doesn't have a direct link. All activity that was visible disappears from public view when ready. If someone had bookmarked your profile page, they'll see a private profile message instead of your activity feed.
Can I make some trades public and others private?
Gemini's settings work at the transaction type level, not the individual trade level. You can hide all trades or show all trades, but you can't pick and choose individual trades to hide. If you need that level of control, you'd need to keep your profile private and share specific transaction links only with people you trust.
