  When copy and pasting cryptocurrency wallet addresses on Gemini, one of the main risks is the possibility of making a mistake and sending your funds to the wrong address. This can happen if you accidentally copy an incorrect address or if there is malware on your device that modifies the address in your clipboard.

  Copying and pasting wallet addresses on Gemini can also expose you to the risk of clipboard hijacking. This is when a malicious program or website monitors your clipboard and replaces the copied address with a different one. To mitigate this risk, it's recommended to use a trusted wallet application that has built-in address verification.
