# Gem Wallet Adds Currency Search: Find USD, EUR, or Your Local Currency in Seconds
> Gem Wallet adds currency search - learn how to find USD, EUR, or your local currency by code or name in a couple of taps and see your wallet balance in it.

Gem Wallet has added search to the currency selection screen - starting September 22, 2026, from version 2.114.41, on iOS and Android. Our users can now find their currency by code or name in a couple of taps, without scrolling through the whole list.

## What Is Currency Search in Gem Wallet?

Currency search is a search bar on the fiat currency selection screen in Gem Wallet. You type a code, like USD, or a name, like "dollar", and the list instantly narrows down to the matches.

The currency you choose sets how Gem Wallet shows your balance, asset prices, and other [market data](https://gemwallet.com/learn/what-is-market-data-in-crypto-price-market-cap-supply-and-trading-volume/). Now you can see your [BTC](https://gemwallet.com/bitcoin-wallet/), [USDT](https://gemwallet.com/usdt-wallet/), [ETH](https://gemwallet.com/ethereum-wallet/), and assets on 100+ other networks in dollars, euros, or any other currency you prefer.

As of September 2026, Gem Wallet supports 55 currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, and others).
