This could be because Gemini had paused operations for a while yesterday ( 16th November ) . That also paused Deposits & Withdrawals, so gotta do with BAT deposits. You can check at
https://status.gemini.com/
if you scroll down, in past incidents you can check that Deposits & withdrawals were paused.
