SEC drops lawsuit against Winklevoss twins’ Gemini crypto exchange
The Securities and Exchange Commission has dropped its lawsuit against Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
The Winklevoss twins were donors to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and also backed his family’s business ventures.

"A cryptocurrency firm run by the billionaire Winklevoss twins was facing a punishing federal lawsuit. After Donald J. Trump returned to the White House, the Securities and Exchange Commission moved to freeze the case.
The S.E.C. had also sued Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, but then dropped the case altogether under the new administration.
And after a yearslong legal fight with Ripple Labs, the new S.E.C. tried to reduce a court-ordered penalty against the crypto firm, seeking to soften the blow of the punishment.
The agency’s pullback from these cases illustrated a wide-ranging transformation in the federal government’s treatment of the crypto industry during President Trump’s second term, a New York Times investigation has found.
It is unheard-of for the agency to retreat from a swath of lawsuits against a single industry. And yet, The Times found that the S.E.C. had eased up on more than 60 percent of the crypto cases that were ongoing when Mr. Trump returned to the White House, moving to pause litigation, lessen penalties or outright dismiss the cases.
The dismissals were particularly unusual, The Times found. Under Mr. Trump, S.E.C. dismissals came at a far higher rate for crypto firms than other cases.
And although the particulars of the crypto lawsuits differed, many of these firms had something in common: financial ties to Mr. Trump, the self-described crypto president."

#EpsteinFiles: not only did Jeffrey #Epstein fund the entire bitcoin development team at #MIT Media Lab from 2015-????, he took a special interest in Madars Virza, co-founder of the "privacy coin" ZCash (#ZEC).
#ZCash “fixes” the main issue with bitcoin, at least for people like Jeffrey Epstein. Zcash transactions are encrypted / private and therefore nothing about them is publicly visible in a block explorer¹ (and therefore any suspicious large transactions would not even be noticed).
ZCash, (unlike #Monero / #XMR, its prime competitor in the “privacy coin” space), is not an open source project. It’s privatized secret money created by a corporation. That corporation (Electric Coin Co.) also just so happens to have been funded by DCG, the crypto VC fund Larry Summers sat on the board of for 7 years after being introduced to Brock Pierce by Jeffrey Epstein. ZCash is actually one of #DCG’s flagship investments 🤔
Hard not to think that Epstein wasn’t meeting with #MadarsVirza to make a few “feature requests” that would make #ZCash more useful for people like Jeffrey #Epstein.
(it’s also worth at least mentioning that all of the cryptoverse’s biggest cretins like the #Winklevoss twins, Naval, Emperor Shillbertine, etc. started pushing ZCash HARD a month or two ago as the “true” bitcoin, but that’s probably a subject for a separate post)
¹ though a lot of people think the transactions are visible to #ElectricCoinCo via a backdoor, which is v. different from Monero. i haven't done the work to have an opinion on whether that's true or not, but a lot of bros call ZCash some variant of "CIAcoin"

@cryptadamist @ZDL @micr0 already #Monero is the "#BlackMarketCurrency" because it solves all the problems the #BlackMarket has when it comes to #payment and #money:
Also the #Winklevoss #CryptoBros are "old money finance assholes"...
ZEC is back above $500 as institutional interest rises! 📈
Cypherpunk Technologies, backed by Winklevoss Capital, plans to invest over $50M in Zcash! We cover the details here: https://auriccrypto.com/altcoins/zec/zcash-reclaims-500-as-winklevoss-backed-cypherpunk-makes-50m-bet/
pretty much every single major #crypto trading platform crashed during friday's market panic, leaving users unable to exit their positions when it mattered most and leading to billions in dollars in losses.
- #Binance
- #Coinbase
- #Kraken
- #RobinHood
- #Gemini (#Winklevoss twins)
all went down... and this isn't the first time. coinbase in particular is infamous for crashing pretty much every time there's a major market move.
imagine if every time there was a turbulent day in the stock market vanguard, schwab, fidelity, robinhood (natch), etc. all just crashed and stopped letting anyone trade at exactly the moment it matters most... and that's what the crypto market is.
