Tyler Winklevoss, the Co-Founder of Gemini, a regulated crypto exchange, has made headlines by donating $1 million in bitcoin (15.47 BTC) to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Winklevoss publicly announced his endorsement of Trump for the upcoming election, citing the Biden Administration’s aggressive stance against the cryptocurrency industry as his motivation.
In a recent YouTube video, Winklevoss accused the Biden Administration of using government power to “weaponize” financial and regulatory agencies in order to harass and undermine crypto companies. He specifically mentioned “Operation Choke Point 2.0” and the SEC’s litigation tactics as examples of the administration’s hostility towards the industry.
Emphasizing Trump’s pro-crypto stance, Winklevoss argued that the current President is supportive of Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and business in general. He criticized the Biden Administration for corrupting regulatory agencies and undermining America’s economic system.
Winklevoss urged the crypto community to rally behind Trump, claiming that the President’s favorable stance on cryptocurrency and business would protect economic freedoms and encourage innovation. He warned that the Biden Administration’s actions not only disrupt economic freedom but also contradict the principles of capitalism that have historically driven America’s prosperity.
In addition, Winklevoss pointed out that Trump’s engagement with the crypto industry could potentially have a positive impact on Bitcoin’s value and influence the stability of the national grid in the future.
