The Winklevoss Twins Convinces Banks to Invest in Blockchain
summary
Gemini launches in 2015 as a licensed, regulation-first exchange and claims to have convinced banks by prioritizing commercial privacy on public ledgers, adding zcash support to let institutions hide counterparty flows. Recent product moves include live trading for Orchid (OXT), LINK and BAT, planning fiat pairs beyond USD and an FCA license pursuit. Winklevoss Capital describes early bitcoin allocations (at one point roughly 1% of supply) and flexible venture bets across crypto and consumer startups.
