Gemini Space Station, Inc.

I mean, Circle's main rival is Tether, which is not a publicly traded company.

There have been a lot of crypto-related IPOs, though, a company, Bullish, that's in the exchange space, Gemini, Galaxy Digital, obviously Coinbase is publicly traded, Robinhood making a lot more inroads.

into crypto publicly traded.

So there's not an apples to apples company comparison to Circle because Circle really dominates its area, its niche, along with Tether.

I think the...

the Gemini guys with the Winklevoss.

This seems to be, do you think there's any risk of those kind of companies being drawn into Congress to address these kinds of activities?

I think there will definitely be oversight hearings, probably along the lines that you suggested.

shockingly good prediction event.

It was the first one I've ever been to, or Gemini has ever been to, actually.

And I had no idea what to expect, but it was really good, actually.

The crowd was great.

I think it was three to five stages.

I mean, really hats off to NextPredictNYC.

So great place to be at for Gemini as well.

I mean, that's where I learned about Gemini's prediction markets and excited to be utilizing them today for midterm mayhem.

Nobody's safe.

Whether you're Coinbase, Gemini, or any of these top tier one exchange, nobody's safe.

So that's kind of like my initial reaction to what happened last night.

I mean, it was, it was a movie.

Who else? No one else.

There's no exchange that fit.

Gemini? Nah, bro, listen.

They're looking at Gemini like this.

I think the...

the Gemini guys with the Winklevoss.

This seems to be, do you think there's any risk of those kind of companies being drawn into Congress to address these kinds of activities?

I think there will definitely be oversight hearings, probably along the lines that you suggested.

But he's vowed to continue to, quote, take on the, quote, crypto slash data center crowd.

The Winklevoss twins, who founded the Gemini Crypto Exchange and bankroll the Digital Freedom Fund, have called Brown a, quote, crypto public enemy and cast him as a, quote, henchman and co-conspirator of Elizabeth Warren, the industry's favorite villain.

In 2024, Fairshake spent $40 million to help Bernie Moreno unseat him, also the most it spent on any race that cycle, and four times what it spent on the next biggest.

Crypto is far from the only big money in this race.

But since crypto started spending against him, he's had harsh words for some members of that sector.

Quote, Pete Ricketts takes money from crypto con men who defrauded thousands of investors.

Just another day serving the billionaire Epstein class instead of Nebraskans, Osborne wrote on Twitter alongside a graphic of the Winklevoss twins that cited Gemini's $5 million fine by the CFTC.

Ricketts has received $186,500 in candidate-specific contributions from crypto and AI executives, mostly from Andreessen Horowitz, Don Wilson of DRW, and Google.

We saw that with the Revolut stuff, right? Because Revolut had the bad actors were targeting people holding Bitcoin.

But then on Revolut, it's a natural, like most people aren't using Gemini or Coinbase to go buy their cup of coffee or pay their kids, you know, daycare.

But if you're using a banking app, you have all that data.

And so if you're able to understand that in there, it just gets really dark really fast.
