Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, has openly criticized Gary Gensler, the current chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), calling him “evil” and accusing him of intentionally damaging the cryptocurrency industry.
In a tweet, Winklevoss urged companies, universities, and organizations to avoid working with Gensler, claiming that anyone who hires or partners with him after his tenure at the SEC is betraying the crypto industry.

Winklevoss believes Gensler’s actions weren’t mistakes but a deliberate strategy to push a personal political agenda, even if it meant destroying an entire industry, costing tens of thousands of jobs, and billions in investments. He also pointed out the irony of Gensler’s actions backfiring on his own political party.
He emphasized that Gensler’s approach had serious consequences for the crypto space, which he claims has been hurt by over-regulation and biased enforcement.
Winklevoss’s message is clear: the actions of people like Gensler have far-reaching effects, and it’s time for Americans to take a stand against what he describes as the misuse of government power for political gain.
Winklevoss’s statements have stirred strong opinions, with many in the crypto industry supporting his call for change and a shift in how the government interacts with emerging technologies.
