History of Gemini Exchange

Gemini Exchange was established in 2014 by the twin brothers of American entrepreneurs Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss with the mentality of building a bridge from the old financial world to the future of money. Before founding Gemini, the Winklevoss brothers worked with Facebook co-founder Markuszkerberg on the ConnectU social platform project, which preceded Facebook. But the brothers claim that Mark Zuckerberg copied their source for his project. All the events related to the brothers and Mark Zuckerberg are recorded in a drama film called Social Network.

The Winklevoss brothers bought bitcoins in 2012 from the compensation they received in a lawsuit against Facebook, and now their bitcoin capital is $ 1 million. They concluded that the digital currency market needs a secure platform to buy, sell or maintain. For this reason, they decided to build and establish the Gemini exchange office.
