The action is a reflection of the crypto community\u2019s mounting annoyance with what they see as excessive regulation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Winklevoss Echoes Armstrong\u2019s Stance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In a November 5 post on X, Winklevoss reinforced Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong\u2019s position. Armstrong had criticized law firms and industry players for employing ex-SEC officials tied to what he called anti-crypto policies. Winklevoss went a step further, requesting a \u201crunning list\u201d of such individuals and pledging Gemini would adopt a similar approach.<\/p>\n<p>Coinbase recently cut ties with global law firm Milbank after it hired Gurbir Grewal, the SEC\u2019s former Director of Enforcement. Grewal, a central figure in over 100 enforcement actions, stepped down shortly before the SEC\u2019s appeal in its high-profile case against Ripple. This resignation raised speculation about internal discord within the regulatory agency.<\/p>\n<p>Critics across the crypto space have scrutinized the SEC\u2019s actions, particularly its appeal against Ripple. Attorney Jeremy Hogan argued the appeal could weaken the SEC\u2019s influence if it failed. Armstrong has also been vocal, accusing the SEC of attempting to stifle crypto innovation through ambiguous regulations and aggressive enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong emphasized that while he doesn\u2019t advocate for \u201ccanceling people permanently,\u201d he believes those complicit in the SEC\u2019s controversial tactics should not benefit from the industry they sought to regulate. Winklevoss shares this sentiment, positioning Gemini alongside Coinbase in a broader industry pushback.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
