How Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are cementing America’s crypto golden age
Investors Tyler and Camerson Winklevoss scored a series of compliments from President Donald Trump for their commitment to advancing the cryptocurrency industry.
Things have never been better for the U.S. crypto industry, and the Winklevoss twins, Tyler and Cameron, have a roadmap to keep it that way after donating $21 million in bitcoin to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC, which supports pro-crypto candidates.
“The midterms are critical to keeping the American Golden Age going. What we know from history is that the Democrats will resort to bad faith tactics and lawfare if they win back control of the House and the Senate,” Tyler told FOX Business Digital.

That’s just the beginning of a thoughtful plan to advance actions by President Trump’s crypto-friendly administration which has snuffed out the naysayers most prevalent throughout Biden’s term, including former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler.
“The Trump Administration has been incredible for our industry. It ended the war on crypto and Gary Gensler’s attacks and lawfare against us. It has also repealed a lot of guidance, rulemaking, and bulletins that made it impossible for many market participants to do business in crypto” he explained.

Last month, Trump signed a “historic piece of legislation that will pave the way for the United States to lead the global digital currency revolution” coined the GENIUS ACT, outlined by the White House. The brothers, on hand for the signing, earned a shoutout from the President.

Current Securities and Exchange Commissioner Paul Atkins and White House A.I. and crypto czar David Sacks are also getting high marks from the brothers for steering the industry, but more organized and strategic work is necessary to keep the U.S. competitive, he added.

“The President’s Working Group Report and Project Crypto show us what’s already possible. By leaning into existing exemptive authority and taking a technology neutral approach to crypto, the SEC and CFTC are already opening their doors to crypto today. Crypto should not be, and does not need to be, held to a double standard” Tyler explained.
