Crypto exchange Gemini has sent $10 million worth of Bitcoin to a political action committee supporting Donald Trump, according to the source. The donation came after a joint filing involving Gemini and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), as a New York court considers whether to reverse a $5 million settlement between the exchange and the regulator.
The development is notable because it places Gemini’s political support and its regulatory dispute in the same public frame. For readers tracking crypto companies, the case highlights how exchange-regulator disagreements can overlap with broader political engagement and legal strategy.
The source says the Bitcoin donation can be used to support Trump while the court reviews the settlement. That makes the move relevant not only as a political contribution, but also as part of an ongoing regulatory case that could affect how the dispute is resolved.
Gemini, founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has been a visible participant in US crypto policy debates. The latest filing adds another chapter to the exchange’s long-running relationship with regulators and the political process.
As the court considers the settlement, the outcome may matter for how similar disputes between crypto firms and US agencies are handled. For now, the donation and the case remain tied together in a closely watched legal and political moment.
