Crypto Staking Platform News: Winklevoss Threatens Lawsuit

Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss has taken a firm stance against a crypto-staking platform Digital Currency Group (DCG), and its CEO Barry Silbert, issued a request to settle the ongoing dispute or face legal action.

In his second open letter to Silbert this year, Winklevoss expressed frustration with the alleged delays in resolving the matter concerning Gemini’s 232,000 Earn users. He accused Silbert of abusing the mediation process and causing unnecessary delays.

Gemini claims that approximately $1.2 billion in cryptocurrency is still owed to its Earn users since the collapse of Genesis, a crypto-staking platform, earlier this year. Winklevoss has set a deadline for Silbert to accept Gemini’s “best and final offer” by 4 pm ET on July 6, warning that failure to do so will result in a lawsuit filed on July 7.
