- Gemini founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss transferred approximately $130 million in Bitcoin to the exchange’s hot wallets over the past week, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham.
- Arkham speculated the transfers were “presumably to sell,” while others suggested they could be for purposes like exchange liquidity or OTC transfers.
- The twins still hold roughly $764 million in BTC, with estimated total profits on their Bitcoin holdings around $1.8 billion.
Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have moved tens of millions in Bitcoin, sparking speculation about their intentions as the cryptocurrency trades near recent highs. According to a report by blockchain analytics platform Arkham, approximately $130 million worth of BTC was transferred from wallets associated with the twins to Gemini‘s hot wallets over the past week. Arkham stated this activity suggested potential sell-side positioning.
However, the purpose of the transfers remains unconfirmed, as sending assets to an exchange’s own wallets can serve multiple operational functions. Commenters on Arkham’s post suggested the moves might be for over-the-counter (OTC) transfers, custody rebalancing, or providing liquidity on the platform. Consequently, the transfers do not necessarily equate to immediate spot selling.
Meanwhile, Gemini has undergone significant changes recently. In February, the exchange laid off a quarter of its staff and exited the European and Australian markets. It also announced a pivot to focus on its prediction market plans and drive efficiency gains through AI-powered process streamlining. Following this news, Gemini’s stock price experienced volatility, dropping sharply but later rebounding from its late-February lows to around $8.71, according to market data from Yahoo! Finance.
