'We will never stop fighting for…': Billionaire Tyler Winklevoss to JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon for 'rejecting' his crypto exchange

Billionaire co-founder of US-based cryptocurrency exchange Gemini , Tyler Winklevoss , has once again taken a dig at JPMorgan Chase. The latest jibe comes after JP Morgan allegedly paused the onboarding of his crypto exchange as a customer due to his recent public remarks against the bank on the social media platform X. All this started last week after Winklevoss shared a Bloomberg report that claimed JP Morgan has decided to start charging fintech companies for accessing its customers’ bank account information. In this X post, the crypto billionaire shared his concern, noting that this action would “bankrupt fintechs” that help consumers connect their bank accounts to exchanges like Gemini to purchase bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.


What Winklevoss said to JP Morgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon


In his recent post, Winklevoss named JP Morgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon and wrote: “My tweet from last week struck a nerve. This week, JPMorgan told us that because of it, they were pausing their re-onboarding of @Gemini as a customer after they off-boarded us during Operation ChokePoint 2.0. They want us to stay silent while they quietly try to take away your right to access YOUR banking data for free through third-party fintechs like @Plaid.

Sorry, Jamie Dimon, we're not going to stay silent. We will continue to call out this anti-competitive, rent-seeking behaviour and immoral attempt to bankrupt fintech and crypto companies. We will never stop fighting for what is right! 🇺🇸”

Last week, sharing the report revealing JP Morgan’s decision to charge fintechs for its customer details, he wrote: “JPMorgan and the banksters are trying to kill fintech and crypto companies. They want to take away your right to access your banking data for FREE via-third party apps like @Plaid and instead charge you and fintechs exorbitant fees to access YOUR DATA. This will bankrupt fintechs that help you link your bank accounts to crypto companies like @Gemini, @coinbase, and @krakenfx so you can easily fund your account w/ fiat to buy bitcoin and crypto.

As of today, the ‘ Open Banking Rule ’ developed pursuant to Section 1033 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act gives you the right to access you banking data via 3rd party apps. The banksters are suing the CFPB to vacate the Open Banking Rule and end the open banking era. This is the kind of egregious regulatory capture that kills innovation, hurts the American consumer, and is bad for America.

Jamie Dimon and his cronies are trying to undercut President Trump's mandate to make America the pro innovation and the crypto capital of the world. We must fight back! 🇺🇸”
