Power move in crypto regulation just dropped. The White House had their CFTC pick lined up, looking like smooth sailing through Congressional approval. Then the Winklevoss twins entered the chat.

Cameron and Tyler—yeah, those Gemini founders—apparently threw enough weight around to stall the whole thing. We're talking about two guys who've been in this game since Bitcoin was a joke to most people. Now? They're influencing who gets to regulate the very markets they helped build.

No official word on what exactly they opposed or who they're backing instead. But when you can pump the brakes on a presidential nominee, that's influence. Real influence.

The CFTC oversees derivatives markets, including crypto futures. Whoever lands that seat will shape how digital assets get treated in traditional finance. And apparently, the twins have opinions on that.

Twins, this move is incredible. From being mocked to being able to hit the pause button, this is the power of hodl.

These twins really figured it out; going all-in on Bitcoin early on now gives them a voice... Stakeholders choosing regulators—this is something that's hard to explain clearly.

Ha, these two are really addicted to playing the game. From being laughed at to being able to pause a presidential nomination—what a crazy turnaround. The Winklevoss twins have directly reached into the regulatory ranks. No wonder people in the industry say their words carry weight. Just by not revealing whom they support, they can stir up such a big commotion? Now that’s what it means to truly hold discourse power. Have you thought about what it means to influence the choice for the CFTC? The future of crypto might be rewritten. That’s why those who got in early are so confident now—they’ve become a force that can’t be ignored. I bet the candidate they oppose is someone too harsh on the crypto world, since it’s tied to their own business. Twins teaming up to block a presidential nomination—sounds like big news, but also kind of absurd. This move makes me look forward to what happens next. I wonder how the White House will respond. From a joke to power brokers—if this story were made into a show, no one would believe it.

Haha, the Winklevoss twins' tactics are brilliant. From getting in early to now being able to directly control regulator appointments—this is the ultimate form of quietly making a fortune.

The twins really figured it out this time, going from being laughed at to being able to pause a presidential candidate—this is what you call overtaking on a curve. In hindsight, I should have paid more attention to those BTC era people; they've all become top influencers now. That CFTC position is indeed crucial—our future really depends on who sits there. This is the essence of crypto: in the end, it’s still about who holds more chips. But when it comes to mysterious maneuvers, I always feel like we’re the ones with the least information.

Damn, these two guys really figured it out. From being laughed at to being able to hit the pause button—this is what you call overtaking on a curve. I really want to know who they're actually targeting, it's so mysterious. Regulation was bound to have someone come and disrupt things sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be them.
