Co-founders of the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/exchange/gemini-exchange-review/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gemini crypto exchange</a>, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, recently made headlines by pledging <a href="https://coinpedia.org/crypto-live-news/gemini-founders-donate-2m-in-bitcoin-to-support-donald-trump/">$2 million</a> in Bitcoin donations ($1 million each) to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. However, this significant contribution exceeded federal legal limits. Each twin’s donation, amounting to 15.47 BTC, surpassed the individual campaign contribution cap of $844,600. 
As a result, the Trump campaign had to refund the excess to comply with campaign finance regulations.

Their support for Trump also served as a critique of President Joe Biden’s administration. The twins accused the current administration of fostering hostility towards the crypto sector and stifling innovation through excessive regulations.
