Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss believes that if the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) expands its custody rules, Gemini will qualify as a custodian.
In a Twitter thread, Winklevoss stated that Gemini Trust Company is a New York trust company that has acted as a fiduciary and qualified custodian under New York Banking Law since 2015.
He also mentioned that the company is subject to the same evaluations as banks and complies with capital, BSA/AML, and cybersecurity requirements.
