Winklevoss twins and co-founders of Gemini, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, have voiced their concerns over Vice President Kamala Harris‘ absence from a recent crypto roundtable.
Despite her purported interest in the industry, Harris’s continued absence from such events has raised questions among key figures in the cryptocurrency world.
Kamala Harris’s Engagement Questioned
Cameron Winklevoss addressed the situation on social media, stating, “Harris is a no-show again for the latest crypto roundtable. But don’t worry, she’s really into crypto. She gets it. Progress is being made. We just can’t point to anything at this time.”
His brother, Tyler Winklevoss, supported this sentiment, emphasizing Harris’s lack of involvement in crypto-related matters.

The roundtable, which featured participants such as US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo and National Economic Council director Lael Brainard, was meant to strengthen dialogue between the government and cryptocurrency stakeholders. However, Harris’s absence has cast doubt on the administration’s commitment to the industry.
Ongoing Criticism From The Winklevoss Twins
The Winklevoss twins have consistently expressed disappointment with the Biden administration’s approach to cryptocurrency.
Last month, Tyler Winklevoss criticized Harris for declining an invitation to speak at The Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, further fueling concerns about the administration’s stance.
Political Impact and the Future of Cryptocurrency
As the Democratic cryptocurrency lobby launches a “Crypto for Harris” group to support her campaign, questions linger over whether political figures will deliver on their promises regarding cryptocurrency regulation. The skepticism surrounding their involvement reflects broader uncertainty in the industry.
