Crypto exchange Gemini, run by the Winklevoss twins, just quietly filed for a U.S. IPO — no public fanfare yet.
🚨Breaking News:
Gemini has confidentially filed for an IPO as crypto stocks heat up and U.S. regulation starts turning friendlier under Trump.
⚡Wire Simplified:
Gemini was founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss in 2014.
The IPO filing lets them gauge investor interest without exposing financials.
SEC recently ended its Gemini investigation with no action.
Gemini settled a CFTC case earlier this year for $5M.
It follows Circle and Galaxy Digital in pushing public listings.
✔️Straight to the Point:
Gemini wants in on Wall Street, and with Trump’s crypto-friendly stance, the Winklevii might just ride this bullish wave.

The UK’s top financial watchdog, the FCA, is now warming up to crypto — lifting a ban on crypto-linked notes.
🚨Breaking News:
FCA plans to allow crypto ETNs (exchange-traded notes) again for retail investors, aiming to boost the UK’s global crypto clout.
⚡Wire Simplified:
ETNs let people invest in crypto through regular stock exchanges.
The UK banned crypto ETNs for retail folks back in 2019.
FCA says it's time to let adults make their own risky choices.
Ban on crypto derivatives will stay, though.
UK wants to compete with the U.S. in digital finance leadership.
✔️Straight to the Point:
UK’s saying: “We trust you (a little more now).” It's a win for crypto firms and fans craving mainstream acceptance.
it's crazy that the secret to prompting AI better than 99.999% of people is just asking AI how to prompt AI

This is a common misconception among users. ChatGPT needs to just use higher numbers for smarter models. That’s it.
