‘Banksters Are Out To Kill Crypto,’ Tyler Winklevoss Slams JPMorgan
The debate over who should control—and pay for—access to US consumers’ banking data turned acrimonious after Gemini co‑founder Tyler Winklevoss claimed that JPMorgan Chase & Co. is “trying to kill fintech and crypto companies.” In an extended X thread posted late Sunday, Winklevoss charged that the nation’s largest bank wants “to take away your right to access your banking data for FREE via third‑party apps like Plaid and instead charge you and fintechs exorbitant fees.”
He warned that the proposed tolls would “bankrupt fintechs that help you link your bank accounts to crypto companies like Gemini, Coinbase, and Kraken so you can easily fund your account w/ fiat to buy bitcoin and crypto.”
