Due to the shrinkage in market value, the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini is considering converting the Winklevoss brothers' loans into equity

Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has seen its market value shrink by over 50% this year and has laid off 30% of its staff. Internally, there are discussions about requesting founders Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss to waive the hundreds of millions of dollars in loans they provided to the company or convert the debt into equity. As of the end of December, Gemini's outstanding debt amounted to 4,619 bitcoins, valued at over $330 million at current prices.

Securities filing documents show that Gemini lost $585 million last year. Additionally, the company plans to exit the UK, EU, and Australian markets, with several executives having already left. Currently, the Winklevoss brothers hold the majority voting rights and have not yet expressed whether they support this proposal.
