Gemini Founder: Agreed on DCG and Genesis
Cameron Winklevoss, one of the Gemini founding twins, announced that a compromise has been reached on the Earn protocol with Genesis.
Assets in Earn protocol with Gemini were also affected after Genesis stopped withdrawals. Gemini claimed that these assets belonged to their users and that they be returned, but received no response. The duo, who entered the legal processes, finally managed to meet at a common point.
