Winklevoss Twins Warn that ‘Crypto War’ Could Damage the Democratic Party
Crypto billionaire Cameron Winklevoss has expressed concerns about the ongoing clash between Senator Elizabeth Warren and SEC Chain Gary Gensler against the cryptocurrency industry, warning that it could have negative consequences for the Democratic party.
In a tweet on Saturday, Winklevoss stated, in simpler terms, that Warren and Gensler’s aggressive stance on crypto could alienate an entire generation of potential Democratic supporters. This assertion was supported by a CNN article, which highlighted the significant role played by younger Americans in the Democratic party’s success during the midterm elections.
According to the report, Democrats heavily relied on the support of voters under the age of 45, winning them by a margin of 13 points. In contrast, they lost voters aged 45 and older by 10 points. Cameron Winklevoss emphasized the importance of winning the youth vote, as it is a crucial part of the Democratic party’s strategy for electoral success.
The @SenWarren and @GaryGensler war against crypto is going to alienate an entire generation of would-be Democrats.
Winning the youth vote w/ "get out the vote" is key part of Dem playbook.

However, he pointed out that the recent increase in regulatory scrutiny surrounding cryptocurrencies could have a detrimental impact on the Democratic party’s ability to secure the youth vote. Many Millennials and members of Generation Z, who strongly support crypto, may view the actions of Warren and Gensler as a threat. Winklevoss mentioned that these young individuals are not debating the merits of crypto but rather discussing where and what to build next. Additionally, he highlighted that millions have invested their life savings into cryptocurrencies, making them particularly sensitive to any perceived value destruction caused by the actions of Warren and Gensler.
Winklevoss concluded that Democrats are underestimating the potential negative consequences of their actions on the youth vote in the upcoming election cycle. His twin brother, Tyler Winklevoss, who co-founded the Gemini crypto exchange with him, echoed these concerns in a separate tweet, drawing a parallel to the impact of the Roe v. Wade decision on Republicans during the midterms. Tyler stated that the aggressive approach of Warren and Gensler towards the crypto industry could cost the Democrats the 2024 election.
