Winklevoss twins to apply for UAE virtual asset licence – The National

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the billionaire founders of Gemini, are looking at the UAE as a potential Middle East hub for their crypto exchange and will soon apply for a virtual asset licence in the Emirates.

The twins – who each have a net worth of $1.2 billion, according to Forbes estimates – have not yet decided where to base their crypto company in the UAE.

However, it could be Abu Dhabi or Dubai – or potentially both, they told The National on Wednesday.
