Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, co-founders of cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, explain to PoppyHarlowCNN why they are open to joining Facebook's Libra Association BossFiles
New York Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have long been known for their legal battle with Mark Zuckerberg over who invented Facebook. That was over a decade ago. Today they have made names for themselves as entrepreneurs in cryptocurrency with a company called Gemini.
"Facebook was a dispute, but it didn't really define who we were as people," Tyler Winklevoss told CNN's Poppy Harlow in an interview for the Boss Files podcast."Gemini's much more of a representation of who we are, what we stand for, what we're interested in." But it was hard to ignore their history with Zuckerberg when Facebook announced plans to enter the world of crypto with Libra, a digital coin that just so happens to also be named after a zodiac sign.

It could also make the Winklevoss brothers a valuable partner for Libra. The push for new regulations has been driven largely by the Libra announcement.
