“Gemini Space Station, the crypto exchange founded and led by the Winklevoss brothers, saw shares surge in extended trading after it announced a $100 million capital injection from Winklevoss Capital Fund”
DISPUTED
While multiple sources confirm a $100 million injection from the Winklevoss brothers, they contradict each other on the nature of the funds: one source calls it a 'lifeline', another a 'loan', and another 'borrowed'. The claim describes it as a 'capital injection' (equity), but the evidence suggests it may be debt.
