Gemini Goes Wall Street: Crypto Exchange Poaches Brad Vopni to Woo Big Money
Another day, another crypto firm playing dress-up as a ’serious’ financial institution. Gemini—the Winklevoss twins’ brainchild—just hired Brad Vopni, a traditional finance heavyweight, to spearhead its institutional push. Because nothing screams ’decentralized revolution’ like courting hedge funds that still fax trade confirmations.
Vopni’s hire signals Gemini’s desperate bid for legitimacy in a sector where regulators treat crypto like a rebellious teen. Will it work? Maybe. But let’s be real—Wall Street only loves blockchain when it can slap a suit on it.
