US banking giant JPMorgan has reportedly suspended its customer onboarding process with cryptocurrency exchange Gemini. This decision comes on the heels of a social media post by Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss, in which he accused the bank of “trying to kill fintech and crypto companies.” In another post today, Winklevoss alleged that JPMorgan canceled Gemini’s re-acceptance process because of a previous tweet by Winklevoss.
