JPMorgan Chase has reportedly paused the re-opening of Gemini customer accounts, prompting Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss to accuse the bank of retaliatory action. Winklevoss claims the decision followed his criticism of JPMorgan's fees charged to fintech companies for accessing customer banking data. According to Winklevoss, the halting of onboarding occurred soon after his social media post criticizing JPMorgan's practices. He also referenced a past instance where JPMorgan allegedly offboarded Gemini as part of "Operation Choke Point 2.0," a U.S. government initiative aimed at limiting cryptocurrency companies' access to banking services. Winklevoss asserts that Gemini will continue to voice concerns against anti-competitive behavior. The move raises questions about the relationship between traditional financial institutions and the evolving cryptocurrency industry. The incident highlights ongoing tensions and regulatory scrutiny surrounding the digital asset space. ```
