- Tyler Winklevoss confirmed the launch of free XRP-focused algorithms on Gemini, developed by Arch Public to help users increase their holdings.
- The move sparked mixed reactions, with Ripple CTO David Schwartz urging caution and John Deaton defending the tool’s legitimacy.
In a surprising development that has stirred both excitement and skepticism in the crypto world, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss has confirmed the launch of free algorithmic tools specifically designed for XRP holders.
Developed by Arch Public, a crypto automation firm with a focus on democratizing finance, the algorithms aim to level the playing field for investors—particularly those holding XRP and Bitcoin. The initiative was publicly endorsed by attorney John E. Deaton, a prominent voice in the XRP community, who revealed he had begun using Gemini’s platform to deploy the algorithms. Deaton claims the tools can help users generate a “cash yield” by increasing their XRP holdings.

However, the announcement sparked mixed reactions across the crypto space. While some hailed the move as a game-changing step toward accessible investing, others questioned the integrity and effectiveness of the algorithms. Critics dismissed the tools as “garbage” and “inaccurate,” with some accusing Winklevoss of hypocrisy for backing XRP after previously criticizing Ethereum.
Tyler’s twin brother and Gemini co-founder, Cameron Winklevoss, also celebrated the release of the “free algos,” only to be met with similar backlash. Some users even speculated whether Tyler’s social media accounts had been compromised.
Adding to the tension, Ripple CTO David Schwartz issued a public warning, urging the community to proceed with caution. He expressed concern that the promotion of the algorithms seemed “wrong in several ways,” and called for users to verify the authenticity of the announcements.
In response, Deaton stood firm. He reiterated his commitment to opening up financial opportunities for everyday investors and confirmed that there had been no security breaches on his or Gemini’s end. To clear the air, Deaton announced he would go live on X to address concerns directly.
As the dust settles, the crypto world watches closely. Whether this move represents a new frontier in retail crypto investing or a cautionary tale in overhyped innovation remains to be seen.
