Mariah Carey announced her partnership with the cryptocurrency platform Gemini, which aims to educate and inspire women about better investment. Founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Gemini is used to buy, sell, earn and store more than 50 cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin.

Cryptos like bitcoin and ether were two of the best performing assets of the last decade. Our goal at Gemini is to help educate you on the promise of crypto and make it simple, easy, and safe for you to engage in this new asset class.” Carey credited Gemini’s free resources for her education in better investment skills using cryptocurrency in a video on Instagram.
