Gemini Sets Guinness World Record with 1,000-Drone Bitcoin Logo Display

Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has set a new Guinness World Record by orchestrating a 1,000-drone aerial display, forming the Bitcoin (BTC) logo in the sky.

This marks the largest-ever currency symbol displayed using drones, the exchange announced in a post on X.

The record-breaking event took place on March 13 in Austin, Texas, as part of Gemini’s celebration of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative.

The spectacle featured a series of visuals, including a rocket launch and a moon landing, before culminating in the iconic Bitcoin ₿ logo.

The display was accompanied by a bold message: “Go where dollars won’t.”

Gemini described the event as a celebration of Bitcoin’s role in the future of money, highlighting the increasing global acceptance of the digital currency.

Following the performance, Guinness World Records officially recognized Gemini’s achievement, awarding them a certificate for “The largest aerial display of a currency symbol formed by multirotor drones.”

Since its creation over 16 years ago, Bitcoin’s logo has undergone several transformations.

The original version, designed by Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, featured a gold coin with “BC” inscribed in the center.

In 2010, Nakamoto revised the design, replacing “BC” with the now-famous “₿” symbol.

Later that year, a Bitcoin community member known as “bitboy” introduced the final iteration, featuring an orange background with the tilted “₿” symbol—a design that remains widely recognized today.

SEC Drops Investigation into Gemini

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is scaling back its aggressive enforcement actions against the crypto industry, marking a significant shift from its previous stance under former chairman Gary Gensler.

Last week, Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss confirmed that the SEC closed its investigation into the exchange without filing any charges.

This follows the SEC’s dismissal of its probe into Robinhood Crypto on February 21 and its decision to drop its lawsuit against Coinbase.

Additionally, the regulator has announced that it has ended its investigation into Uniswap and will not pursue enforcement action.

Winklevoss pointed out that Gemini’s case lasted 699 days before being dropped, highlighting the drawn-out legal battles the industry has faced.

“This marks another milestone in the end of the war on crypto, which already includes the SEC’s withdrawal of the Coinbase lawsuit and the closing of investigations into OpenSea, Robinhood, and Uniswap,” Winklevoss stated.

The SEC has dropped its investigation against us.

This comes 699 days after the start of their investigation, and 277 days after they sent us a Wells Notice.

Gemini has always stood for thoughtful regulation. And we will continue to do so.

Amazing awaits! https://t.co/aqhNMqYb6x

However, he also criticized the SEC’s past actions, arguing that while the dismissals are a step forward, they do not undo the damage inflicted on the industry and the broader U.S. crypto ecosystem.
