SEC drops lawsuit against Winklevoss twins’ Gemini crypto exchange. The SEC has dropped its lawsuit against Gemini, a crypto exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, following a settlement that returned full funds to investors affected by the Gemini Earn product collapse.

The SEC’s retreat signals a policy pivot: if a state deal makes customers whole, Washington may drop securities claims, shrinking federal reach over yield-bearing crypto accounts. Gemini’s 18-month, 100% payback in 2024 becomes the template, foreshadowing more case dismissals.

Canucks LOSS 4-5 vs New Jersey. Vancouver Canucks loss against the New Jersey Devils with a final score of 4-5. Home game at Rogers Arena.

Depth did the scoring—Blueger’s shorthanded marker, Karlsson’s bump to a dozen on the year, rookie Zeev Buium’s first NHL strike, and Boeser’s 13th that now ties Pettersson for the club lead—but the 5-4 loss drops Vancouver to 17-29-5 with a –51 differential. Buium’s glimpse of future offense is encouraging, yet with 188 goals against the season-long verdict stands: secondary scoring is arriving, defensive structure isn’t, and that keeps the Canucks cemented in eighth place.
