The US Securities and Exchange Commission agreed to dismiss its lawsuit against the Winklevoss twins’ crypto exchange after investors recovered all assets. Regulators cited the full repayment of Gemini Earn customers through the Genesis Global Capital bankruptcy in mid-2024. The move reflects a friendlier regulatory approach toward cryptocurrencies under President Donald Trump, who pledged broader support for digital assets. The SEC stressed that the dismissal does not affect other enforcement actions. Gemini later posted a strong Nasdaq debut and is now valued at $1.14bn.

Google’s AI Overviews feature most often cites YouTube when answering health-related search queries, according to a new study that has raised concerns about the reliability of information shown to billions of users each month.

Japan is developing the L0 Series, a magnetic-levitation train designed to reach speeds of up to 603.5km/h, making it the fastest train ever built. The project is being led by Central Japan Railway Company and will run on the new Chūō Shinkansen line. If completed, the L0 Series would cut travel times dramatically: Tokyo to Nagoya in about 40 minutes, and eventually Tokyo to Osaka in roughly one hour. By comparison, Europe’s fastest services — such as France’s TGV and Italy’s AGV Italo — operate at around 300–350km/h. The speed comes from maglev technology, which lifts the train above the…

TikTok has finalized a deal that guarantees the app will continue operating in the United States. The company announced the agreement on Thursday, ending years of political and legal uncertainty. The deal resolves a long-standing conflict between Washington and Beijing. The dispute began during Donald Trump’s first presidency, when he attempted to ban TikTok over national security concerns. US law threatened to block the app in January 2025 unless ByteDance sold its American operations. Trump delayed enforcement several times after returning to office. The main issue involved TikTok’s recommendation algorithm. Under the agreement, American owners now license the system, which…

Influencers linked to the online “manosphere” are convincing healthy young men that normal changes in mood, energy or libido signal low testosterone, according to a study in Social Science and Medicine. Researchers analysed popular posts on TikTok and Instagram, finding that routine testosterone testing is often promoted as essential to masculinity, despite being medically unnecessary for most young men. The study’s lead author, from the University of Copenhagen, said normal life experiences were frequently framed as health problems, fuelling demand for tests and treatments with limited evidence of benefit. Experts warned this “medicalisation of masculinity” risks unnecessary treatment and side-effects,…
