The latest data from Cystat highlights a noteworthy 1.6% increase in the Transport and Storage Turnover Value Index for January through December 2024 compared to the previous year. This demonstrates the sector’s resilience and adaptability in Cyprus.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the index achieved 142.4 points (base year 2021=100) with a notable 2.2% year-on-year growth. Several sub-sectors recorded impressive increases:

Air Transport: Experienced a significant boost of 22.5%.
Postal and Courier Activities: Gained 10.8%.
Land Transport: Improved by 7.1%.

To understand the broader economic effect, it’s interesting to compare these trends against Cyprus’ overall economic landscape. For instance, 2024 was also a groundbreaking year for the island’s tourism sector, boasting a €3.2 billion revenue intake.

SEC Dismisses Legal Action Against Gemini

The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally withdrawn its lawsuit against Gemini, the prominent crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. The move follows a joint court filing in which both the regulator and Gemini sought dismissal of the case that centered on the collapse of the Gemini Earn investment product, a debacle that left investors without access to their funds for 18 months.

Settlement And Regulatory Reassessment

In a significant development, a 2024 settlement between New York and Gemini ensured that investors recovered one hundred percent of their crypto assets loaned through the Gemini Earn program. The legal reprieve comes on the heels of actions initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who accused Gemini of defrauding investors.

Political Backdrop And Industry Implications

This dismissal reinforces a broader trend of regulatory leniency toward the crypto sector noted during the Trump administration, which saw the SEC dismiss, pause, or reduce penalties in more than 60 percent of its pending crypto lawsuits. Meanwhile, Gemini’s recent public offering filing underscores its ambitions to solidify its status as a major player in the evolving digital asset market.
