Cypriot Dancer Dinos Kkanti Sets New Guinness World Record

Dinos Kkanti, a talented dancer from Cyprus, has once again grabbed the spotlight by setting a new Guinness World Record for balancing 416 glasses on his head during the traditional glass dance. This performance took place in the vibrant Apostolos Loukas square in Aradippou.

With an accomplishment that has surpassed the previous record of 319 glasses, Kkanti dedicates this emotional and triumphant feat to his late brother Zacharias, capturing the spirit of community and perseverance. Amidst the joyous crowd and live folk music, Kkanti declared, “I’ve turned a dream into reality.”

Part of a larger Easter event organized by the Aradippou municipality, the performance featured music and traditional dances, drawing notable artists like Andri Karantoni and Michalis Hadjimichael. Aradippou’s mayor, Christodoulos Partos, lauded the occasion as a “double celebration” for both Kkanti’s dream realization and the honor it brings to Aradippou.

While initial reports suggested as many as 468 glasses balanced, the final tally is pending verification by the Guinness team. This achievement highlights the vibrant cultural and artistic essence thriving in Cyprus.

SEC Drops Lawsuit Against Gemini: A Major Turning Point In Crypto Regulation

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The Securities and Exchange Commission has formally withdrawn its lawsuit against Gemini, the prominent crypto exchange founded by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.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.
