The digital dating giant Tinder has agreed to pay millions of dollars to settle a lawsuit accusing it of discriminating against users based on their age.

According a newly updated settlement administrator’s portal, Tinder will pay $60.5 million to settle allegations that it charged higher prices to older users in California.

The class action lawsuit, which was filed in May of 2015, alleged that Tinder’s practice of charging higher prices to older users violated California’s laws.

After attorneys’ fees, litigation and other administrative costs are deducted, around $39.72 million will be shared among Tinder subscribers who were affected over a period of roughly four years.

“If you purchased Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold in California at any time between March 2, 2015, when you were over the age of 29 (or any time after March 2, 2016, when you were over the age of 28), and February 10, 2019, you may be a member of the class.”

The sum that each settlement class member will receive will be determined by dividing the court-approved net settlement amount by the number of participating claimants. The figure will also be determined by the amount each individual paid as a subscription fee for either Tinder Gold or Tinder Plus.

To receive a payment, the settlement class members are required to inform the settlement administrator of their preferred payment method by August 18th.

The final approval hearing will be held on May 20th.

Despite agreeing to the settlement, the court has not decided the lawsuit either in favor of Tinder or the plaintiffs.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
