ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office (FO) said on Thursday that Islamabad had no “bilateral dispute” with Kabul other than terrorism emanating from Afghan soil. “We do not have any bilateral dispute with Afghanistan except for this one issue. Terrorism emanating from Afghanistan is a major issue. So we need verifiable assurances, commitments that these acts will be stopped,” said FO spokesperson Tahir Andrabi during the weekly briefing in Islamabad. The FO spokesperson also reiterated Pakistan’s longstanding demand for Kabul to take concrete and verifiable actions against those involved in terrorism against Pakistan from the Afghan territory. During the briefing, the spokesperson clarified that Islamabad “does not wish to be hostile to Afghanistan” and Pakistan’s demand to Afghanistan “is very simple”. The spokesperson reiterated Pakistan’s demand for written assurances from the Afghan Taliban that the neighbouring country’s soil would not be used by Fitna-al-Khawarij — the term the state has designated for the bann...

Davinci Jeremie bought Bitcoin at $1 and told his followers to buy $1 worth in 2013. Now that BTC is at $100K the price no longer matters to him. Bitcoin OG Davinci Jeremie is best known for buying Bitcoin in 2011 at $1, so it may come as a surprise that he barely seemed to care when the assets price reached $100,000. A 100,000x return would have most people jumping up and down with joy, but Jeremie was already fully content seven years earlier. The major change for me came at $20K, so after that, I pretty much stayed the same, Jeremie tells Magazine. Bitcoin reached $100,000 in December 2024, pretty much bang on seven years after it first reached $20,000 in December 2017. Read more

Nvidia’s Vera Rubin slashes AI costs, challenging decentralized GPU networks like Render that thrive on scarce and underused computing power. Computing powerhouse Nvidia’s Rubin platform can cut the cost of running advanced AI models, a claim that challenges crypto networks built to monetize scarce GPU compute. Officially launched Monday at CES 2026, Rubin is Nvidia’s new computing architecture that improves the efficiency of training and running AI models. It is deployed as a system of six co-designed chips — branded under the Vera Rubin name in honor of the American astronomer Vera Florence Cooper Rubin — and is now in “full production,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said. For crypto projects built on the assumption that compute stays scarce, those gains can challenge the economics behind their models. Read more

China’s move to pay interest on the digital yuan is colliding with the GENIUS Act’s ban on stablecoin yields, intensifying questions over whether US digital dollars can remain competitive. China’s move to let banks pay interest on digital yuan wallets from Jan. 1 is sharpening the debate in Washington over whether United States dollar stablecoins are being left structurally uncompetitive by the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act’s ban on yields.  The move allows China’s commercial banks to pay interest on balances held in e‑CNY wallets, with officials framing it as a way to better integrate the central bank digital currency (CBDC) into bank balance sheets. ​Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong warned in an X post on Wednesday that the decision gives China a “competitive advantage” over US dollar stablecoins and has a “big impact on whether US stablecoins are competitive.” Read more
