In 1977, when an alliance of anti-government parties kicked off a protest movement against alleged fraud in the elections, the then prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto made a television address in which he thumped the chair he was sitting on and declared, “Ye kursi bohat mazboot hai [This chair is very strong].” A few days later, a furniture brand known for its chairs, Chairman, released a press ad with the caption, “Humari kursi sab se mazboot hai [Our chair is the strongest].” That one press ad put the brand smack dab in the middle of a political discourse that was raging at the time. Some understood the ad as mocking Bhutto, while others believed it was supporting him. The brand was doing neither. It was simply trying to gain some relevance during a time when a majority of Pakistanis were split into two camps and politics was all they were talking about. Uncannily, Chairman did something that was ahead of its time. There is now enough evidence that in today’s polarised societies, consumer brands and their a...

Brazil scraps crypto tax exemption for small traders, enforces flat 17.5% rate across all gains, including self-custody and offshore holdings. Brazil has ended its tax exemption for small-scale crypto profits, introducing a 17.5% flat rate on all capital gains from digital assets. The new rule was announced under Provisional Measure 1303 as part of the government’s push to raise revenue through financial market taxation. Until now, Brazilian residents who sold up to 35,000 Brazilian reals (roughly $6,300) in crypto assets per month were exempt from income tax. Gains beyond that were taxed progressively, starting at 15% and reaching as high as 22.5% for volumes above 30 million Brazilian reals. The new flat rate, which went into effect starting June 12, removes all exemptions and applies equally to all investors regardless of the size of their transactions, according to a report by local news outlet Portal do Bitcoin.

Seven people, including a toddler, were killed on Sunday in India when a helicopter ferrying Hindu pilgrims from a shrine crashed in the Himalayas, officials said. The fatal accident comes as relatives mourn at least 279 people killed when a passenger plane slammed into a residential area in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad on Thursday. The helicopter crash left the pilot and all six passengers dead when their chopper came down during the flight from Kedarnath temple, in Uttarakhand state, disaster response official Nandan Singh Rajwar told AFP. The state’s chief minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami, said rescue teams had been dispatched to the scene after the “very sad news”. The crash was likely caused by bad weather, according to district tourism official Rahul Chaubey. Pilgrims flock to Kedarnath temple during the summer when it is possible to access the site, which stands at an altitude of 3,584 metres. A cottage industry of helicopter charter firms has developed to serve wealthy pilgrims who want to visit ...

• CM says plan to manage Sindh’s projects from Islamabad will not work • Inaugurates second phase of first segment of Shahrah-i-Bhutto KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has warned the PML-N government that the PPP will not support the passage of the federal budget in parliament if Islamabad continues to manage development schemes in Sindh instead of transferring them to the provincial government. Although the PPP is not part of the federal cabinet, it is a major coalition partner of the PML-N government and without its support the passage of the federal budget in the National Assembly is not possible. Speaking at a programme held to inaugurate the second phase of the first complete segment of the Malir Expressway, renamed as Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Expressway / Shahrah-i-Bhutto, on Saturday, the CM strongly criticised the federal government, accusing it of discriminating against Sindh and treating the province like a colony. “The federal government has wronged us. They have dissolved the P...

The CEO of Circle, which recently debuted on the New York Stock Exchange, predicts it won’t be long before stablecoins reach the level of developer attraction that the iPhone achieved. While stablecoins have yet to attract developers at the same scale as Apple’s iPhone, stablecoin issuer Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire suggests that breakthrough moment isn’t far off. “We are not quite yet at the iPhone moment when developers everywhere realize the power and opportunity of programmable digital dollars on the internet in the same way they saw the unlock of programmable mobile devices. Soon,” Allaire said in a post on Saturday. “The highest utility form of money ever created,” he added. Read more
