Binance’s new Junior app aims to bring supervised crypto use to minors, prompting both praise for early education and criticism of child targeting. Binance has launched Binance Junior, a parent-controlled crypto app for users ages 6 to 17, in a move that sparked debate over introducing digital assets to minors. The company announced Wednesday that Binance Junior is a standalone mobile app linked to a parent’s primary Binance account. The tool allows adults to deposit crypto, set spending and transfer limits and enable Earn products for their kids, depending on local regulations.  Binance framed the new product as a family-focused financial literacy tool. It mirrors traditional custodial accounts, where children can hold assets while parents remain the legal owners and control permissions.  Read more

The crypto industry in Japan is poised for a surge in growth among retail investors, observers say, as the government plans to introduce a moderate 20% tax. A new, more moderate tax on digital assets in Japan is projected to make crypto more appealing to retail investors. Lawmakers in the National Diet, Japan’s legislature, reportedly support a proposal from the country’s financial watchdog, the Financial Services Agency (FSA), that would lower taxes on crypto. The rate would decrease from a maximum of 55% to 20%, aligning the taxation regime more closely with traditional assets and securities. Relaxing the tax code reflects a growing trend of the government moderating its stance toward crypto in Japan. From a relative gray zone to strict regulations, to becoming part of a national growth plan, the government has gradually recognized crypto as part of the financial industry. Read more

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Wednesday that bidding for Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) would be held on December 23 with a live media broadcast. The government has been seeking to sell a 51-100 per cent stake in the struggling national airline to raise funds and reform cash-draining, state-owned enterprises as envisaged under a $7 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme.

Author Neal Stephenson mapped out how uncensorable, cryptographic digital currency could work more than a decade before Bitcoin was invented. Author Neal Stephenson famously invented the term “Metaverse” with the publication of Snow Crash in 1992 a year before the World Wide Web or Doom even launched. But for crypto fans, his fictional depictions of early versions of Bitcoin more than a decade before it was invented are even better reasons to celebrate his work. In his 1995 novel The Diamond Age he described an anonymous peer-to-peer communication system that could transfer money. A short story he published in TIME that same year called The Great Simoleon Caper explored a private, cryptographic digital currency using private keys called CryptoCredits. His most in-depth work detailing a plan to set up money outside of the control of the state was the 1999 doorstopper opus Cryptonomicon, whose title was partly inspired by the Cyphernomicon FAQ.
