The physical Bitcoin collectibles were minted when Bitcoin was trading for just $3.88 and $11.69 each, marking a massive potential return. Two long-dormant Casascius coins — each backed by 1,000 Bitcoin — have just been activated as of Friday, unlocking more than $179 million stashed away for more than 13 years.  Onchain data indicates that one of the Casascius coins was minted in October 2012, when Bitcoin was trading for $11.69.  The other was minted earlier in December 2011, when Bitcoin was valued at only $3.88, giving that Casascius coin a theoretical return of about 2.3 million percent, not including the cost of minting.  Read more

ISLAMABAD: The planned relocation of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to its old premises in the congested Sector G-10 has been put on hold, as the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) — which earlier sought to retain the IHC building on Constitution Avenue as its principal seat — is now preparing to move to the Federal Shariat Court (FSC). Sources confirmed that shifting of FCC record to the FSC building will begin today (Saturday), though it may take several days to fully transfer files, systems and administrative units. IHC Bar President Syed Wajid Ali Gillani and Secretary Manzoor Ahmed Jajja held multiple meetings with Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar to convey their concerns. The law minister had recently said that a decision regarding relocation would be made only after consulting lawyers’ bodies. Once keen on retaining the prized Constitution Avenue premises of the Islamabad High Court, the newly formed court will begin the process of shifting its record today Initially, the FCC was supposed to establish it...

Для многих знакомство с имбирем начиналось с рождественского печенья или имбирных пряничных домиков. Но вне праздничных воспоминаний имбирь остается популярной специей в течение всего года — и недаром. Он не только придает блюдам пикантный вкус, но и может принести немало пользы здоровью.

Strive CEO Matt Cole has urged the MSCI to “let the market decide” whether they want to include Bitcoin-holding companies in their passive investments. Nasdaq-listed Strive, the 14th-largest publicly-listed Bitcoin treasury firm, has urged MSCI to reconsider its proposed exclusion of major Bitcoin holding companies from its indexes.  In a letter to MSCI’s chairman and CEO, Henry Fernandez, Strive argued that excluding companies whose digital asset holdings comprise more than 50% of total assets would reduce passive investors’ exposure to growth sectors and would fail to capture companies it intends to. Losing a spot in MSCI indexes could be a significant blow to digital asset treasury firms. JPMorgan analysts had earlier warned that Strategy, a Bitcoin treasury firm listed in the MSCI World Index, could lose $2.8 billion if MSCI moves ahead with the proposal.  Read more

• Pakistani users trade over $250bn in crypto annually, Binance reveals • Around 17.5m Pakistanis registered on platform, holding $5bn in virtual assets • Banks flag security, compliance concerns over crypto integration ISLAMABAD: The government said on Friday it was considering a “time-bound amn­esty” for cryptocurrency traders, as local banks raised risk and compliance concerns amid more than $250 billion in annual crypto trading reportedly conducted by Pakistani users. Officials floated the idea at a high-level consultative meeting after a top global cryptocurrency exchange argued that virtual assets could boost Pakistan’s GDP. “These virtual assets should be considered as part of liquid money supply (M-1) … virtual assets collateralisation will help increase M-1” because these are highly visible and dependable, a Binance team member told the meeting, co-chaired by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and Pakistan Virtual Assets Regu­latory Authority (PVARA) Chairman Bilal Bin Saqib. The meeting had been ar...

• National Security Strategy references his repeated claims about planes shot down during May war • Presents him as ‘President of Peace’, claims he helped secure peace in eight global conflicts • Identifies China as central challenge; calls for deeper US engagement with India WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump’s role in arranging a peace deal between India and Pakistan received a mention in the White House’s National Security Strategy (NSS) released on Friday, even as the document largely focuses on China. The mention carries particular significance because the NSS is a formal statement of the administration’s policy priorities and global assessment. Highlighting Trump’s diplomacy in South Asia underscores Washington’s intention to boost its influence in the region and lends credibility to his intervention claims. “President Trump has cemented his legacy as the President of Peace. In addition to the remarkable success achieved during his first term with the historic Abraham Accords, President Trump has lev...

• Rana Sanaullah says party still not ready to come to the table • Alarm raised over alleged breach of privacy by FBR ISLAMABAD: After a fiery speech in the Senate by a PTI-backed lawmaker, deploring the absence of rule of law and an unannounced ban on meetings with incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan, the ruling party once again held out an olive branch to the PTI, reassuring it that all issues could be resolved through dialogue. Speaking in the upper house of parliament on Friday, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Poli­tical and Public Affairs Rana Sana­ullah said the PTI had always rejected the path of negotiations, even though all issues could be reso­lved through dialogue rather than deadlock. He said the government was ready to hold a dialogue with the opposition to take the country forward, but the PTI leadership remained unwilling. The remarks came after PTI Senator Mashal Yousafzai chided two ministers over the claim that VVIP facilities were available to Imran Khan in jail. She demanded tha...

The Foreign Office (FO) said on Friday that the continued absence of a top Turkish delegation meant to mediate tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan was due to a lack of cooperation from the Taliban regime. Turkiye, one of the mediators alongside Qatar, recently hosted multiple rounds of talks between Islamabad and Kabul following an escalation of tensions between the two neighbours over the past weeks. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had earlier signalled plans to send a delegation to Islamabad, but the visit has not materialised. The Turkiye-Qatar effort had produced a fragile ceasefire, though the FO spokesperson said the truce had faltered because it was “contingent on a halt in terrorist activities”. Questioned in his weekly press briefing about the lack of a visit thus far from the Turkish delegation, the FO spokesperson responded: “Pakistan was open, and stands ready. And I believe that the delegation has not arrived because of scheduling issues, and perhaps by a lack of cooperation from the...
