China is concerned about recent border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan and has asked the two countries to protect their nationals and investments in the region, Beijing’s foreign ministry said on Monday. Intense border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan started late on Saturday night and continued into Sunday morning. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said that 23 Pakistani troops were martyred and 200 Taliban and affiliated terrorists were killed when Islamabad responded to aggression by Kabul. Afghanistan claimed it carried out the attack as a “retaliatory” measure, accusing Islamabad of conducting air strikes in its territory earlier this week. For its part, Islamabad has not confirmed whether it was behind the air strikes but maintains that Kabul should “stop harbouring the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan on its soil”. In response to Islamabad’s repeated calls to bar terrorists from using its territory for cross-border attacks, Afghanistan denies the allegation of allowing terrorist out...

A sovereign crypto fund surprised markets by making its first investment in BNB, rather than Bitcoin. This is a big, bold move in Kazakhstan’s strategy. Kazakhstan has launched the Alem Crypto Fund, a state-backed initiative aimed at building long-term digital asset reserves. Managed by Qazaqstan Venture Group and operating under the AIFC, the fund marks a significant step in the country’s regulated adoption of blockchain-based investments. Surprisingly, the fund’s inaugural purchase was not Bitcoin (BTC) but BNB (BNB), the native token of the BNB Chain. Through a strategic partnership with Binance Kazakhstan, a local entity licensed under the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) regime, the fund was able to secure custody and align with compliance frameworks from the outset.

Spinner Noman Ali grabbed four wickets to restrict South Africa to 216-6 at the close of play on day two of the first Test in Lahore on Monday, despite a fighting half century from Tony de Zorzi. Spinners dominated on a turning Gaddafi Stadium pitch as all the day’s 11 wickets went to slow bowlers, with South African left-armer Senuran Muthusamy taking a career-best 6-117 to dismiss Pakistan for 378. Zorzi was holding the fort at the close with 81 not out and Muthusamy on six as South Africa trail by 162 runs in the first innings. Zorzi batted with guts, knocking nine boundaries and a six, combating Noman, who claimed 4-85. South Africa started off well with 45-0 on the board when Noman removed touring skipper Aiden Markram for 20 and Wiaan Mulder for 17 — both caught behind by wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. Ryan Rickelton, who scored a punishing 71 with two sixes and nine boundaries, and Zorzi added 94 for the third wicket, taking on the spinners with some aggressive shots.

Binance’s pricing glitch and a new chapter in Trump’s trade war turned a market sell-off into the largest crypto liquidation on record. A combination of factors converged into a perfect storm on Friday, triggering the cryptocurrency industry’s largest liquidation event in history and briefly sending Bitcoin (BTC) below $110,000. The $19 billion in liquidations doesn’t mean investors lost that sum of money, but rather that leveraged positions were forcibly closed. The unrealized loss can be better observed through the drop in market capitalization, which shows a $450-billion wipeout. From Friday to Sunday, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell from $4.24 trillion to $3.79 trillion. At the time of writing, the market has already rebounded above $4 trillion.
