The cryptocurrency world, long dominated by men, is witnessing a transformative shift as women increasingly enter the space, bringing with them a fresh perspective rooted in emotional intelligence and accessibility. This evolution was highlighted during a women-led crypto workshop in Dubai, where the atmosphere was notably calm and supportive—a stark contrast to the often aggressive and male-centric environments typically associated with crypto. A simple yet symbolic moment occurred when an instructor advised against placing a purse on the floor, citing it as ‘bad energy.’ This seemingly minor comment underscored a broader cultural shift in the industry. For years, the crypto journey for many women has been navigated in isolation, with male figures dominating the landscape—from investors and influencers to educators and community leaders. However, this dynamic is changing. In September, the author joined a global crypto community founded by a female engineer, which has become a sanctuary for hundreds of women worldwide. This community emphasizes understanding the mechanics of blockchain and tokenization while incorporating emotional and intuitive approaches to investing. The author’s experience in this space has been profoundly different, marked by honesty, vulnerability, and a focus on learning rather than hype. Women in crypto are not only breaking barriers but also reshaping the industry to be more inclusive and emotionally intelligent. Their presence is crucial as the world moves toward a future where nearly anything can be tokenized and invested in through blockchain. The rise of women in crypto is not just about gender equality; it’s about creating a more balanced, thoughtful, and accessible financial ecosystem for all.

In a bold move to reclaim its position as a fashion leader, H&M has reopened its flagship store in Dubai Mall, targeting the Gen-Z demographic in the Middle East. The Swedish retailer, caught between premium brands like Zara and budget competitors such as Shein, is betting on its physical stores to differentiate itself. The newly revamped store features interactive fitting rooms, self-checkout systems, and a curated selection of beauty brands like By Mina Al Sheikhly and NYX, designed to appeal to younger consumers. To mark the occasion, H&M turned the Burj Khalifa red and offered exclusive gifts to the first 300 guests, including mystery boxes with gift cards and beauty bags. This strategy aligns with H&M’s global initiative to transform 250 stores into boutique-like spaces, emphasizing open layouts and modern aesthetics. Despite the rise of e-commerce, H&M’s focus on in-store experiences reflects a broader trend of consumers valuing physical retail. The move also highlights the growing competition in the Middle East’s fast fashion market, with Primark set to open three UAE stores next year. However, the absence of a strong local fashion player leaves the door open for H&M to solidify its presence in the region.

Against the backdrop of global uncertainty, officials and experts emphasized the importance of strengthening the international rule of law to stabilize global industrial and supply chains and tackle economic challenges collectively. Ren Hongbin, Chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), urged business and legal communities worldwide to respect established international trade and investment practices. He highlighted the need for constructive dialogue to align international rules in areas such as intellectual property, digital economy, and green standards. Ren also stressed the importance of reducing trade barriers and fostering global industrial cooperation to safeguard free trade and economic globalization. Li Mingzheng, Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Justice, outlined China’s efforts to create a stable legal environment for economic development. These measures include advancing legislation on arbitration, maritime affairs, and foreign investment, as well as revising customs and foreign trade laws. Additionally, Chinese law firms have established 207 branches in 37 countries, showcasing progress in legal services sector openness. El Hadji Abdourahmane Ndione, Chair of the ISO Committee on Developing Country Matters, emphasized that global governance reform should prioritize fairness, openness, and shared responsibility. The conference, now in its third year, continues to play a pivotal role in fostering consensus and cooperation in global governance and economic openness.

Dubai’s parking management company, Parkin, has announced a record-breaking net profit of Dh157 million for the third quarter of 2025, marking a 50% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This financial milestone was driven by a 43% rise in total revenues, which reached Dh343.3 million, fueled by variable parking tariffs, expanded operational coverage, and a significant increase in seasonal card sales. The company issued over 682,000 parking fines during Q3 2025, a 63% surge from the previous year, attributed to heightened customer activity, an expanded parking network, and enhanced enforcement technologies. Seasonal card sales skyrocketed by 126%, reaching 81,000 units, as customers sought better value following the introduction of variable parking tariffs in April 2025. Parkin also expanded its parking portfolio, increasing the total number of spaces by 6% to 219,000, with public parking spaces rising by 7% to 192,100. The company’s CEO, Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali, highlighted strategic partnerships and innovations, including a collaboration with CAFU to offer on-demand fuel and car wash services, as key contributors to future revenue growth.

India’s Supreme Court has clarified that a preliminary report on the tragic Air India crash in June, which claimed 260 lives, does not implicate the pilot in any wrongdoing. The court announced this on Friday, November 7, 2025, while agreeing to hear a plea from the pilot’s father, Pushkar Raj Sabharwal, on November 10. The 91-year-old has demanded an independent investigation led by a panel of aviation experts and overseen by a retired Supreme Court judge. This follows his criticism of the government’s initial probe, which he claims implied his son, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, deliberately cut the plane’s fuel supply after takeoff. The government has refuted these allegations, describing its investigation as ‘very clean’ and ‘thorough.’ Earlier this year, India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau released an interim report stating that the plane’s fuel engine switches had simultaneously moved from ‘run’ to ‘cutoff’ shortly after takeoff. The case continues to draw significant attention as the court prepares to address the plea for an independent inquiry.
