EverGive targets $13m Bitcoin Reserve with new president appointment
Muhammed Yesilhard/Image: Supplied EverGive, the organisation pioneering a Bitcoin Reserve to provide sustainable, long-term charitable funding, has appointed co-founder Muhammed Yesilhark as president. An experienced investor and digital assets expert, Yesilhark has been instrumental in shaping EverGive's mission to free charitable funding from the constraints of high time preference and misaligned incentives. In his new role, Yesilhark will oversee strategy for EverGive's Bitcoin Reserve – currently valued at £1.55m ($2m) – with the goal of surpassing £10m ($13m) by the end of 2025. His remit includes guiding investment decisions, forging strategic partnerships, and ensuring the reserve delivers maximum long-term impact for the charitable sector. Yesilhark also serves as chief investment officer at NOIA Capital and sits on the Board of Directors of Dubai Chamber Digital Economy. His career spans leadership positions at hedge funds in New York and London, alongside long-standing advocacy for Bitcoin as a tool for economic empowerment and financial sovereignty. EverGive's model converts donations into Bitcoin, a scarce and borderless asset, allowing value to appreciate over time rather than being spent immediately. This approach ensures that partner charities, including Cancer Research UK, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Orphans in Need, benefit from a predictable and growing stream of support, even in economic downturns. 'Bitcoin is more than just a financial asset. It's freedom technology,' said Yesilhark. 'EverGive is about turning generosity into permanence – creating an engine of support that doesn't erode with time, inflation, or politics. That's why Ismael and I are so committed to building this.' With more than $130m raised for charities by the EverGive team in previous ventures, the organisation now aims to reach 100,000 monthly donors and expand the reserve into a global endowment for causes with lasting societal impact. 'Muhammed's leadership and investment depth continue to be a powerful asset for us,' said EverGive co-founder and CEO Ismael Dainehine. 'His conviction in Bitcoin as a foundation for long-term giving has shaped EverGive's approach from day one. Together, we're building something that can shape how humanity manages its responsibility to the future, and how it funds impact – not just this year, but forever.' Digital asset donations exceeded $1bn in 2024, with more than 70 per cent of Forbes' top charities now accepting digital assets such as Bitcoin. EverGive is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift, not only adapting to change but helping to define the future of philanthropic infrastructure.

Egypt: SCZone, Hungary in talks to enhance bilateral economic ties
Arab Finance: The Chairman of the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) Waleid Gamal El-Dien met with the Hungarian Ambassador to Cairo Rita Herencsár and the Economic and Commercial Counselor at the Embassy of Hungary Patrik Moruzs to explore joint cooperation opportunities and strengthen economic relations, as per a statement. The meeting is part of the SCZone's efforts to expand partnerships with development allies and partner countries to support sustainable development goals and reinforce its role as a global industrial and logistics hub. Gamal El-Dien reviewed the SCZone's infrastructure, which includes six seaports on the Red Sea and the Mediterranean connected to global supply chains, and four industrial zones capable of accommodating a wide range of industries. He highlighted competitive advantages such as direct and indirect financial incentives, sector-specific benefits, reliable energy supplies, and skilled labor at competitive costs, positioning the zone as an attractive destination for European companies seeking regional and global expansion. He stressed the importance of building partnerships with Hungary in value-added sectors, pointing to opportunities in automotive manufacturing, data centers, and industries supporting the railway and electricity sectors, while tapping into the technological expertise of Central and Eastern Europe. Herencsár praised the SCZone's development and expressed Hungary's interest in cooperation in manufacturing, export, infrastructure, solar energy, and water management. She proposed organizing meetings between Gamal El-Dien and Hungarian companies interested in investing in the zone and pursuing joint projects under public-private partnerships. Following the meeting, the Hungarian delegation toured several projects, including Ecobat for Industrial Development Company, Elsewedy Watanya for Industries and Engineering Projects, and the National Steel Fabrication Company (NSF), viewing international partnership models and opportunities for industrial integration. © 2025 All Rights Reserved Arab Finance For Information Technology Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

IEA raises 2025 oil supply forecast after OPEC+ output hike decision
LONDON - The International Energy Agency on Wednesday raised its forecast for oil supply growth this year following a decision by the OPEC+ producer group to hike production and lowered its demand forecast due to lacklustre demand across the major economies. The IEA expects world oil supply to rise by 2.5 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2025, up from 2.1 million bpd previously forecast, the agency, which advises industrialised countries said in a monthly report. World oil demand will rise by 680,000 bpd this year, down from 700,000 bpd previously forecast, the Paris-based agency said. "The latest data show lacklustre demand across the major economies and, with consumer confidence still depressed, a sharp rebound appears remote," the IEA said. Oil prices briefly extended losses after the IEA published its report at 0800 GMT. Despite higher OPEC+ production, non-OPEC producers will continue to lead world supply growth this year and next, according to the IEA. Despite lowering its demand forecast, the IEA expects global oil refining runs to approach an all-time high of 85.6 million bpd in August, it said.
