Founded in 2020 by Saif Al-Mufti, Digital Zone has rapidly evolved from a startup offering digital phone top-ups and gift cards to a comprehensive digital commerce ecosystem. The platform now encompasses many services, including mobile recharges, gaming credits, subscription services, and online gift cards.

In the wake of the acquisition, Digital Zone has expanded its offerings to include Ticket Zone, Iraq's first dedicated digital ticketing platform for events and entertainment, and Rahal, a travel services division that provides flight bookings and e-SIM solutions for international travelers.

The success of Digital Zone post-acquisition underscores the potential of Iraq's startup ecosystem and highlights the benefits of collaboration between established conglomerates and young companies. Luay Al-Obaidy, Qi's chief product officer (CPO,) emphasized the strategic importance of the acquisition: "Digital Zone is a key growth engine for introducing users to the Qi ecosystem through its value-added services and unique offerings."

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
