According to IOL, the South African Gauteng High Court has ruled that Bitcoin is classified as "capital" and "currency" under South Africa's foreign exchange control system, and has confiscated nearly 6 million rand worth of Bitcoin assets. Between January 2018 and March 2020, a trader transferred approximately 1,680 Bitcoin through a Luno account to wallets on overseas-registered crypto exchanges, which the court found to be a violation of foreign exchange control regulations. Last month, the South African Ministry of Finance released a draft for public comment on the 2026 capital flow management plan, intending to strengthen cross-border capital flow management.

BUZZ-Pacira BioSciences participated in a Viatris acquisition deal worth 1.65 billions dollars

Latest Update October 8 – Pacira BioSciences (PCRX.O) shares surged by 44%, hitting a more than three-year high at $36.30. If the rally holds, PCRX is poised for its largest single-day gain on record. Pharmaceutical company Viatris (VTRS.O) will acquire Pacira BioSciences in a $1.65 billion cash deal, offering $36.50 per share. The offer represents a premium of approximately 44.8% over Pacira’s recent closing price of $25.20. The transaction will add Pacira’s non-opioid pain medications Exparel and Zilretta to Viatris' product portfolio. Viatris shares fell 2.6% to $17.04. JPMorgan stated: “We believe this acquisition will not significantly alter VTRS' overall financial profile in the short or long term, and expect Exparel’s sales to gradually decline post-2030 due to generic market entry.” Both parties expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2026. Including intraday fluctuations, PCRX shares have risen 40.2% year-to-date, while VTRS has gained 36.8%.
