Canada Classifies Bishnoi Gang As Terrorist Entity For Cross-Border Violence

The 2025 Sibos conference in Frankfurt has brought together major global banks and financial experts to discuss the future of finance, focusing on innovations like AI, stablecoins, digital payments, and interoperability within the financial ecosystem. Over 30 leading banks are collaborating on a new SWIFT module aimed at enabling faster, cheaper, and smarter payment routing across multiple rails. The conference highlights the transformative role of AI, moving from theoretical discussions to practical applications in banking, with experts exploring AI-native finance and its impact on reshaping banking experiences. Meanwhile, in Canada, the government has designated the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist organization, citing their involvement in violent acts including the murder of Punjabi artist Sidhu Moose Wala, which allows Canada to restrict entry to those affiliated with the group. Additionally, Oregon and the city of Portland have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump over his deployment of the National Guard, alleging it constitutes an abuse of power and violates the U.S. Constitution. These developments illustrate ongoing security and political challenges in North America amid rapid technological advancements in global finance.
