💥 Bitcoin under pressure — a hawk approaches the Fed! The candidate for the head of the Federal Reserve System of the USA — Kevin Warsh — sends a real chill down the spines of bulls. Experts call him a hard hawk: the focus is on inflation risks and monetary discipline, not market support.
💣 What this means: less chance of a quick rate cut, higher real yields on bonds, and a liquidity outflow from risk assets — from stocks to crypto. Warsh is known for insisting on tough policies even during the 2008 crisis, fearing inflation despite the downturn. Now the markets see a signal in him:
👉 “Cheap money” may end for a long time.
👉 The Fed will become “hawkish” again.
👉 Altseason and recovery $BTC postponed?
📉 The mere fact of increasing the likelihood of his appointment triggers a risk-off wave — investors move into dollars and treasuries, crypto loses momentum.
❓What do you think: if Warsh heads the Fed — will it be an icy shower for bulls or a chance for a big reboot later?
❓Is it worth it to now “hibernate” in stables or is this pullback — the last opportunity to enter the market before a new wave of growth?

⚔️ #ТорговаяВойна : Trump vs Canada — a blow to the global market?

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Donald Trump threatened to impose 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Ottawa signs a trade deal with China. "Canada will not become a transshipment point for Chinese goods. China will simply swallow Canada," Trump stated, adding that the U.S. is ready to respond with tariffs immediately. Premier Mark Carney has already reacted: Canada does not plan an agreement with China, but Trump's statement itself is a strong signal that trade war 2.0 is around the corner.
💥 How will this impact the crypto market?
— If global trade cracks again — will crypto surge as an anti-isolation asset?
— Or conversely — will the decline of stock markets again pull BTC down along with liquidity?
— Is Bitcoin ready for a "new trade escalation" where the U.S. dictates the rules again?
📊 Traders are already guessing whether this will mark the beginning of a new cycle of volatility.
One tweet from Trump — and capital is once again seeking refuge: in dollars, gold, or crypto?

🤯 If even giants are closing down, does this mean that Bitcoin could disappear too?
🚨 There is a new wave of exits in the industry: Nifty Gateway, the NFT platform of Gemini, announced its full closure on February 23, 2026, and is already operating only for withdrawals. Meanwhile, the crypto startup Entropy, backed by a16z and Coinbase Ventures, is winding down its operations, returning $25 million to investors after unsuccessful scaling attempts.

🔓 Hacking #SwapNet : losses amounted to $16.8 million According to PeckShield, the infrastructure protocol SwapNet was subjected to a hacker attack, as a result of which the attackers stole about $16.8 million. Experts warn that users who have not disabled the One-Time Approvals feature remain at risk. SwapNet is used by many DEX platforms and aggregators for executing swaps, making the incident particularly sensitive for the decentralized ecosystem.

🇺🇸 USA on the brink of a shutdown — Bitcoin is already reacting.
The possible suspension of government operations on January 31 raises the question again: political chaos in the USA = opportunity for crypto?
Conflict in Congress has intensified over DHS funding: Democrats threaten to block the budget without a separate bill for DHS and new restrictions for immigration enforcement (triggered by the killings of two US citizens in Minnesota during federal agents' operations). Republicans insist on a complete spending package, including ICE and Customs and Border Protection. If neither side backs down, part of the federal government will shut down on January 31. The House of Representatives has already left Washington, Trump openly accuses Democrats and shows no willingness to compromise.
📉 Market: BTC fell to 86,000 and recovered to ~87,300.
👉 Will the shutdown be a trigger for the growth of crypto as a "safe haven" or will it hit all risk assets?
👉 Is Bitcoin now a protection against dollar chaos or already part of the overall risk system?
👉 Who will benefit from the crisis in the USA — gold or $BTC ?
Are you betting on Bitcoin's growth during the shutdown or waiting for a deep correction?

🇺🇸 The USA is quietly turning into a Bitcoin state? Finance Minister Scott Bessent confirmed that the American administration is officially working on creating a state BTC reserve.
💥 Sales of confiscated bitcoins are COMPLETELY halted.
💰 All seized coins will no longer be sold but will go into the state's digital storage. Essentially, the USA is making bitcoin a strategic asset — like gold.
🤔 Question: why do they need this?
Do they really believe in BTC, or do they just want to control the market from within? Interestingly, it was under Biden that crypto was nearly “suffocated” by strict regulation… and now suddenly they are completely changing course?
➤ The return of mining in the USA?
➤ A new market rise?
➤ Or a trap before a new cycle, to collect liquidity from the “retail”?
What do you think — is this a step towards bitcoin at $250K or towards a new wave of manipulations from government structures?

🇩🇰 Denmark tells the USA: "Your treasuries are no longer risk-free!"
AkademikerPension — one of the largest pension funds in Denmark — is dumping American government bonds worth $100 million and fully exiting treasuries by the end of January.
Officially — "a purely financial decision": rising debts, deficits, and falling trust in bonds as a "safe haven".
But let's be honest: is this not the first bell of the collapse of the illusion of a “safe dollar”? 😏Trump is once again threatening tariffs on Europe, his old statements about Greenland are resurfacing, and against this backdrop, a third Danish fund (after Lærernes Pension and PFA) is publicly refusing to hold US debt.
📉 The scale is tiny ($100 million — a drop in the ocean),
but the signal is louder than any macro data — if institutional investors start doubting US debt, the world will have to seek new “safe havens”.
🗨️ And now the question that really hits the nerves —
👉 If even Europe is losing faith in the dollar, will crypto not become the new “insurance against the system”?
👉 Could Bitcoin be the future “risk-free assets”? While some funds are dumping treasuries, others quietly accumulate $BTC in corporate balances.
Coincidence or a change of era? 🔥

💥 "If it weren't for me, NATO would have long been in the dustbin of history!" — said Donald Trump, adding that no president has done more for NATO than he has.
🇺🇸 His words sparked a storm of reactions — from approval to outrage.
💬 And now the main question to the community:
Do you believe that world politics and statements from leaders like Trump actually influence the movement of the crypto markets?
📊 Some analysts believe that geopolitical tension is one of the key drivers of Bitcoin's growth as a "safe asset" outside of politics.
🚀 Others think that the markets have long operated by their own laws, and political statements are just noise for the crowd. What do you think? 🧩
Write in the comments:
— does politics affect the price of BTC or is crypto already completely autonomous from the "real world"?

🤑 «Trump is once again outsmarting Wall Street» — Bloomberg reports:
in one year Donald Trump earned $1,400,000,000 in crypto. The Trump family now controls capital of $6.8 billion, and almost 20% of it is crypto assets.

📊 Main sources of income: World Liberty Financial — +$390 million; Alt5 Sigma — +$591 million; Memecoin $TRUMP — +$280 million (even after the drop); American Bitcoin Corp — +$114 million. Bloomberg also mentioned the Trump family's connections with Justin Sun (#TRX ) and Changpeng Zhao (#BNB走势 ): Sun invested in WLFI — and now the SEC case against him is suspended. CZ is said to have received a pardon, as Binance was assisting the U.S. with the development of USD1, the "official blockchain dollar".
🔥 Crypto is once again at the center of politics and power. The question is — who now controls the future of blockchain?
❓What do you think: Does Trump really believe in crypto — or is it just a political calculation? What will happen if the U.S. actually launches USD1? Is it time for all of us to prepare for a "political bull cycle"?

🧩 What do you think: who pays for trade wars — the rivals of the USA or the Americans themselves?
🇺🇸 Do tariffs actually strengthen the economy, or are they just a hidden tax for citizens?
#торговаявойна🇺🇸 According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, 96% of the cost of US tariffs is paid by American companies and consumers, not foreign exporters.
➤ Tariffs actually function as a domestic tax, rather than a tool for pressure on other countries.
➤ Foreign companies rarely lower prices — they more often reduce supplies or refocus on other markets.
➤ As a result, imports become more expensive, and the costs fall on businesses and ordinary buyers.
➤ Foreign exporters bear only about 4% of the total burden.
➤ This means that the main money in the US budget comes from its own citizens, not from "external opponents"

💥 #Взлом for $4,130,000, but the profit went to… the bot!
🤯❌ The Makina protocol was attacked: the hacker found a vulnerability and tried to withdraw funds.
But surprise — it was outpaced by the MEV-bot, instantly intercepting the transaction and taking the whole pot. What happened:
➤ The hacker sent a public transaction for withdrawal.
➤ The MEV builder noticed it — a participant who forms the order of blocks.
➤ He inserted his operation earlier, and it was his bot that withdrew $4.13 million. In the end: the vulnerability was found by a person, but the money was received by an algorithm. 🤖💸

🔻 Senior strategist at Bloomberg predicts a Bitcoin crash to $10,000 — is the market ready for the shock?
Mike McGlone, chief strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, stated that in 2026 it would be wiser to short BTC than to wait for growth. According to him, if Bitcoin does not hold above $100,000, a severe correction may begin — first to $50,000, and then even to $10,000!
📉 What causes concern: Overheating after years of rally. Weak performance since 2021. Strong dependence on the stock market. Breaking below the 200-day average. Excess tokens and "pumped" crypto projects. Risks of transitioning to a deflationary phase. 💬 Interestingly, some analysts believe such forecasts are an attempt to scare the market before the new bull cycle.

👉 What do you think, is this a real risk or another FUD from institutional investors?

🇺🇸 The White House vs Coinbase?
Journalist Eleanor Terrett reports that the U.S. administration may withdraw support for the CLARITY bill if Coinbase does not agree to a compromise with banks regarding "income-generating stablecoins." Allegedly, the White House is dissatisfied — actions by Coinbase are labeled as a "rug pull" against the administration and the entire crypto industry. However, the CEO of Coinbase denied the rumors: according to him, negotiations are indeed ongoing, and the company is already seeking solutions that will help regional banks implement crypto technologies safely and profitably.
💬 What do you think, who is applying more pressure — the banks or the regulators?

🇺🇸 Important update on Samourai Wallet and the US government's BTC
The US Department of Justice has confirmed: BTC seized in the Samourai Wallet case (about $6.4 million) has not been sold and will not be sold.
Executive Secretary of the White House Crypto Council Patrick Witt stated that these coins are held by the government and remain on its balance sheet as part of strategic BTC reserves.
The confiscated bitcoins have been credited to a special blockchain account — Special Blockchain (Bitcoin) Reserve / SBR, created by a separate presidential decree.
The presidential decree prohibits the sale of BTC obtained through confiscations and forfeitures, and requires them to be held as a strategic asset rather than being dumped on the market.
🤔 For traders, this means lower risk of uncontrolled large-volume state sales of BTC and a more predictable liquidity backdrop, especially against the backdrop of the increasing role of the US as a holder of strategic bitcoin reserves.
