🇺🇸 Trump has no plans to fire the Fed chair, but won't stop pressuring 🤣🤣🤣

😁 Donald Trump stated he has no intention of demanding the resignation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, even amid the U.S. Department of Justice investigation.

Quote:
"I don't have such plans. We're waiting and will decide what to do. It's still too early."

🔍 Jerome Powell's current term as Fed chair expires in May 2026.
He could remain on the board of governors until 2028.

😁 But there's a nuance: although Trump isn't talking about firing him, he isn't ruling out influencing Fed policy and considers it his right.

Quote:
"The president should have a say on Fed policy. I've made a lot of money in business and understand this better than Powell, who is always behind."

🔥 Political backdrop: both Democrats and some Republicans have opposed the investigation into Powell.

Trump responded that fellow party members "should be loyal" 😁

💬 Well, for now, there won't be a firing, but he'll keep rattling nerves— the Fed has become another political battlefield for Trump 🤷‍♂️

🇺🇦 The Ministry of Digital Transformation is temporarily led by a cryptocurrency advocate 🇺🇦

Oleksandr Borniakov became the acting Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine following Mykhailo Fedorov's appointment as Minister of Defense.

🤔 What is known about him?

Borniakov has been working at the Ministry of Digital Transformation since its establishment in 2019.
🔹️ Oversaw Dіya.City, e-Residence, IT direction, and European integration.
🔹️ One of the key government representatives on cryptocurrency and digital assets.

🔍 Borniakov has repeatedly expressed his views on crypto in interviews:

🔹️ Publicly supports the legalization and regulation of the crypto market.
🔹️ At the Incrypted Conference 2024, emphasized the high potential of crypto in Ukraine.
🔹️ Advocates for the fastest possible introduction of clear regulatory frameworks.
🔹️ Noted that Ukraine ranks among the top 5 countries in the world in terms of crypto asset usage.

💬 I understand that one person alone isn't a warrior, but still, this is a positive signal for the crypto sector. A person who understands Web3, AI, and European rules of the game.
💬 Better than temporary silence and the gray zone 🤷‍♂️ The question remains whether this acting role will lead to real acceleration of crypto regulation, or just another pause.
💬 Your thoughts, gentlemen?

💧SUI halted for 6 hours - the network experienced a consensus failure 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Not FUD, but a fact!

📆 January 14, 2026, the Sui blockchain completely stopped processing transactions.
Downtime lasted 6 hours 😡 the failure occurred around 14:52 UTC, full recovery around 20:44 UTC.

⚙️ Reason: Sui confirmed a "consensus outage," but did not disclose the specific cause.

🔹 Over $1 billion TVL was frozen
🔹 dApps, DeFi, and transfers were on pause
🔹 Users couldn't interact with the network

🔍 This is not the first incident; a similar failure occurred in November 2024.

The market reacted cautiously, but questions about consensus reliability are back on the table.

💬 Fast L1s are good, but stable TPS are also needed, especially when billions of dollars are at stake 🤣🤣🤣

🧠OpenAI signed a $10 billion contract with Cerebras, a semiconductor manufacturer for AI chips🔥🔥🔥

💪 One of the largest infrastructure deals in the AI sector in recent years.

🔍 OpenAI has signed a multi-year agreement with Cerebras Systems 👇

🔹 Estimated contract value of $10 billion according to Reuters
🔹 Duration: 2026–2028
🔹 Computing capacity up to 750 MW of computational resources
🔹 Financial details remain officially undisclosed

⚙️ Cerebras is one of the main competitors of Nvidia in AI chips, focusing not on GPUs but on specialized processors for inference. Inference is now becoming the bottleneck for ChatGPT and other LLMs—expensive, energy-intensive, and difficult to scale.

💬 Another signal that the AI race is no longer about models, but about electricity. Long-term contracts are being secured years in advance.
💬 Here are a few AI tokens for your thoughts 👇

🇵🇰🪙 Pakistan is preparing to integrate the USD1 stablecoin from World Liberty Financial into the country's economy🔥🔥🔥

😏 It seems stablecoins are reaching a new level of national finance🚀

🔍 According to Reuters, the State Bank of Pakistan is working with WLFI to explore the possibility of integrating the USD1 stablecoin into the country's payment infrastructure.

🔹 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed
🔹 Focus on digital payments and international transfers
🔹 USD1 could operate alongside Pakistan's future digital currency

🥳 An official announcement is expected during the visit of WLFI CEO Zack Witkoff to Islamabad.

💡 This might be one of the first cases where a government publicly tests the integration of a new private stablecoin.

🇵🇰 Pakistan is a country with a large volume of international money transfers.
Stablecoins = cheaper, faster, without banking delays.
🦅 USD1 - a stablecoin pegged to the dollar, project by WLFI linked to the Trump family😁

‼️ AI agents are already hiring people for jobs. This is not science fiction, it's the new reality 😡‼️

💬 Well, folks, movies are becoming reality—let's get ready to do the dirty work, because AI has us covered for everything else 🤷‍♂️

🔍 Startup Eclipse Labs (San Francisco) launched Human API—a platform that enables AI agents to directly interact with people and hire them for real tasks 😡.

Yes, yes, you read that right—AI can now not only write code but also order human labor.

⚙️ Here's how it works:
AI agent sends a request ➡️ person completes the task ➡️ payment is processed through the platform, all via a standardized Human API.

🤔 You might be wondering why this is needed? The answer is below👇

Not everything can be automated. Delivery, collection, dealing with government agencies, local actions—where manual work is required and AI can't perform it, humans are still needed.

💬 Is it just me, or does something in this world feel off?

✅ The platform has already completed its first paid data deliveries, has corporate clients, and has confirmed real demand.

💡 Are people against AI?
No. People are now infrastructure for AI.

💬 While writing this post, this movie kept playing in my head...

➡️ platforms with global payouts

💬 Stablecoins have become the foundational payment layer, and VISA is simply adapting to stay relevant in the market.

🍰PancakeSwap slashes CAKE emission again 🔥🔥🔥

The PancakeSwap team has proposed reducing the maximum CAKE supply by 50 million tokens, from 450 million ➡️ 400 million CAKE.

🔍 The proposal has already been submitted to governance - discussion is underway.

⚙️ This is not a one-time move, but a continuation of the Tokenomics 3.0 initiative launched back in 2025:
✅️ Abandonment of the veCAKE model
✅️ Reduction of daily emission from 40,000 to 22,500 CAKE
✅️ Focus on deflationary model instead of "farm at any cost"
💪 As a result, CAKE supply has already decreased by 8.2% over the past year.

❗️Alphabet gains strategic control over the AI heart of iOS.
✅️ Google strengthens its position as the leader in AI infrastructure

‼️‼️WLFI enters crypto lending. DeFi with political background🔥🔥

☄️ World Liberty Financial project, linked to the Trump family, has launched the crypto lending platform World Liberty Markets.

And this is no longer just "token + website", but an attempt to enter the territory of Aave and Compound.

🤔 Let's go step by step – what is it and for what purpose?

🦅 World Liberty Markets – an on-chain platform for:
🔹 loans against collateral
🔹 providing liquidity
🔹 earning yield

⚙️ Built on the Dolomite protocol – a ready-made DeFi infrastructure, not a custom-built solution from scratch.

💸 Core of the ecosystem:
🔹 USD1 – the project's stablecoin, market cap already $3.4 billion.
🔹 WLFI – the governance token, through which they plan to control the protocol.

💡 In essence, the credit card is a way to push USD1 into real DeFi circulation.

🔍 Initial assets:
✅ ETH
✅ cbBTC (tokenized BTC)
✅ USDC
✅ USDT
✅ USD1
Also planned: RWA tokenized stocks and other real-world assets.

💬 Well, what can you say? It looks like an attempt to enter DeFi while the window is open, but with a different trump card – political influence😁

😏 Strategy continues accumulating BTC aggressively, without waiting for the "perfect correction" that everyone is talking about.
The company once again shows that for them, Bitcoin is a strategic asset, not a trade.

💬 Each such purchase reduces the liquid supply on the market.
💬 When someone buys Bitcoin at $90K+ and doesn't blink — that's not FOMO🤣🤣

🚫Polymarket has been blocked in Ukraine. Officially ‼️

🇺🇦 Ukraine has joined the list of countries where Polymarket has been declared an illegal service.

📆 December 10, 2025, the regulator made a decision to block the platform.
📆 January 12, 2026, the information became public and appeared in the media.

🔍 Official reason: Polymarket was classified as a platform with elements of gambling operating without a license in Ukraine.
It does not have permission to organize bets/prediction markets. Based on this, providers were instructed to restrict access to the domain.

〽️ Prediction markets are increasingly being compared to gambling. Even a "decentralized" format does not protect against regulation.

💬 In my opinion, Polymarket and Kalshi are indeed not much different from casinos, but I must admit I never used them myself...
💬 Who has experience? Who placed bets?

🤯🤯A criminal case has been opened against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell‼️‼️

🔍 The U.S. Department of Justice and federal prosecutors have officially launched a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

🤔 The investigation concerns the renovation of the Federal Reserve's central building in Washington.
💸 The project costs approximately $2.5 billion.
🤨 Prosecutors are examining whether Powell misled Congress regarding the costs and scale of the work.

Powell himself called the case political pressure.
All of this is unfolding against the backdrop of a conflict with Donald Trump.
Trump has repeatedly criticized the Fed for refusing to quickly lower interest rates〽️

🤔 The market has reacted:
🔹 Increased nervousness
🔹 Pressure on the dollar
🔹 Rising interest in gold and defensive assets
🔹 Risk to confidence in the Fed's independence

💬 A criminal case against the central bank chief is already fascinating politics.
💬 I guess we'll now see volatility and market reactions😔

🤨Interest in crypto on social media - at rock bottom‼️

🔍 Over the past three months, views of crypto content on YouTube have dropped to the lowest levels since January 2021.

And this is not a one-time spike; the decline has been ongoing since October 2025.

🤷‍♂️ Crypto YouTube has seen the lowest view counts in 5 years. The drop is evident not only on YouTube but also on X, TikTok, and other social platforms.
Retail investor activity has sharply declined.

💡 Social media behavior = classic bear market. Minimal emotions, minimal hype, minimal newcomers. Crypto is disappearing from the mainstream information landscape.🤦‍♂️

💬 It's precisely during these moments that the market appears dead, and people stop talking about crypto🤷‍♂️
💬 But as always, fundamentals are being built quietly, without unnecessary noise😁
💬 Does anyone still actively maintaining YouTube channels?

♥️💸⚔️In France, thieves are targeting crypto offline already 😡🇫🇷

📆 January 5, 2026, in the city of Manosque, in the south of France.
🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Three armed men broke into a private home and threatened with weapons, stealing a USB drive with access to crypto assets.

🔐 The flash drive contained data belonging to the woman's partner, likely keys or access to wallets. After the robbery, the criminals vanished; the woman was unharmed, and the police are investigating.

🔍 This is not just a theft—it's a "wrench attack".
When crypto is taken not by hackers, but by people with guns.

🇫🇷 France has been one of the top countries in Europe for several years in terms of physical attacks on crypto owners.
In 2025, even a tax official was caught selling addresses of crypto holders to criminal groups 😡

💬 This is the case when a cold wallet without security is not a safe, but a target.
💬 Not sure why, but I just felt like using this picture for the post 😁 Did everyone recognize the movie?

🤷‍♂️The Zcash team is launching CashZ - the Zcash fork is gaining momentum ‼️

💡 Developers of the Zcash mobile wallet announced the launch of a new startup, CashZ, after leaving Electric Coin Company (ECC).

💬 Why they left and what happened—I already wrote a post yesterday, pinned it below👇

🔍 So let's talk about the new startup—what is it and what is it for?

⚙️ CashZ is a new wallet for Zcash built on the same codebase as Zashi, with familiar logic and UX for users. 📆 Release within the next few weeks.

✅️ The focus remains unchanged: CashZ positions itself as:
🔹️a tool for private payments
🔹️a product for the Zcash community
🔹️without a new token and without a network fork

‼️ Meanwhile, ZEC:
🔹️the protocol is alive
🔹️the ecosystem is fragmenting
🔹️key products are leaving ECC

💬 Interesting battles within the project—interesting to see how this all ends.
💬 Personally, I think this will be painful for Zcash.

🔥POLYGON is rising for the 9th day in a row 🚀 And this is no coincidence 🥳🥳🥳

Here should be the phrase "and I told you so and wrote it" 😁

♾️ What we have: POL up +30% in a week, price reached $0.15, the highest since the beginning of December.

💬 Polygon is tired of being just about blockchain, it's becoming about money.
💬 Usually the market notices such transitions with delay, but I'm telling you right now 😁 buy while the price is still low.

🚨 Trump: The US could carry out ground strikes — but not against Mexico, rather against cartels 🤦‍♂️

🔍 In a fresh interview with The Times, Donald Trump stated he is considering "land strikes" against drug cartels, which, in his words, "essentially control Mexico".

‼️ Trump did not declare war on Mexico.
🔹️The focus is specifically on strikes against drug cartels, not the Mexican military
🔹️The format is hypothetical: "we would consider", not "we have decided"
🔹️The statement is part of tough election campaign rhetoric.

🌎 The President of Mexico publicly rejected any foreign military intervention, emphasizing the country's sovereignty.

😔 This is not a war and not the start of an operation
But such rhetoric = geopolitical noise
Risk assets (including crypto) are sensitive to such headlines.

💬 Social media is already spreading this as "The US attacked Mexico".
💬 But this old man is also playing around, and the whole world understands that, so expect anything 🤦‍♂️
P.S. Stop this planet, I want to get off.....
