CRYPTO AND BANKING SECTORS TO MEET TUESDAY OVER STABLECOIN REGULATION
The White House will host a second round of discussions on Tuesday, February 10, bringing together major banks and cryptocurrency industry representatives to address the regulatory framework for stablecoins.
According to sources familiar with the matter, officials aim to revisit unresolved issues—particularly whether crypto companies should be allowed to offer interest-bearing stablecoins—in an effort to reach a regulatory compromise.
Executives and representatives from major financial institutions, including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, are expected to attend, alongside crypto industry leaders and trade groups representing firms such as Coinbase, Ripple, and Circle.

RUMORS (UNCONFIRMED) 🇺🇸
Claims circulating online allege that some Coinbase users are experiencing Bitcoin withdrawal delays, sparking speculation that the exchange may be facing liquidity constraints.
⚠️ Additional claims suggesting Coinbase “dumped BTC to buy back lower” are unverified and not supported by on-chain or official data.
Important context:
Withdrawal delays can occur due to network congestion, maintenance, or compliance checks
No evidence shows Coinbase is “out of Bitcoin”
Coinbase has made no statement confirming liquidity issues
BTC trading near $71,000 contradicts claims of a failed buyback narrative
At this stage:
❌ Insolvency claims → not proven
❌ Market manipulation claims → speculative
✅ User reports of issues → require verification
Until official confirmation or on-chain proof emerges, this should be treated as rumor, not fact.

BREAKING (UNCONFIRMED / REVIEW)
Reports indicate the U.S. SEC is examining whether activity on Binance Futures may have contributed to cascading liquidations on October 10, 2025.
⚠️ Important context:
This appears to be a review, not an enforcement action

Why this matters:
Liquidation cascades often result from high leverage + thin liquidity
Derivatives markets can amplify price moves without manipulation
Regulators are increasingly focused on market structure mechanics, not just assets

ROBERT KIYOSAKI (COMMENTARY)
Robert Kiyosaki says that if Bitcoin were ever to fall back to $6,000, he would buy more again.
The takeaway isn’t the price level — it’s the mindset:
Volatility is seen as opportunity, not fear
Conviction matters more than short-term price action
Long-term believers plan to add on extreme weakness
⚠️ This is a hypothetical statement, not a forecast that BTC will reach $6K.
Different investors, different risk tolerance.
Kiyosaki is making a point about buying fear, not calling a crash.

Total outstanding U.S. credit card balances have hit a record $1.25 trillion, nearly doubling from around $660 billion in 2013.
📈 What this signals:
Consumers are leaning harder on revolving credit
High interest rates make this debt more dangerous than ever
Household balance sheets are under growing stress
⚠️ Why it matters:
Rising delinquencies tend to lag peaks in credit usage
This often shows up before broader economic slowdowns
Less disposable income = pressure on consumption and growth

BREAKING (SYSTEM ERROR, NOT BLOCKCHAIN ISSUE) 🇰🇷
Reports say Bithumb experienced a serious internal system glitch that caused its internal ledger to misrecord Bitcoin balances, temporarily treating non-existent BTC as real.
⚠️ Key clarifications:
No Bitcoin was created on the blockchain
The issue was internal accounting, not a Bitcoin network failure
Customer on-chain balances were not duplicated on Bitcoin itself
What’s being reported:
Bithumb’s system allegedly misaccounted for a large BTC amount due to a software/ledger failure
South Korean lawmakers are calling it a structural systems issue, not simple human error
Regulators are launching on-site inspections and considering sanctions.

BREAKING (UNCONFIRMED / FLOW CONTEXT)
Reports circulating claim that over $400M in Bitcoin left BlackRock-linked spot ETFs last week.
⚠️ Important clarification:
ETF outflows ≠ BlackRock selling its own BTC
Redemptions reflect investor flows, not proprietary positioning
ETF mechanics involve authorized participants, not discretionary “dumping”
What this does signal:
Short-term risk-off positioning by some investors
Increased volatility sensitivity around macro data
Flow-driven pressure, not a fundamental shift in thesis
📊 Context matters:
Outflows happen in both directions during volatile periods
Institutions adjust exposure — they don’t panic trade headlines
There is no evidence that BlackRock is exiting crypto or anticipating “something bad.”
