Venezuela has shipped crude oil to Israel for the first time in years, marking a significant shift in its export patterns following the reopening of Venezuelan oil exports after the capture of President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces.

According to multiple reports, the cargo is bound for Israel’s Bazan Group, the country’s principal oil refiner, in what would be the first Venezuelan oil delivery to Israel since 2020.

Ferrari has expanded its cryptocurrency payment options, now accepting Ethereum ($ETH) for vehicle purchases in both the United States and Europe, according to reports.

The move underscores a broader trend among luxury brands adapting to evolving customer behavior, as high-net-worth clients increasingly engage with on-chain assets and digital payment rails.

Rather than leading adoption, payment infrastructure is aligning with demand that already exists—signaling continued normalization of crypto within premium consumer markets.

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.

The meeting is intended to break the current legislative deadlock and support progress on the Clarity Act, a bill seen as central to establishing clearer rules for the digital asset sector.

CLAIM / CONTEXT

Comments attributed to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino are circulating online, suggesting that recent crypto market conditions may be linked to actions by major exchanges, including Binance.

⚠️ Important clarification:

No verified quote confirms Ardoino directly blamed Binance

Tether has not issued an official statement assigning responsibility

Market conditions are influenced by liquidity, leverage, macro factors, and positioning, not a single actor

UPDATE

The Bithumb internal miscredit incident involving 620,000 BTC has been resolved.

According to reports:

99.7% of the miscredited amount was recovered

The remaining 1,788 BTC was covered using Bithumb’s own reserves

Customer balances are now 100% backed

⚠️ Important clarification:

No Bitcoin was created on-chain

The issue stemmed from an internal ledger/system error, not the Bitcoin network

MASSIVE (UNCONFIRMED / RUMOR)

Claims circulating online suggest that President Trump may support eliminating capital gains taxes on Bitcoin and crypto investments.

⚠️ Important context:

No executive order, bill, or official statement confirms a 0% capital gains policy

Any change to capital gains taxes would require Congressional approval

No details exist on scope, thresholds, or implementation

At this stage, this is speculation, not policy.

If such a proposal were ever advanced, it would be a major shift for:

Crypto adoption

Investor behavior

U.S. tax policy

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

Italy has officially declined to join President Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace.”

This remains a developing story.

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

An examination does not imply wrongdoing

No official findings or conclusions have been released

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.

🚨 JUST IN:

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
