What Binance and other media are highlighting is that, according to the declassified emails, Epstein was not only a technology enthusiast but also an early investor with financial intuition:
The figure: Invested $3.2 million dollars in Coinbase in 2014.
The method: He did it through a shell company called IGO LLC.
The impact: At that time, Coinbase was a small company. The documents show that Epstein attempted to use his connections to validate the platform to JP Morgan and other banks that at that time were rejecting cryptocurrency companies.
Why is it trending right now (February 2026)?
The post in Binance feeds is likely due to the timing coincidence with other market events:
Declassification of 3 million documents: On January 31, 2026, files that were previously confidential were released, revealing specific details about his bank accounts and emails regarding Bitcoin.
Market volatility: The price of Bitcoin has been under pressure this week (hovering around $65,000 - $75,000 after the peaks of October 2025), and this type of "black" news tends to resurface to explain the negative market sentiment.
Clarification from Blockstream: Adam Back (CEO of Blockstream) had to come out 4 days ago (February 2) to deny direct financial links with Epstein, after the same documents mentioned that Epstein tried to enter a funding round of his company in 2014.
What Binance Research or its analysts usually clarify:
If the post you saw was an analysis from Binance Research, they likely emphasized that, although Epstein had investments, he had no influence on the Bitcoin protocol. The consensus is that Epstein was simply a "financial opportunist" who saw the potential of cryptocurrencies to move capital out of the traditional banking system that he was already starting to investigate.
Honestly, I am surprised if you are not holding $PEPE at this level. PEPE has been here before. In past cycles, this exact low price compression zone turned into a massive expansion phase. History does not repeat itself perfectly... but it often rhymes, and PEPE is once again sitting in a high probability accumulation area. At this moment, PEPE is trading near the lower end of its recent range, an area where sellers are losing strength and long-term buyers often quietly step in. This is the kind of level where smart money accumulates patiently, not when the price is already pumping. PEPE is offering a new long opportunity near the bottom while sentiment remains weak and attention is low. If momentum starts to build like it did before, PEPE has plenty of room for a strong upward expansion again. The best time to hold is when no one is talking about it. PEPE at lows has always been a golden setup .. don't miss it. 🐸🔥📈 Click below to take the trade $PEPE {spot}(PEPEUSDT)

Hello, I have 3540 USDC in Binance Earn Flexible but they only give me 0.12 USDC in daily earnings, which does not correspond to the 12% they offer. What is the reason for this?
