U.S. President Donald Trump is experiencing a significant backlash from a group known as the MAHA moms, following his recent order concerning glyphosate. New York Times posted on X that this decision has been described as the 'final straw' for many women who feel deceived by the administration's actions. The sentiment among these women is one of betrayal, as they believe the promises made to them have not been fulfilled. This development highlights growing discontent among a key demographic that previously supported Trump, potentially impacting his political standing.

On February 20, Jin10 reported that Germany's Der Spiegel magazine cited sources claiming that Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the former commander of the Ukrainian military and Ukraine's ambassador to the UK, approved the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. According to Jin10, the report states that the decision was made by Zaluzhnyi without the approval of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, indicating that the Zelensky administration was unaware of the sabotage plan. It is reported that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was aware of the plan to explode the Nord Stream pipelines beforehand. In 2022, CIA personnel reportedly met with Ukrainian officials in Kyiv, where Ukrainian experts explained the idea of destroying the gas pipelines to the Americans.

Japan's government has unveiled a fiscal package that includes record spending, tax cuts, and debt-financed deficits, resulting in national debt surpassing 250% of GDP. According to NS3.AI, this development heightens pressure on the Bank of Japan to increase interest rates, a move that historically leads to substantial Bitcoin selloffs due to yen carry trade unwinds. Despite this, the ongoing growth in debt strengthens Bitcoin's long-term appeal as a safeguard against sovereign debt risks and currency depreciation.

Wall Street lenders have recently purchased a significant portion of certificates of deposit (CDs) issued by Indian banks, according to sources. Bloomberg posted on X that this move comes as yields on these financial instruments have increased, attracting interest from international investors. The surge in yields has made Indian CDs more appealing to foreign lenders, who are seeking higher returns in the current economic climate. This trend highlights the growing interest in Indian financial products as global investors look for opportunities in emerging markets. The increased demand for Indian CDs is part of a broader strategy by Wall Street firms to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on favorable yield conditions. This development underscores the interconnectedness of global financial markets and the influence of yield fluctuations on investment decisions. As yields continue to rise, it is expected that more international investors may turn their attention to Indian financial instruments, further integrating the country's banking sector into the global financial system.

According to a report shared by CryptoQuant, Bitcoin has dropped below a structural on-chain support level that has historically separated bull and bear phases across previous market cycles. source: https://www.ethnews.com/bitcoin-falls-below-key-level-that-defined-past-market-cycles/

Goldman Sachs predicts that gold prices will gradually climb, reaching $5,400 per ounce by the end of 2026, with diversification providing upside potential. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs expects central bank gold purchases to accelerate again in 2026, at the pace seen in 2025. Their core view is that central bank demand, coupled with increased holdings by private investors (primarily in response to Fed rate cuts), will support a steady rise in gold prices. Goldman Sachs notes that if private sector diversification efforts (especially call option structures) increase, the market will face significant upside risks. Furthermore, while the medium-term trend remains upward, significant volatility is possible. (Golden Ten)

Bitcoin's recent price drop is not attributed to fears surrounding quantum computing, according to Bitcoin developer Matt Carallo. According to Cointelegraph, Carallo expressed his disagreement with the notion that Bitcoin's current valuation is significantly impacted by quantum risks during an appearance on the Unchained podcast with journalist Laura Shin. He argued that if quantum computing were truly a concern, Ethereum would be outperforming Bitcoin. However, Ether (ETH) has seen a 58% decline since a major crypto market crash in early October, currently trading at $1,957. Carallo's remarks come amid discussions among Bitcoin enthusiasts who suggest that apprehensions about quantum computing's impact on blockchain technology have contributed to Bitcoin's 46% drop from its October peak of $126,100 to its current trading value of $67,162, as reported by CoinMarketCap. Some Bitcoin users have criticized the blockchain's developers for not advancing quickly enough to make the network quantum-resistant, while the Ethereum Foundation has announced its commitment to long-term post-quantum readiness as part of its security strategy. Carallo acknowledged the long-term risks posed by quantum computing to Bitcoin but emphasized that market makers do not perceive it as an immediate threat. He suggested that the Bitcoin community might be seeking a scapegoat for the cryptocurrency's lackluster performance. Carallo proposed that Bitcoin's price decline is more likely due to its competition for capital against emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, which he described as a "massive new investment class" that demands substantial capital. Not all Bitcoin advocates share Carallo's perspective. Charles Edwards, founder of Capriole Investments, stated at Cointelegraph's LONGITUDE event on February 12 that the risk of quantum computing should be factored into Bitcoin's valuation until the network becomes quantum-resistant. Edwards emphasized the need to discount Bitcoin's value based on this risk until it is addressed. Meanwhile, entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary expressed in December that utilizing quantum computing to compromise Bitcoin may not be the most efficient use of resources, suggesting that the technology holds greater potential in fields like medical research. In May 2025, BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, updated its registration statement for the iShares Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) to caution investors about the potential risks quantum computing poses to the integrity of the Bitcoin network.

Copper is on track for its third consecutive weekly decline as inventories monitored by exchanges continue to rise due to reduced demand from industrial users. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by the copper market. The accumulation of stockpiles reflects a slowdown in industrial activity, which has been impacting the demand for the metal. This trend is contributing to the downward pressure on copper prices, as market participants remain cautious about the near-term outlook. The situation underscores the broader concerns about the global economic environment and its effect on commodity markets.

Stablecoins have not deviated from the existing financial system. Their market structure, risk spillover, and institutional impact largely perpetuate and amplify the existing pattern of the current monetary and payment system.

There are only two possible scenarios for Bitcoin and altcoins going forward: either Bitcoin will drop from $126,000 to $60,000, which is the full extent of the decline, or Bitcoin will continue to plummet along with the stock market crash.
