According to The Block, the Federal Reserve recently announced a proposal to permanently remove the consideration of reputational risk factors from the banking regulatory framework, and has opened a 60-day public comment period.The proposal aims to ensure that banking regulatory decisions are based solely on substantive financial risks, preventing banks from refusing services due to customers' political views, religious beliefs, or involvement in legal but sensitive industries.Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle W. Bowman stated that there have been multiple cases of de-banking, and such discriminatory practices should not exist within the Federal Reserve's regulatory framework. Senator Cynthia Lummis welcomed the proposal, stating that this move will help the U.S. become a global hub for digital assets.

Wintermute released a market report on social media indicating that since the series of liquidations two weeks ago, BTC has attempted to break through the $70,000 mark multiple times without success. The lack of a decent rebound attempt is more compelling than the oscillating range itself. Price movements are choppy, liquidity is thin, and the range is narrowing with a lack of directional conviction.ETH fell below $1,900 this week, a level that is psychologically more significant than technically, with the level that ETH really needs to focus on being around $1,600. Although the price has stabilized, institutional demand does not seem to have returned, as we clearly observed in the previous price range of $85,000 to $95,000.The derivatives market reflects a lack of directional views and trading willingness, with the basis at multi-month lows, bearish option skew remaining high and continuing to rise, and open interest declining since October. On the trading desk, the capital flow is skewed towards selling activities.However, an interesting signal emerged mid-week, as high-net-worth investors briefly showed buying interest in some altcoins, which is a small but noteworthy spark of confidence in an overall defensive environment, though it quickly dissipated. As we entered the latter half of the week, the market fell back into oscillation, with any willingness to enter fading, indicating that the market is not yet ready to reward early positioning. Marginal activity remains driven by protection rather than conviction.

OpenMind and Circle have officially announced a strategic partnership to jointly launch the world's first payment infrastructure specifically designed for autonomous intelligent agents and real-world embodied AI. By deeply integrating Circle's USDC stablecoin with OpenMind's x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI entities to achieve direct and autonomous payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.Based on the collaboration between OpenMind and Circle, the FABRIC Foundation will accelerate the implementation and large-scale deployment from two main directions: Robot Birthplace and Acceleration of Adoption.The payment infrastructure provided by OpenMind + Circle offers machines an "economic brain," while the FABRIC Foundation is responsible for the entire closed-loop chain of "birth, production, operation, and evolution." The synergy among these three will jointly give rise to a true machine economy era—where robots are no longer mere tools, but independent economic entities with autonomous perception, decision-making, action, and payment capabilities. In the coming months, more real-world deployment cases (such as automatic charging stations) are worth continuous attention.

Presto Research Associate Researcher Min Jung stated that Bitcoin's drop below $63,000 seems to reflect a broad deterioration in cryptocurrency market sentiment rather than a single fundamental catalyst. In the short term, macro headlines, particularly those surrounding tariffs and resurfacing geopolitical uncertainties, are exacerbating the risk-off sentiment towards digital assets.Jung added, "It is noteworthy that even as traditional risk assets remain relatively resilient, cryptocurrencies have performed poorly recently. This divergence suggests that the sell-off is not purely driven by macro factors, but also reflects weak marginal demand, thinning liquidity conditions, and ongoing deleveraging within the crypto-native market."Bitrue Research Director Andri Fauzan Adziima stated, "We have seen massive long liquidations, with hundreds of millions evaporating, funding rates remaining negative, a sharp decline in open interest, and the futures market clearly leaning bearish. Short-term holders are suffering significant losses, but long-term holders have not yet begun large-scale selling; on-chain HODL signals indicate that some are quietly accumulating during this strategic de-risking process."Adziima pointed out that the $60,000-$63,000 range is a key support area for Bitcoin. If the price can hold steady at or above this level, the market may benefit from the damage caused to shorts by negative funding rates, creating conditions for a classic "squeeze after a washout." The analyst added that potential easing of macroeconomic conditions or a return of ETF funds could further support this trend.Adziima stated that, on the other hand, if it falls below $60,000, in the worst-case scenario, an accelerated chain liquidation due to worsening macro conditions could open the door to a drop towards the mid-$55,000s or even as low as $47,000. Adziima remarked, "At that point, we might ultimately force some long-term holders to capitulate, turning this into a deeper bear market extension before the true cycle bottom arrives."

According to a report by the Daily News on Tuesday citing sources, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi expressed concerns about further interest rate hikes during a meeting with Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda last week. If the report is true, Takaichi's recent refusal to raise rates again may complicate the Bank of Japan's planning, as coordination with the newly appointed government would become more challenging.As a result of this report, the yen weakened against both the dollar and the euro. Ueda stated that last Monday's meeting primarily involved a general exchange on the economic and financial situation, and noted that the Prime Minister did not make any specific monetary policy requests. Takaichi herself refrained from discussing the specific details of their meeting, only expressing her hope that the central bank would work closely with the government to achieve its 2% inflation target, accompanied by wage growth.As the meeting took place, market participants speculated that rising living costs due to the weak yen and other factors could prompt the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates in March or April.
