**February 3rd** Per latest public records, Michael Saylor donated $25,000 to a charity gala—an approach Epstein’s circle reportedly used to lure wealthy individuals—in exchange for an invitation to Epstein’s elite social event. Epstein’s New York publicist Peggy Siegal, in an email, described Saylor at the gathering as “a weirdo, a drugged zombie: completely uncharismatic, unable to communicate, and very unsociable.” Notably, there is no additional information linking Saylor to criminal charges, sex scandals, visits to Epstein’s island, flight logs, or direct communication with Epstein. Records indicate Saylor had no motivation to join Epstein’s “social circle” after his experience in it.

Feb 3 – Caixin reports that India’s Reserve Bank, as BRICS’ rotating chair, has formally proposed establishing a “BRICS Digital Currency Interoperability” system. The plan would use blockchain to build a cross-border settlement network that bypasses the U.S. dollar and directly links the payment systems of BRICS nations. The proposal does not call for issuing a new “BRICS Coin.” Instead, it’s a practical interoperable platform or settlement bridge, likely built on a permissioned blockchain (consortium chain) framework. Member nations’ central banks would act as validating nodes to maintain a distributed ledger. This setup aims to boost cross-border settlement efficiency and transparency while upholding national sovereignty.

February 3rd — Crypto ETFs have seen consistent net outflows since January 19, according to analyst @alicharts, who flagged the trend yesterday. During the week of January 19, ETFs sold off roughly 17,400 bitcoins; the following week saw another 9,540 BTC exit via these funds. This marks two straight weeks of outflows after prices dropped below the ETF cost basis. The analyst warns the recent rebound should be approached with caution: without fresh capital inflows, the uptick may be a retracement, not a trend reversal. If selling pressure ramps up, the next critical level to watch is the 200-week moving average, currently near $57,000. Historically, this level has acted as a key macro support during extended pullbacks and could also be a spot for long-term demand to rebound strongly. Per BlockBeats, as of press time, U.S. crypto ETFs posted net inflows on the week’s first trading day — with no signs of panic selling among ETF investors triggered by market concerns.
