On February 10, Federal Reserve Governor Milan noted that while the Fed’s balance sheet needs to shrink, policymakers should not be deterred from launching large-scale asset purchases during economic crises. “Even as the balance sheet contracts, the central bank must still retain the ability to deploy quantitative easing (QE) in a crisis,” he said. He emphasized that the U.S. dollar would need to see a “truly significant fluctuation” to have a meaningful impact on inflation. Turning to Fed independence, Milan stated that central bank independence delivers better policy outcomes—but it is a means to an end, not an end in itself. “During crises, the Fed and Treasury will cooperate extensively,” he noted. “There is no absolute, 100% pure independence; however, making decisions based on economic needs is critical: we tighten when the economy requires it, loosen when it needs it, and not for any other reason.”

On February 10, Polymarket Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Neal Kumar took to X to announce the firm has filed a lawsuit against the state of Massachusetts in federal court. Kumar emphasized that U.S. Congress has granted the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) exclusive federal jurisdiction over event contracts—superseding state authority. Since these markets operate nationally, he noted, key issues must be resolved in federal court. States like Massachusetts and Nevada’s attempts to shut down Polymarket US and other prediction markets via state courts cannot override federal law and would cause them to miss out on opportunities to build future markets, Kumar added. While pursuing resolution in federal court, Kumar stated he remains willing to engage with other states and advocate for user rights.

On February 10, Cathie Wood—often nicknamed “Wood Sister”—said in her latest podcast that Bitcoin isn’t the traditional “digital gold” in a literal sense, so its short-term performance doesn’t align with gold’s. Since 2019, the correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and gold returns has been just 0.14. That’s exactly Bitcoin’s value as a diversifying asset: low-correlation assets boost a portfolio’s risk-adjusted returns. She noted the key to successful diversification is adding new assets with low correlation, and Bitcoin fits that bill. Moreover, Wood defines Bitcoin as an asset embodying “three revolutions in one”: - A global digital sovereign monetary system; - A new layer for the internet stack supporting native currency, intelligent agents, and commerce; - A new asset class (with Bitcoin as the most secure, largest network representing crypto assets). She describes Bitcoin as being in the early stages of the innovation S-curve. Like all historically disruptive tec
