February 10 — The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday that Daren Li, a dual citizen of China and Saint Kitts and Nevis, was sentenced in absentia to 20 years in prison plus three years of supervised release by the U.S. Central District Court of California on February 9. Li was convicted for his role in a global cryptocurrency investment scam that defrauded victims of more than $73 million. The 42-year-old pleaded guilty in November 2024 to participating in a transnational crypto scam and money laundering conspiracy based in a fraud hub in Cambodia. But he cut off his electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and fled in December 2025, and remains a fugitive. Prosecutors said the scam ring targeted victims via social media, phone calls, text messages and online dating platforms, building "professional or romantic relationships" to earn trust. The group used fake crypto trading platforms and phishing sites to trick people into investing in fraudulent projects. In some cases

Feb 10: As Bitcoin and U.S. stocks rebounded, Ethereum (ETH) prices climbed above $2,100. Previously, ETH had plunged 43% in 9 days to a low of $1,750, followed by a roughly 22% technical rebound. However, multiple data indicators signal market caution toward ETH’s short-term trend. In the derivatives market, the two-month ETH futures annualized premium is only ~3%—below the 5% neutral threshold—indicating weak trader risk appetite, with bears still in control. Even with the price bounce, derivative sentiment has not improved meaningfully over the past month. From on-chain and fundamental angles, ETH has underperformed the broader crypto market by ~9% year-to-date (YTD), raising questions about fund flows. Still, Ethereum maintains absolute leadership in Total Value Locked (TVL) and fee revenue: its mainnet accounts for 58% of industry TVL, and combined with Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, that share exceeds 65%. Yet key issues persist. Slowed on-chain activity has ended Ethereu

**February 10th Update** At the Ondo Summit in New York, former U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chair Patrick McHenry and White House advisor Patrick Witt said during a live broadcast that U.S. cryptocurrency legislation is accelerating—with a landmark market structure bill expected to pass in the coming months. McHenry projected the final version could reach the president’s desk for signature as early as Memorial Day. Witt added that since the *Genius Act* passed, former President Trump has made this crypto bill a personal priority. On negotiations: A recent White House meeting on stablecoin yields reached new consensus on key issues and clarified still-inviolable “red lines.” The legislation is now shifting from building basic consensus to drafting specific provisions, with the central goal of clearing both the Senate and House. Stablecoin yields remain the biggest sticking point. Witt noted there’s broad agreement to ban misleading claims (e.g., framing stablecoi

Feb. 10 Former President Trump said his Fed chair nominee Kevin Wash could push the U.S. economy to grow as much as 15%—a claim widely viewed as overly optimistic by the public, underscoring that Wash would face heavy political and policy pressure if confirmed. In a Fox Business Network interview, Trump noted Wash was his "second choice" for the role, bluntly calling Jerome Powell’s past appointment "a big mistake." He added that if Wash "performs up to his potential," the U.S. economy could hit 15% growth—or more. Trump did not specify which metric the growth target refers to, however. For context: The U.S. economy is projected to grow ~2.4% this year, with a 50-year average annual growth rate of ~2.8%. U.S. GDP growth has rarely topped 15% historically. Trump has repeatedly said he wants the Fed chair to pursue more accommodative monetary policy, and stressed he wouldn’t have picked Wash if he backed rate hikes. The comments are also viewed as an effort by Trump to signal
