Trump Warns, "Powell Would Have Been Out of Office by Now," Bostic Says President Can Influence the Fed

2 hours ago

On February 5, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would not have tapped Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair had Warsh indicated a willingness to raise interest rates. “If he’d come in and said, ‘I want to raise rates,’ he wouldn’t have this job—absolutely not,” Trump told NBC News in an interview Wednesday. He added there’s “no question” the Federal Reserve will cut rates because “our rates are too high,” though “we’re a rich country again.” When asked if Warsh understood Trump wanted him to lower the benchmark interest rate, the president replied: “I think he gets it, but I think he wanted to do his own thing anyway.” Additionally, Trump is seeking to legally remove Fed Governor Lael Brainard over alleged mortgage fraud involvement—a case currently under Supreme Court review. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told a House Financial Services Committee hearing he believes the Fed is an independent institution, but the president has the right to weigh in on Fed decisions.

Binance saw a net inflow of $50 million in the last 24 hours and $1.3 billion in the last 7 days

February 5th: Per DeFiLlama data, Binance recorded a $50 million net inflow in the past 24 hours, with a net inflow of over $1.3 billion in the past seven days—pushing its total assets on the platform above $142.4 billion. Previously, FUD circulated in overseas crypto communities claiming Binance saw over $22 billion in asset outflows last week, but on-chain data debunked the rumor as false. CZ (Changpeng Zhao) noted recent overseas community activity has been targeted by smear attacks from competitors. In a post, he flagged an account “X” (863,000 followers, nicknamed “Wei”) as a potential scammer, which frequently shares forged AI images of him. “Who would pretend to be a BNB supporter, using fake AI-generated images for months just to spread FUD? I can’t think of any other angle—this seems like the work of a self-proclaimed competitor. They’re more focused on us than on their own operations.”

Multicoin Co-Founder's Deleted Tweet Before Resigning: No Longer Believe in the Web3 Vision

On February 5th, Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani responded to a "bear market rant" from community user Taran (@Taran_ss) — a post he quickly deleted — with the following comments: “Crypto isn’t nearly as fun as many people — myself included — once thought it would be. I used to buy into the Web3 vision, the dApp hype. Now I don’t. Blockchain is fundamentally an asset ledger: it’ll reshape finance, but that’s it. DeFi’s another area worth watching, sure. Crypto will keep improving, but all the truly interesting questions have already been answered — except for on-chain privacy/confidentiality. (I still think Zama will win that race.)” Earlier today, Samani announced his resignation from Multicoin Capital, noting he’ll remain Chairman of Forward Industries (the largest SOL treasury holder) while taking a break to explore new tech directions. In a follow-up tweet, Samani clarified he’s still extremely bullish on SOL and crypto, and will stay engaged in the space both per

Huobi Responds to Binance Overseas Withdrawal FUD: Platform Funds Continue to Flow In Net, Withdrawal Safety on Chain Should Be Noted

February 5 – Binance co-founder He Yi recently addressed the “withdrawal push” launched by the overseas community: “Some community members have launched a large-scale withdrawal push. While it’s still unclear why deposits into Binance actually increased after the push kicked off, I think it’s a good thing to regularly conduct stress tests for all platforms.” He Yi also reminded users to double-check withdrawal addresses during the withdrawal process and avoid mistakes, as on-chain funds sent to an incorrect address can’t be recovered. Meanwhile, sharp accusations targeting Binance have emerged in the market. Community user Rand (@RandySparkys) made unsubstantiated claims that “Binance is already insolvent,” citing allegations including “over $22 billion in asset outflows over the past week,” “platform usage at a four-year low,” “Binance has sued those questioning its solvency,” and “CZ has sued those accusing him of fraud.” The authenticity of these FUD claims remains unconfirmed
