Former Treasury Secretary Downplays Economic Recession Concerns, Calls Stock Market Pullback a Natural Phenomenon

2025.03.14 02:24:27

March 14: Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin downplayed the risk of a U.S. economic recession and played down the current stock market sell-off, viewing it as an adjustment in response to U.S. President Trump's aggressive trade policy. Mnuchin stated in an interview on Thursday, "We entered the market when it was already fully priced. Therefore, I think a 5% to 10% adjustment in the S&P index or Nasdaq index is actually reasonable." "The market has indeed been driven by a significant amount of tech spending, particularly in artificial intelligence. To a certain extent, this is a natural adjustment in the market," Mnuchin said. "Some of it is the market's concern about tariffs and their implications." He advised investors not to "overreact." He said, "I don't think we will enter a recession at all. As we reduce government spending, the economy may slow down slightly, but I don't think investors should be worried about an economic recession." He also mentioned that the current biggest concern is the U.S.'s substantial fiscal deficit and called on Republicans to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts to mitigate the impact on borrowing. (FXStreet)

Analysis: The number of non-empty Bitcoin wallets has dropped by around 108,700, and sell-offs by retail investors may signal a bullish trend.

Santiment noted in a post that the number of non-empty Bitcoin wallets reached 59.99 million on October 16, and has since fallen by around 108,700. BTC’s price has now dropped below $75,000, a sign that some small-scale holders may be losing patience. Santiment emphasized that the decline in wallet count does not necessarily mean Bitcoin’s actual usage is shrinking. During extended market downturns, small traders often merge wallets or liquidate positions out of panic; this retail capitulation has historically been a hallmark preceding major crypto market rallies. If wallet numbers keep declining while BTC’s price stabilizes, this signal will turn more bullish.

Polymarket adds a withdrawal address whitelist feature; new addresses require email verification and a 48-hour waiting period.

Polymarket Vice President of Engineering Josh Stevens announced that the platform has added a withdrawal address whitelist feature. Users can restrict withdrawals to approved addresses; adding a new address requires email verification and a 48-hour lock period. If the operation is not initiated by the user, they can cancel the new address application via a verification email. Stevens noted that this feature is designed to mitigate fund risks in scenarios like account session theft or users mistakenly signing malicious transactions, preventing attackers from transferring funds or positions to unauthorized addresses. He advised users of the latest wallet version to enable this feature, which can be configured via "Settings → Account". Additionally, the platform is developing Passkey support to further boost account security. For users who have not yet used the deposit wallet, the team is building a wallet migration tool; users who don’t want to wait can also access this feature immediately by creating a new account. The platform also plans to roll out more built-in security measures that do not require manual activation by users in the deposit wallet.

Herdr launches official mobile app: Take over Claude Code on the go, assign tasks via voice, and ask follow-up questions with screenshots.

Insight Beating AI Flash News: Herdr is a tool specifically designed for managing AI programming assistants, essentially an Agent version of tmux. Claude Code and Codex handle code writing and task execution, while Herdr centralizes their management. Developers can run multiple Agents simultaneously, track each’s progress, and assign tasks between them. Background tasks continue running even when the terminal window is closed. On November 10, Herdr announced the launch of its official mobile app, supporting iPhone, iPad, and Android. This allows developers to remotely view and operate running Agents when away from their computers. For example, if Codex is modifying code on a PC and the user is out and finds it stuck on permission confirmation, they can resolve it directly via their phone. The app centrally lists Agents across different PCs, categorized by status such as requiring manual intervention, completed, and active. Tapping a task opens its live running terminal, where users can view output, input commands, and advance work. The mobile app also supports pasting screenshots, uploading photos, and issuing voice commands directly to Agents. Voice recognition can use models downloaded locally to the phone, or Apple’s or Google’s speech recognition services. Herdr launched a standalone herdr-core runtime and new desktop client at the end of October. The mobile version connects to the PC’s herdr-core via SSH, directly accessing the original terminal—no Herdr account required, and no data passes through official relay servers. Remote connections typically rely on Tailscale or other VPNs. The app is now available on the App Store and Google Play, free to use, but it is only compatible with the new herdr-core and does not support the older Herdr TUI for now.

Analysis: Wallets holding 1 to 100 BTC have added a total of 14,207 BTC over the past two weeks, strengthening bullish signals.

Santiment stated in a post that over the past two weeks, wallets holding 1 to 10 BTC added a total of 10,076 BTC, while wallets holding 10 to 100 BTC added 4,131 BTC, resulting in a combined net accumulation of 14,207 BTC. The on-chain analytics firm noted that this group of holders is generally more patient than small retail wallets, tending to accumulate during market panic and reduce exposure following strong rebounds. Santiment views the inflow of more than 14,000 BTC into this wallet cohort amid heavy market sell-offs as a bullish signal, though it remains to be seen if this trend will persist. If BTC stabilizes at the $75,000 level and wallets holding 1 to 100 BTC continue to accumulate, a return to $78,000 and $80,000 would further reinforce the judgment that a local bottom is forming; if prices fall below recent lows and the relevant wallets shift to selling, this signal will weaken.
