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)

On May 30, monitoring from crypto analytics tool GMGN shows that POD (dphn.ai), a token from the Base ecosystem, saw a sharp rally of over 35% today, pushing its market cap above $137 million. The token’s 24-hour trading volume reached $1.2 million. Back on May 12, AI laboratory Dolphin announced that all protocol revenue would be used to buy back POD tokens from the open market. Holders can stake their POD in the xPOD treasury to earn rewards. The Dolphin Network uses a Peer-to-Pool architecture to repurpose idle GPUs: each AI model runs in a dedicated GPU pool, with tasks assigned randomly to network nodes—there’s no direct buy/sell order book matching.

Users can purchase credits directly from the protocol, with support for payments in POD, ETH, BTC, USDC, XMR, and ZEC. All protocol revenue is earmarked for POD buybacks to directly offset inflation.
