CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

2025.04.16 12:40:33

On April 16th, CBS News, citing multiple sources, stated that although the White House has been attempting to claim that Trump administration officials have been unified on U.S. tariff policy, internal differences over the policy had emerged weeks prior to Trump signing the so-called "reciprocal tariff" executive order on April 2nd. A senior Trump adviser was reported to have warned in private conversations that some tariff proposals could have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy into a downward spiral. CBS reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett and Trump's trade and manufacturing policy adviser Peter Navarro had a confrontation in late March in the office of White House Chief of Staff Susan Wells. According to multiple sources, Navarro advocated for a uniform 25% tariff on $3 trillion worth of imported goods, while Bennett, a former Wall Street investor, warned that this move would trigger market turmoil and outlined various risk scenarios. The report said that there was constantly heated rhetoric being exchanged.

On-chain ETH's largest long previously sold high and bought low, averaging a $90 drop, with the current position's unrealized gains expanding to $5.26 million

Feb. 26 — Per on-chain data from Coinbob Popular Address Monitoring, the largest ETH long whale (address starting with 0xa5b...) currently holds a 15x leveraged ETH long position, with unrealized gains swelling to $5.26 million (53%). The whale’s current position totals ~70,000 ETH (valued at ~$144 million) with an average entry price of $1,991 — making it the largest long position on the Hyperliquid platform. **Key Historical Moves**: - On Feb. 9, the address opened a ~60,000 ETH long position at an average $2,086, briefly falling underwater post-entry. - On Feb. 14, as ETH surged to ~$2,100, it closed nearly half its stake (~29,000 ETH), locking in $1.31 million in profits. As ETH prices later dipped, the whale avoided liquidation. Over the past 10 days, it gradually reloaded the sold portion in the $1,868–$1,990 range, completing a "sell high, buy low" trade. This rebalancing cut its average cost from $2,086 to $1,991 (a ~$90 reduction). With ETH extending gains toda

View: Bitcoin Price Will Not Be Explicitly Suppressed by ETF Approval Participating Institutions, but Price Discovery Mechanism May Be Affected

February 26 — The debate over Bitcoin ETF mechanics, sparked by speculation about Jane Street’s market manipulation, continues to simmer. Bitwise advisor Jeff Park noted the question of whether Bitcoin prices were suppressed by Jane Street isn’t targeting a single institution — it’s rooted in the structural features of Bitcoin ETF architecture. Every Authorized Participant (AP) — including Jane Street Capital, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and others — holds an exemption allowing them to create and redeem ETF shares. This lets them flexibly manage market positions (including hedging via futures or derivatives) without needing to buy actual Bitcoin, which can impact price discovery. The operational gray area stems from regulatory exemptions and SEC approval for physical delivery. While there’s no evidence any AP explicitly suppressed Bitcoin prices, the current structure could distort the natural price discovery mechanism — warranting scrutiny from regulators and investors.
