Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad posted on the X platform in response to "the White House's agreement goals may fall short." He stated that Coinbase and the company's CEO Brian Armstrong have been involved in negotiations for months and have committed to several potential compromise solutions. Coinbase's core goal has always been to protect the interests of the GENIUS Act and the general American public. He also thanked Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Digital Asset Advisory Council, for his efforts in pushing for problem resolution and looks forward to the smooth implementation of the President's crypto agenda.According to senior journalist Sander Lutz from crypto media Decrypt, the White House originally hoped to reach an agreement on stablecoin yield issues before the weekend, but a banking industry insider directly involved in the negotiations stated that this goal would not be achieved. The current divide between the crypto industry and banking lobbyists regarding whether stablecoins should generate yield remains significant. This controversy has become a major obstacle to advancing the crypto market structure bill and directly points to Coinbase CEO's insistence that stablecoins should be able to generate yield for users.According to previous reports from ChainCatcher, David Sacks, the White House's crypto and AI director, stated that the crypto industry has made significant concessions regarding stablecoin yields, and banks should respond accordingly.

The development team behind Worldcoin, Tools for Humanity (TFH), is collaborating with Gap, Visa, and Tinder to promote the implementation of its "World ID" human verification product.Reports indicate that some Gap stores in San Francisco have deployed "Orb" devices to collect facial and iris information from users to generate World ID. Meanwhile, TFH plans to launch a payment card related to Visa, allowing users with World ID to spend digital assets. The dating app Tinder is also testing this identity system in Japan to verify that users are real individuals and that their age information is accurate.TFH states that the Orb device will convert facial and iris images into anonymous digital identifiers and store them on the user's device, with the company itself not retaining the original biometric data. Its business model aims to generate revenue by charging applications for verification service fees.

GoPlus Security warns users to be cautious of a new type of Android malware called PromptSpy. This malware lures users into downloading APK files through phishing websites (such as those disguised as bank websites) and can remotely control devices after obtaining accessibility permissions.What makes PromptSpy unique is its use of the Google Gemini API to analyze the device interface and develop attack strategies, allowing it to better adapt to different phone brands and system versions, thereby increasing the stealth and success rate of the attacks.

OpenMind and Circle have officially announced a strategic partnership to jointly launch the world's first payment infrastructure specifically designed for autonomous intelligent agents and real-world embodied AI. By deeply integrating Circle's USDC stablecoin with OpenMind's x402 protocol module, this collaboration enables robots and AI entities to achieve direct and autonomous payments for energy, services, and data in the physical world.Based on the collaboration between OpenMind and Circle, the FABRIC Foundation will accelerate the implementation and large-scale deployment from two main directions: Robot Birthplace and Acceleration of Adoption.The payment infrastructure provided by OpenMind + Circle offers machines an "economic brain," while the FABRIC Foundation is responsible for the entire closed-loop chain of "birth, production, operation, and evolution." The synergy among these three will jointly give rise to a true machine economy era—where robots are no longer mere tools, but independent economic entities with autonomous perception, decision-making, action, and payment capabilities. In the coming months, more real-world deployment cases (such as automatic charging stations) are worth continuous attention.

The Ethereum Foundation announced the establishment of a dedicated DeFi support team, setting up a DeFi unit under the App Relations department to promote the development of decentralized finance protocols and strengthen its "DeFipunk" philosophy.The new team appointed former DELV CEO and MakerDAO governance architect Charles St. Louis as DeFi Protocol Specialist, and Gearbox Protocol co-founder Ivan (ivangbi) as DeFi Coordinator, with Jason Chaskin leading the overall App Relations work.The Ethereum Foundation stated that its ideal DeFi should possess characteristics such as permissionless, censorship-resistant, privacy-first, self-custodial, and open-source, emphasizing support for projects that truly align with these principles. Charles St. Louis stated, "DeFipunk" represents a core philosophy that DeFi should not just be an improved version of traditional finance, but rather a financial system that can only exist on Ethereum.

The South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has continued to face pressure on its market share following the "Bitcoin Misissue Incident." Data shows that as of last Friday, Bithumb's trading share among the five Korean won-denominated exchanges in South Korea has dropped to 24.8%, a significant decline from about 30% at the beginning of the year. Industry data indicates that Upbit remains in the lead with a 58.4% share, followed by Coinone at 13%, Korbit at 3.5%, and Gopax at 0.3%.On February 6, Bithumb mistakenly issued 2,000 bitcoins, worth 2,000 won (approximately $1.38), to some users during a promotional event, totaling an erroneous issuance of about 620,000 BTC, far exceeding its previously disclosed holding of 42,800 coins, raising doubts about its internal controls and financial management capabilities.The day after the incident, its market share fell from 31.5% on January 5 to just over 20%. To stabilize the situation, Bithumb implemented a week-long zero-fee promotion for all cryptocurrencies starting February 9, which temporarily boosted trading volume, and on February 10, the market share briefly rebounded to 31.5%. However, following the end of the promotion on February 16, the share quickly declined again.Meanwhile, competitors have clearly benefited. Coinone's share has doubled compared to a month ago, and Korbit's trading volume has increased by about 12.5 times, driven by expectations surrounding Mirae Asset Financial Group's acquisition of a 92% stake. Upbit is advancing a comprehensive share exchange plan with Naver Financial, while Gopax has been acquired by Binance, potentially reshaping the landscape of South Korean exchanges.

The official website of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission published a speech by Chairman Paul Atkins at the ETHDenver conference, outlining the agency's direction on cryptocurrency regulation, which mainly includes:Clarifying the "investment contract" framework: The Commission will study and publish a framework that clarifies under what circumstances crypto assets constitute investment contracts, as well as their formation and termination mechanisms.Innovation exemptions: Considering the establishment of innovation exemptions that allow for pilot trading of certain tokenized securities under restricted conditions, including limited trading on new platforms such as automated market makers, to accumulate experience for a long-term regulatory framework.Advancement of rules and guidance: Plans to initiate or advance rulemaking on topics such as financing pathways for crypto assets, broker-dealer custody for non-securities crypto assets (including payment stablecoins), and modernization of transfer agent rules; and continue to provide clarity for non-registration scenarios such as wallets and user interfaces through no-action letters and exemption orders.Regulatory philosophy: Paul Atkins emphasized that regulators should not react to short-term price fluctuations. The responsibility of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is to ensure adequate information disclosure and clear rules, allowing market participants to make decisions in a transparent environment, rather than "supporting prices."

According to FinanceFeeds, Russia plans to block foreign cryptocurrency exchange websites starting in the summer of 2026 to direct crypto activities to locally licensed platforms, reduce capital outflow, and strengthen regulation.This initiative stems from new legislation expected to advance in the spring, involving technical filtering by Roskomnadzor; Russian participants have a daily crypto trading volume of about 50 billion rubles, most of which occurs abroad.Sergey Shvetsov, chairman of the Moscow Exchange Supervisory Board, stated that Russian traders pay about $15 billion in commissions to global exchanges each year, and local platforms aim to compete for this market. Experts point out that completely blocking foreign platforms is challenging and may push activities toward opaque channels.

According to The Block, investment bank TD Cowen stated that filling the Democratic vacancies at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission could help advance negotiations on the U.S. crypto market structure bill.The investment bank pointed out that the biggest obstacle to the passage of this bill is not its core framework (i.e., whether digital assets should be regulated as securities by the SEC or as commodities by the CFTC), but rather a political dispute surrounding conflict of interest rules.Democrats are pushing for a ban to prevent senior government officials and their families from engaging in specific financial transactions involving digital assets. TD Cowen noted that, given Trump's involvement in the crypto project World Liberty Financial, this proposal would affect Trump and his family. Bloomberg estimated last month that Trump has made about $1.4 billion from his crypto project. The Trump family also holds a 20% stake in the mining company American Bitcoin.According to TD Cowen, it is unlikely that Democrats will abandon this demand, as the party has used Trump's crypto asset holdings as campaign material ahead of the midterm elections. Last month, no Democratic senators voted in favor of a bill in the Senate Agriculture Committee, citing concerns over Trump's crypto project. It remains unclear whether Democrats will support the Senate Banking Committee's bill.TD Cowen stated that Republicans oppose the proposal because they believe Trump would veto any legislation requiring his family to divest their crypto asset holdings. The report added that this disagreement has already caused a political stalemate, even as industry groups continue to negotiate the crypto regulatory framework.One possible path forward is for both parties to reach a compromise. In this scenario, Trump would agree to fill the Democratic vacancies at the SEC and CFTC. In return, Democrats would accept conflict of interest provisions that would only take effect after the next presidential inauguration.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Senate's cryptocurrency market structure bill has stalled over issues related to stablecoin yields.Bankers insist on a complete ban on stablecoin yields, arguing that it threatens bank deposit operations; the Digital Chamber of Commerce released a principles document today in response, willing to forgo interest on static holdings of stablecoins but insisting on retaining reward mechanisms related to liquidity provision and ecosystem participation, especially in the DeFi space. The White House has urged both sides to reach a compromise by the end of the month and may schedule a new round of meetings next week. Digital Chamber of Commerce CEO Cody Carbone stated that if bankers refuse to negotiate, the status quo will be the continued existence of reward mechanisms.
