Odaily Planet Daily reports: US President Trump: We are not satisfied with the negotiations with Iran. We demand that Iran not enrich uranium. Iran has not found the right answer. I am not worried about the impact of an attack on Iran on oil prices.

Odaily Planet Daily reports: US President Trump: I have instructed every federal agency of the US government to immediately cease using Anthropic technology. We don't need it, we don't want it, and we will no longer do business with them! For agencies like the Department of War that use Anthropic products, there will be a six-month phase-out period. Anthropic had better behave itself and provide assistance during this phase-out period; otherwise, I will use all of my presidential power to force them to comply and they will face significant civil and criminal consequences.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Ryan VanGrack, Coinbase's Vice President of Legal Affairs and Head of Global Litigation, stated that some US state governments are "misleading the public" and misinterpreting federal law in their restrictions on prediction market businesses, attempting to expand state-level regulatory power. Following its recent partnership with prediction market platform Kalshi to launch related products, Coinbase has filed lawsuits in Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, and Nevada. Regulatory agencies in these states previously issued stop-loss orders or warnings, deeming contracts related to sports events illegal betting. VanGrack stated that these actions pose a "real and imminent threat" to users, prompting Coinbase to seek a federal court ruling. VanGrack pointed out that the US Commodity Exchange Act explicitly grants the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) exclusive jurisdiction over the derivatives market, and prediction market products, including event contracts, should fall under federal regulation. He believes that the states' attempts to exclude sports event contracts from the definition of derivatives lack legal basis. VanGrack denied claims by some state governments that the market would lack regulation without state-level intervention, emphasizing that the CFTC has long overseen the multi-trillion-dollar derivatives market and has already issued enforcement warnings regarding insider trading in event contracts. Coinbase also pointed out that exchange-based prediction markets are fundamentally different from traditional sports betting. In CFTC-regulated exchanges like Kalshi, prices are determined by market participants, while traditional betting institutions have operators setting odds and directly betting against each other. VanGrack stated that states can still play a role in consumer protection and fraud prevention, but placing the national derivatives market under a "hodgepodge of 50 different regulatory agencies" would damage market stability and investor confidence.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Morgan Stanley has applied for a new national trust bank license to conduct digital asset custody business and plans to provide staking and trading services to investment clients, demonstrating its strategic direction of continuously increasing investment in the crypto space. The application was submitted to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) by Morgan Stanley Digital Trust on February 18. If approved, the license will allow Morgan Stanley to conduct digital asset custody and related services as a banking institution. This move marks a further shift in Morgan Stanley's attitude towards the crypto asset sector. In recent years, the bank has gradually shifted from a relatively cautious stance to a more active participation in the digital asset market, consistent with the overall trend of traditional financial institutions. Previously, Morgan Stanley appointed senior executive Amy Oldenburg to lead its digital asset business strategy and applied to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana ETF products, while also planning to launch its own digital wallet this year. Morgan Stanley's license application comes at a time when several crypto-native institutions are seeking compliant banking status. Several companies have recently received conditional approvals, indicating that the integration of traditional finance and the crypto industry is accelerating.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Mark Karpelès, former CEO of the defunct exchange Mt. Gox, recently proposed a Bitcoin hard fork to recover approximately 79,956 BTC stolen in the 2011 hack, worth about $5.2 billion at current prices. The proposal targets a wallet address associated with the 2011 Mt. Gox system breach, which received nearly 80,000 Bitcoins after the attack and remained untouched for over 15 years. Under current Bitcoin rules, these funds can only be transferred if the corresponding private key is held. According to the proposal, the new rules would allow the unspent outputs of a recovered Mt. Gox address to be controlled via a signature, thus bringing the funds into the existing judicial oversight and compensation process to repay Mt. Gox creditors. Karpelès stated that this proposal is only a starting point for discussion, intending to limit the rule change to a single address and activate it at a future block height. However, the proposal also acknowledges that this solution requires a coordinated upgrade across the entire network, and if some community members refuse to support it, it could lead to a blockchain split. It is important to note that these approximately 80,000 BTC are not currently part of the assets allocated to Mt. Gox creditors, nor are they controlled by the bankruptcy trustee.
