The US dollar fell in Asian trading on Thursday, halting Wednesday's rebound, as renewed concerns about a potential dollar depreciation overshadowed Treasury Secretary Bessant's reaffirmation of a strong dollar policy. "The new Bond King," Gundlach, stated that the dollar has not acted as a safe-haven currency for some time, as investors prefer tangible assets such as precious metals. Damien Loh, chief investment officer and co-founder of hedge fund Ensemble Capital, said, "Bessant used 'strategic ambiguity' when talking about the dollar." He explained, "A comprehensive weak dollar policy like the one Trump initially advocated could become self-reinforcing and get out of control, so Bessant is trying to mitigate that expectation, although I think they still want the dollar to weaken gradually."

Odaily Planet Daily reports that 0G has announced a collaboration with AmericanFortress to launch a private and compliant transaction infrastructure for AI agents, aiming to fill the critical gap in trusted identity and privacy transaction layers within the AI agent economy. 0G stated that as AI agents increasingly execute on-chain transactions, manage vaults, and interact with DeFi protocols, existing transaction architectures based on plaintext addresses and lacking privacy protection have exposed significant security and compliance risks. The report states that the solution involves 0G providing the AI agent computation layer, while AmericanFortress provides a one-time transaction mechanism based on dynamically anonymous addresses. This allows humans and AI agents to transfer value using names rather than public on-chain addresses, reducing risks such as address poisoning and transaction hijacking, and ensuring transaction uncorrelation for third-party observers. Simultaneously, this infrastructure strengthens privacy while supporting cryptographic proofs and decentralized identity verification, accommodating compliant disclosure requirements, and is designed for large-scale machine-generated transaction scenarios.

According to a letter of inquiry disclosed by the U.S. Congress, several members of Congress have written to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, raising serious questions about his decision to disband the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team (NCET) and reduce overall cryptocurrency enforcement efforts while holding a large amount of cryptocurrency. The letter states that this decision may violate Section 208(a) of Title 18 of the United States Code regarding conflicts of interest. The letter points out that Blanche disclosed in January 2025 that he held between $158,000 and $470,000 worth of cryptocurrency (primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum), and in April of the same year, he issued a memorandum to reduce the Department of Justice's cryptocurrency enforcement actions. His assets were not disposed of until late May or early June. The members of Congress are demanding that he explain why he did not recuse himself from the decision-making process and provide a detailed explanation of the specific basis for the Department of Justice's previous claim that the matter had been "appropriately flagged, processed, and approved." The letter requests that the Deputy Attorney General provide relevant communication records, ethics review documents, and responses to seven specific questions by February 11, 2026. The lawmaker emphasized that it is crucial to enforce the law against crimes involving cryptocurrencies, and that this inquiry fulfills Congress's oversight of the Department of Justice's personnel and policy decisions.
