The SEC has dropped its three year long enforcement action against Gemini Trust Company with prejudice, meaning the SEC cannot refile the case on the similar claims.
The dismissal follows the 100% in-kind return of crypto assets worth more than $940 million plus interest to 3,40,000 Gemini Earn investors.
The case, filed in January 2023, alleged that the Gemini Earn lending program constituted an unregistered securities offering.
The dismissal adds to a growing list of SEC crypto enforcement retreats under the so called Crypto President Trump administration, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Ripple.

‘Insulting and appalling’: Keir Starmer seeks Donald Trump’s apology over NATO troops comment. In return, this is how Trump replied and praised UK forces without mentioning ‘NATO’ word - “The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America! In Afghanistan, 457 died, many were badly injured, and they were among the greatest of all warriors. It’s a bond too strong to ever be broken. The U.K. Military, with tremendous Heart and Soul, is second to none (except for the U.S.A.!).”
At the height of the conflict between 2010 and 2012, more than 130,000 international troops were on the ground in Afghanistan.
However, this is how US President praised selectively despite so many countries fought along side US military despite knowing that it was US led war which they picked as their own interests.

Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariff and calls PM of Canada as Governor. Even issues warning that China will eat Canada alive. Just few days ago when TikTok deal was finalized, he thanked Chinese President. One day he thanks as friend and other day he calls them devil.
“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a “Drop Off Port” for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life. If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.”
Trump had further commented while in Davos, this week that “Canada lives because of the United States.” Mr. Carney shot back that his nation can be an example that the world does not have to bend toward autocratic tendencies.
Mr. Trump later revoked his invitation to Mr. Carney to join the president's “Board of Peace” that he is forming to try to resolve global conflicts.
Entire geopolitics looks like some school or college politics since Jan 2025.

Gold, $XAU breaks $5,000 barrier for the first time in history. 24 hours ATH - $5,009.38

Bitcoin undervalued and Gold - $XAU overvalued.

In a recent cyber attack, hackers have targeted French crypto company Waltio, demanding a ransom after stealing customer emails and tax reports of 50,000 customers.
Waltio, a platform that lets customers calculate and report their digital asset capital gains. French authorities are now investigating the issue.

Blackrock CEO Larry Fink says Bitcoin could replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency because of massive America’s rising national debt.
The U.S. has benefited from the dollar serving as the world’s reserve currency for decades. But that’s not guaranteed to last forever.
“The national debt has grown at three times the pace of GDP since Times Square’s debt clock started ticking in 1989. This year, interest payments will surpass $952 billion exceeding defense spending. By 2030, mandatory government spending and debt service will consume all federal revenue, creating a permanent deficit.”
“If the U.S. doesn’t get its debt under control, if deficits keep ballooning, America risks losing that position to digital assets like Bitcoin.”

Trump’s Board of Peace Paradox - At least 11 'Board of Peace' countries on US visa pause list. 🤐
Further, all these countries paid $1 Billion to get the chair at the table. So seat at the table but no foot on the US soil.
Reason for Visa restrictions - Risks associated with public benefit usage, economic burden as they can’t sustain without Govt. Financial assistance and national security.
On one hand, the Trump and his administration has championed the “Board of Peace”, a high-profile coalition of nations tasked with mediating global conflicts, most notably the war in Gaza. On the other, a sweeping executive mandate has placed at least 11 of these essential partners on a visa suspension list.

Trump says Canada is against Golden Dome in Greenland. But why on earth Trump wants Greenland to replicate Iron Dome like Israel?
Carney travelled to Beijing last week to reignite economic ties with China which is Canada’s second largest trading partner after the U.S. He left with a deal reducing tariffs on some Canadian agricultural goods and a quota allowing Chinese EVs to enter the domestic market of Canada. Certainly american EV indistries aren’t happy about it.
Anyone who chooses to trade with Russia or China inevitably ends up on Trump’s radar. Instead of confronting Russia or China directly, Trump ridicules and mocks their trading partners publicly while simultaneously praises Putin and Jinping as “great friends” and “strong leaders.”
“Canada is against The Golden Dome being built over Greenland, even though The Golden Dome would protect Canada. Instead, they voted in favor of doing business with China, who will ‘eat them up’ within the first year!” - $TRUMP

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao reflects on prison, Trump and potential bitcoin supercycle after pardon.

President Trump lifted a "psychological burden" that had lingered even after he completed a four-month prison sentence tied to violations of the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act.
"I was a free man before, but with a felon status. Now I’m a real free man. No one in U.S. history had ever gone to jail for a single registration failure under the Bank Secrecy Act.” - Zhao said, adding that he believed home confinement was the most severe likely outcome.

Pardon process and Trump ties - Zhao said he did not initially seek a pardon after his release and only asked lawyers to submit a petition months later.
He described the entire pardon process as a "black box" and denied any direct lobbying or personal outreach to Trump or his family. Zhao said he has never spoken with Trump and only saw him from the audience at a Davos event this week.
"There's really no connection, if I accept a stablecoin as payment, that doesn’t mean I invested in the issuer” - This is with reference to WLFI and $USD1

FTX and market outlook - Zhao said Binance briefly explored a potential acquisition of FTX in 2022 but walked away after losing confidence in the accuracy of the company’s financial disclosures.
“With the U.S. being so pro-crypto now and other countries following, I think we could break the four-year cycle.”
Asked about what he could do different - block U.S. users from Binance "from day one."
"At the beginning, we were a small tech startup. If I had known what I know now, I would have just blocked U.S. users and avoided a lot of trouble."

Trump claim on NATO role in Afghanistan draws UK condemnation. To counter anti-NATO remark’s, UK politicians have accused Trump of avoiding military service during the Vietnam War.
Trump said the US had “never needed” NATO and claimed allied forces remained “a little off the front lines” during the Afghanistan conflict.

Stephen Kinnock, a junior British minister, described Trump’s remarks as “deeply disappointing” and said European forces had paid a heavy price while backing US-led operations.
“Many, many British soldiers and many soldiers from other European NATO allies gave their lives in support of American-led missions in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. I think anybody who seeks to criticise what our armed forces have done and the sacrifices that they make is plainly wrong.
US remains the only NATO member to have invoked Article 5, the alliance’s collective-defence clause, following the September 11, 2001 attacks, prompting allies to rally behind US armed forces.

Other UK politicians even highlighted Trump’s history of avoiding military service during the Vietnam War. Trump received multiple draft deferments, including one based on a diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels, a medical claim that has previously been questioned.
“Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice.” - Ed Davey
The United Kingdom lost 457 service personnel in Afghanistan. More than 150 Canadian soldiers were killed, along with 90 French soldiers. Denmark lost 44 soldiers - one of the highest per-capita death rates among NATO members, despite the country recently facing continued pressure from Trump to sell its semi-autonomous territory of Greenland to the US.

US President wants explaination for Global Warming “Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???”
This latest post has the potential to affect the energy market. That’s because Trump’s post highlighting an extreme cold wave could briefly boost sentiment for traditional energy producers and broad energy funds on expectations of higher heating demand and fossil‑fuel friendly political narratives.
Trump has continued to question the science behind entire global warming, telling the UN in September 2025 that it was the "greatest con job". He has suggested that climate change is a fabricated issue, rather than a result of human activity.
He even promoted the use of fossil fuels, specifically referring to "clean, beautiful coal," and has characterized renewable energy sources like wind power as a "joke" and "pathetic".

India diversifies reserves, boosting gold and reducing reliance on US debt.
As gold, $XAU and other alternatives take a larger share of India’s reserves, the shift mirrors moves by bigger holders like China, reviving questions about US exceptionalism and the role of its debt as a reserve asset.
