PANews reported on April 11, according to Wall Street News, the Federal Reserve released the minutes of the March monetary policy meeting showed that the Fed officials at the meeting generally believed that the recent data did not enhance their confidence in the inflation to the target, and inflation fell along the generally expected uneven path; participants mentioned that geopolitical risks may push up inflation, and the U.S. commercial real estate market may bring economic downside risks; the vast majority of participants believe that "soon" It is prudent to start slowing the balance sheet reduction, and the participants believe that the slowdown does not mean that the final balance sheet reduction will be reduced and will not affect the monetary policy stance, and that the monthly balance sheet reduction will be about halved, the MBS reduction ceiling will remain unchanged, and the US Treasury reduction ceiling will be lowered. According to the New Fed News Agency, the Fed is ready to slow its balance sheet reduction "soon", and the monthly tapering of US Treasuries may be lower. In addition, according to Jiemian News, U.S. President Joe Biden said at a press conference jointly held by the White House and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at the White House on April 10 local time that he adheres to the prediction of interest rate cuts, which may be postponed for a month, and there will be one before the end of the year.

The minutes of the Federal Reserve meeting showed that almost all participants believed that a rate cut this year is appropriate; the Fed is inclined to reduce the monthly asset reduction by about half; the Fed is inclined to adjust the limit on reducing Treasury holdings rather than MBS to slow down the balance sheet shrinking.

Odaily Venture capitalist Jason Calacanis posted on the X platform: "If I were president of the United States, the first action would be to build 10 new cities in the United States, each with 1 million homes. These fully planned cities will have excellent affordability, walkability, sustainability, and exceptional amenities that will bring joy to children, seniors, and the working class. If Saudi Crown Prince MBS can do that in Saudi Arabia, we can do it in the United States too. We just need to be determined. ” In response, Mark Cuban said that he had previously bought the Texas town of Mustang. Jason Calacanis responded, "Great, I'll send you a proposal for New American City." We will provide $250,000 per home, starting with the construction of 100,000 homes, and when you achieve great success, the other 900,000 houses will be unlocked (construction mission). ”
 "So what you mean is that you're going to write a smart contract on ZK L2 that will check if a construction permit has been issued and create an NFT accordingly and send it to me, and when the oracle checks the property and utility records and determines that the home has been completed, it will unlock and deliver 250,000 USDC to me? We will use a multisig wallet to protect the interests of both parties. Is it a deal?" Jason Calacanis responded: "I'm just going to send you the money and trust you to execute." ”

PANews News on October 12, according to CoinDesk, former CEO of Alameda Research, Caroline Ellison, testified that SBF instructed her to use FTX clients' funds to repay Alameda Research's lenders. Despite her misgivings, she did as he asked. Ellison said she has been concerned since spring 2022 that Alameda's reliance on FTX client funds could spell disaster for both companies. She was relieved when SBF's crypto empire began to crumble, because it meant she could stop lying. Meanwhile, SBF had tried to finance FTX through an investment from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). SBF said MBS was previously a potential investor in the exchange. Ellison also mentioned that SBF had hoped to buy Snapchat's parent company. In addition, Caroline Ellison said she and several FTX and Alameda executives "paid large bribes to Chinese officials" to unlock funds frozen on Chinese exchanges. After the FTX/Alameda team initially failed to negotiate with the Chinese government through lawyers to unlock the funds, they then tried to release the funds through a scheme involving the creation of fake foreign exchange accounts using the identity of "Thai prostitutes", but failed again. Eventually, those funds were secured after Ellison paid out $100 million to a crypto account. She understands that the account is somehow linked to Chinese government officials.
