Odaily Planet Daily reports that U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Comptroller Jonathan Gould engaged in a heated debate at a Senate Banking Committee hearing regarding World Liberty Financial's (WLFI) application for a national trust banking license. Warren called the application "the most despicable" presidential corruption scandal, pointing to an investment firm linked to UAE National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan investing $500 million in WLFI four days before Trump's inauguration, acquiring a 49% stake, with approximately $187 million flowing to Trump family entities. Warren urged Gould to reject or suspend the review of the application, stating that approval would make it "an accomplice to corruption." Gould refused to intervene, stating that he would process the application according to standard procedures and countered that the only political pressure he felt came from Warren. Forty-one House Democrats had previously written to the Treasury Secretary, warning that approving the license could threaten "the legitimacy of the U.S. banking system and its independence from foreign actors."

According to a post on the X platform by Santiment, Bitcoin is nearing a milestone, with the number of wallets holding at least 100 BTC exceeding 20,000. These wallets, currently valued at at least $6.78 million, are primarily owned by high-net-worth individuals, funds, long-term holders, or institutions. An increase in this number during or after a price decline can be seen as a bullish signal. However, the overall supply ratio of key holders has not increased significantly so far, keeping prices low. The increase in the number of wallets holding 100 or more BTC indicates that holdings are distributed among more large holders, rather than being monopolized by a few. This shows a decrease in the concentration of top-level holdings. At the same time, however, wealth is concentrating in larger, more powerful holders compared to smaller retail wallets. Therefore, this is not a minimal sign of decentralization, but rather indicates that more independent entities have reached "whale" status. Historically, increases in the number of whale wallets have often occurred during accumulation phases, subsequently supporting price recovery. The growth in the number of wallets needs to match the growth in the overall supply, with retail investors gradually selling their tokens to larger holders. History shows that this phase often occurs when retail traders panic sell or take profits too early.
