According to Huoxun Finance on February 13, 23pds, Chief Information Security Officer of SlowMist, warned on the X platform that a fake recruitment campaign called "graphalgo" is using a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) to attack cryptocurrency developers.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Matrixport, in an article published on the X platform, stated: "The recent drop in Bitcoin's price below the key level we highlighted in our October 31, 2025 report has confirmed the downward trend. The current pullback's magnitude and pace are quite similar to historical downward phases. For investors, the focus has shifted from 'whether the trend has reversed' to 'when the next more worthwhile investment window will arrive.' Around the period from the end of 2024 to October 2025, Bitcoin repeatedly exhibited characteristics of the near end of its fifth bull market, indicating a gradual weakening of bullish momentum. With the price breaking below the aforementioned key level, this assessment has been confirmed, and the market has entered a confirmed bear market phase."

Huoxun Finance reported on February 13th that in response to a post by @ThinkingUSD claiming that "Binance is the most profitable trading entity on BitMEX," Binance founder Changpeng Zhao responded: "Fake news. They are completely fabricating this. I don't know what their purpose is. Binance has never traded on BitMEX. It is understood that BitMEX only processes one withdrawal per day."

According to a report by the Financial Times cited by Jinshi Finance on February 13th, Trump plans to reduce tariffs on some steel and aluminum products as he faces an "affordability crisis" that has weakened his approval ratings ahead of the November midterm elections. Last summer, the US president imposed tariffs of up to 50% on steel and aluminum products and expanded these tariffs to include various metal products, including washing machines and ovens. However, according to three sources familiar with the matter, the Trump administration is reviewing the list of products affected by the tariffs and plans to exempt some goods, halt the expansion of the tariff list, and instead launch more targeted national security investigations on specific products. The sources said that trade officials at the US Department of Commerce and the Office of the US Trade Representative believe that these tariffs are harming consumers by increasing the prices of goods such as pie platters, food cans, and beverage cans. The sources also said that countries including the UK, Mexico, Canada, and EU member states may benefit from the easing of US tariffs on steel and aluminum products.
