Experts see positives in the $1 trillion drop in Bitcoin's market capitalization.
Despite the fact that Bitcoin's market capitalization has shrunk by a staggering $1 trillion, bringing the price down to $63,000, analysts at Bloomberg and Investing.com see this "institutional crash" as having hidden positives. The 50% drop from the October peak ($126,000) is being called a necessary "flush" that cleared the market of excessive leverage and random speculators.
The economy of the Russian Federation is facing the threat of a large-scale revision of macroeconomic indicators. Against the backdrop of an oil surplus in the global market and falling prices, the government is preparing for a sharp reduction in the GDP growth forecast for 2026.
The main reason is the mismatch between real oil prices and those laid out in the budget. Currently, the price of Brent is hovering around $60, while Urals, taking into account discounts and sanctions pressure, is trading significantly lower. In January 2026, Russia's revenues from energy exports have already halved compared to last year, and the budget deficit in just one month reached nearly half of the annual plan.
Analysts warn: if the price of Brent tests the level of $50–55, the growth rate of Russia's GDP may not only slow down but also go into the "negative." Military injections can no longer artificially support an economy that is facing a critical drop in foreign currency earnings and logistical difficulties due to a collapse in maritime exports and problems with the Druzhba oil pipeline.

The head of OpenAI called the water consumption issue of AI a fake.
Sam Altman, the head of OpenAI, recently commented on the issue of significant water consumption by artificial intelligence systems, calling these concerns "fake" or greatly exaggerated. He emphasized that while data centers do require water for cooling, the scale of its use and its environmental impact are often misinterpreted. According to Altman, much larger volumes of water are consumed by traditional industries, and the tech sector, particularly AI, is working on optimizing and implementing more efficient cooling systems.
Gold prices are showing steady growth.🚩
Gold prices are showing steady growth, fueled by the weakening of the US dollar and news about potential negotiations between the USA and Iran.
The weakening of the dollar makes gold more attractive for investors holding other currencies, as it lowers the cost of purchasing the metal. At the same time, the revival of negotiations between Washington and Tehran, even at the initial stages, is perceived by the market as a factor of de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East.

Due to the stoppage of the southern branch of the Druzhba oil pipeline, which has been ongoing since the end of January 2026, the Russian Federation is forced to reorient its flows.
Statistics indicate a significant increase in sea exports: in the first half of February alone, daily shipments from ports increased by 480 thousand barrels, reaching a rate of 3.39 million barrels per day.
This growth directly compensates for the loss of transit through Ukraine to Hungary and Slovakia.
The main volume is currently directed to the ports of Novorossiysk and Tuapse, from where oil is picked up by tankers of the 'shadow fleet' for delivery to Asia. However, such logistics are more expensive due to the increased transportation distance and the need to provide deeper discounts to new buyers.
The situation is exacerbated by recent attacks on pumping stations in the Russian Federation, which forced Transneft to reduce oil intake into the system by 250 thousand barrels per day.

The European Union has urged Ukraine to accelerate the repair of the key oil pipeline 'Druzhba'🔴
The European Union has urged Ukraine to accelerate the repair of the key oil pipeline 'Druzhba', which is a vital route for the supply of Russian oil to landlocked Central European countries.

Natural gas prices in the USA have recorded a sharp decline.📉
Natural gas prices in the USA have recorded a sharp decline, reaching their lowest levels in the past five months. The main factors behind this trend were an unusually warm winter and record-high production volumes, which led to an oversupply in underground storage. In addition to weather conditions, the market is pressured by a decrease in demand from industrial consumers and delays at some liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals.
Bitcoin has shown a sharp decline, dropping below the psychological mark of $63,000. 📉
This drop represents a loss of 50% of its value from peak levels recorded in October. Analysts attribute the primary cause of the sell-off to the mass exit of hedge funds from risky assets and increasing macroeconomic pressure.
The market capitalization of the first cryptocurrency has significantly shrunk, which has triggered a wave of liquidations on futures exchanges.
Investors are wary of further correction if the price does not hold in the current range. While institutional capital seeks stability in fiat currencies, retail traders weigh the risks between "buying the dip" and expecting a full capitulation spill.
The market has entered a phase of high volatility and uncertainty.

Hedge funds are actively reducing their positions in bitcoins, signaling a change in sentiment in the market.

Police arbitrariness in Gangnam: Where do confiscated bitcoins disappear? 👮♂️
The scandal in South Korea is gaining momentum. As reported by ForkLog, 22 $BTC have disappeared without a trace from the 'cold' wallet at the Gangnam police station, which were material evidence from 2021.

Militarization of AI: Is Claude from Anthropic now working for the U.S. Army? 🪖
Here’s a news story you won’t see in sweet crypto-publications. According to ForkLog, the AI tool Claude was involved in the U.S. operation to capture Maduro in Venezuela. What does this mean for us? It means that AI tokens are not just about generating images or code; they are about real power and military technologies.
Harvard Games: Why the elite is dumping Bitcoin and buying Ethereum? 🎓
While retail panics over the downpours, the Harvard University fund quietly executed a sophisticated scheme. As reported by ForkLog, they reduced their stake in the Bitcoin ETF by 20% and for the first time invested in Ethereum products. This is a clear signal: "smart money" considers ETH to be an undervalued asset that is time to collect.
Quantum Apocalypse: Why Willy Wu Predicts the Drain of 4 Million BTC? ☢️
While you are drawing triangles on the graphs, analyst Willy Wu throws in a bomb: the threat of quantum computing is no longer science fiction, but a real factor that kills the appeal of Bitcoin. According to ForkLog, about 4 million BTC are at risk of being hacked, which are sitting idle. If developers do not implement quantum protection 'yesterday', the first cryptocurrency risks turning into a museum exhibit, yielding to gold.
Bhutan is selling, Trump is buying: Who will win in the stablecoin chess? 🇧🇹
The Kingdom of Bhutan continues its sale — another 100 BTC have flown to exchanges, marking the third week in a row. ForkLog notes that state reserves are dwindling. Why? Perhaps they know something about the upcoming volatility that Investing.com is silent about.
Meanwhile, the Trump family's WLFI project announces its own currency exchange platform.
On Binance Square, this is referred to as a "political pump," but in reality, it is the creation of a parallel financial reality. While Tether invests in applications for Hyperliquid, the stablecoin market is becoming a battleground for anonymity. Changpeng Zhao (@CZ ) stated outright: without the privatization of transactions, mass adoption will not happen. Are you ready for your "transparent" wallet to become your own prison? Choose assets that protect your data, not just numbers on a screen.
