ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, as Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate below the $100,000 mark, several important events this week may bring volatility to the cryptocurrency market. FTX will initiate the first round of creditor payouts this week, targeting convenience creditors with claims not exceeding $50,000, who will receive full principal and 9% annual interest compensation. 10x Research founder Markus Thielen stated that the total payout for this round is approximately $1.2 billion, which is relatively limited in scale.Mena Theodorou, co-founder of the crypto trading platform Coinstash, expects that some of the payout funds will flow into the Solana ecosystem. He stated, "Considering FTX's previous significant investments in SOL and the Solana ecosystem, along with SOL's over 500% increase in the past year and the continuously growing on-chain activity and developer numbers, these funds are likely to flow back into the network."Other important events that the market is paying attention to include:Trump will have a conversation with Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Fox News on February 19, expected to involve topics such as cryptocurrency policy and regulation;The Federal Reserve will release the minutes from the January meeting on February 20, with the market focusing on inflation data and interest rate policy direction;The Consensus Hong Kong conference will open on Tuesday, expected to attract thousands of participants from over 90 countries.

ChainCatcher news, former Goldman Sachs analyst and co-founder of the blockchain education center The Coin Bureau, Nic Puckrin, stated in an article for Fortune magazine that Musk's hope for the U.S. Treasury to adopt blockchain could pose national security risks.He pointed out that while the infinite financial opportunities provided by blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency sector not only help to increase personal wealth but also enhance the efficiency and transparency of nation-states, the U.S. Treasury's involvement in blockchain could expose many sensitive financial information (such as defense spending or foreign exchange operations) to hacking risks. Even though these security issues could be addressed by using encrypted data and privacy-protecting blockchains, it seems that there is currently no blockchain capable of handling over $50 trillion in U.S. Treasury assets.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, U.S. Senator Rand Paul called yesterday for an audit of the Fort Knox gold reserves led by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to verify whether it actually holds 147.3 million ounces (4,600 tons) of gold from the U.S. Treasury, sparking a debate about the transparency of Bitcoin compared to traditional assets and financial trust.The Fort Knox gold has not been audited for 50 years since 1974, primarily because the U.S. government has refused external audits on the grounds of national security, while its gold reserves are seen as a symbol of national credit, and public audits could trigger market volatility and a crisis of trust. Bitcoin supporters, including Senator Cynthia Lummis, stated: "Bitcoin solves this problem. Bitcoin reserves can be audited at any time through basic computers, year-round." Unlike physical gold, which requires external audits, Bitcoin allows anyone to verify ownership, supply, and transactions through the blockchain.Riot's research director Pierre Rochard said: "Gold requires trust in the auditor, while Bitcoin allows anyone to be an auditor." Bitcoin cannot be forged, whereas gold can. Although the U.S. has the largest gold reserves in the world, incidents of fake gold bars have occurred in recent years. In 2019, the CEO of Swiss refinery Valcambi admitted that counterfeiting technology has become increasingly sophisticated, suggesting that thousands of fake gold bars may go undetected. In contrast, Bitcoin cannot be forged, with a fixed total supply of 21 million coins, and its smallest unit, "satoshi," can be tracked on-chain. Bitcoin advocate Max Kaiser wrote in 2018: "Bitcoin is the most perfect hard currency humanity has ever known. Holding Bitcoin is a declaration of liberation from tyranny and government intervention, achieving individual sovereignty."
