NYT: Musk's team gained access to the US payment system to control spending
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen granted access to several representatives of the Department of Efficiency in Government (DOGE), led by entrepreneur Elon Musk, to the federal payment system to monitor and limit government spending. This was reported by The New York Times (NYT) citing sources.♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️
According to NYT, in 2023, this system processed information on payments totaling more than $5 trillion.
"This system could provide the [US President Donald] Trump's administration with another mechanism to attempt to unilaterally limit the expenditure of funds approved by Congress for specific purposes," the article states.
The publication notes that it is still unclear whether Musk's team has blocked any payments after gaining access to the system.
On Friday, January 31, Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon stated that Musk's access to the system could lead to a conflict of interest. "These payment systems process over a billion payments a year."
President of Belarus Alexander🤔😲😳 Lukashenko announced the beginning of the development of a national cryptocurrency. He made this statement at a press conference on January 26, 2025. According to Lukashenko, the country is at the initial stage of creating a digital asset but plans to act quickly. Tasks have already been set for specialists and the government. The president noted that the idea of creating a national cryptocurrency arose in response to requests from the IT sector. He emphasized that Belarus has surplus energy capacities that can be used for mining.
Earlier, in September 2024, Lukashenko signed decree No. 367 "On the circulation of digital signs (tokens)", which strengthened control over cryptocurrency operations. According to this decree, individuals in Belarus can buy and sell digital assets only through national cryptocurrency exchanges and exchangers that are residents of the High Technologies Park.
Thus, Belarus is taking confident steps towards integrating digital assets into its economy, striving to take a worthy place in the global cryptocurrency space.

Elliott hedge fund predicts 'chaos' in crypto market due to Trump's policies ✨✨✨✨🤯🤯🤯✨✨✨✨🗾 The new US administration's support for cryptocurrencies is fueling a crypto bubble, according to Elliott Management
The Donald Trump administration's support for cryptocurrencies is fueling a speculative mania that could lead to a price crash and "chaos," hedge fund Elliott said in a letter to investors. The company noted that it has never seen a market so consumed by "speculative investor frenzy."
"The inevitable collapse of the cryptocurrency bubble could have catastrophic consequences that we cannot yet foresee," the Financial Times cites the report as saying.
Elliott Management, a hedge fund founded in 1977 with nearly $70 billion in assets under management, criticized the U.S. government's enthusiasm for assets that have skyrocketed in price but "have no value" and politicians who support cryptocurrencies that could become competitors to the U.S. dollar in a letter to investors.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 The internet has started accepting Trump cryptocurrency for payment
MOSCOW, News. A number of online trading platforms have begun accepting the meme coin created by U.S. President Donald Trump for payment, reports Bloomberg agency.

Large companies are buying bitcoin - is the market expecting a new takeoff? ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Happycoin.club - Last Monday, January 27, representatives of MicroStrategy said that they plan to increase their bitcoin reserves several times. In total, the organization wants to attract about $42 billion to purchase the flagship token. This idea was supported by both Michael Saylor himself (the founder of MicroStrategy) and 56% of other shareholders.
The management of the investment company Metaplanet, which last fall already managed to purchase more than 1,000 BTC, came to a similar decision. Its new goal is to increase savings to 10,000 bitcoins during the new 2025.
According to experts, serious interest in the coin from major players can trigger a serious growth of BTC and rapid development of other, smaller tokens. Among them, for example, is Meme Index ($MEMEX), a new coin that raised over $3.4 million during the pre-sale and offers an unconventional approach to investing in meme cryptocurrencies.

Companies have reported an increase in demand from Russians for crypto boilers against the backdrop of rising Bitcoin prices. Industry representatives shared this with “Ъ FM”.

The fall of the Bitcoin price below $100,000 on January 27 led to a reassessment of trading risks associated with macroeconomic, political and technological factors. According to analysts from QCP Capital, quoted by The Block, the financial reports of American technology companies may lead to additional volatility in the cryptocurrency market. Experts attribute this to investors' sensitivity to the artificial intelligence sector due to events around the Chinese startup DeepSeek.
