The U.S. government’s bitcoin holdings are now in the spotlight after President Donald Trump announced the building of a strategic crypto reserve, containing BTC, ETH, and other digital assets. Read more: Trump’s Bombshell: XRP, SOL, and ADA Enter the US Crypto Reserve Mix While the U.S. allegedly holds nearly $200K bitcoin, crypto insiders are calling for a public audit of these funds, given their relevance for the upcoming policies of the Trump administration. David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc., has criticized how the U.S. government has carried the ownership of this large bitcoin stash. “It’s alarming that nobody seems to know exactly how many Bitcoin the USA owns, nor who specially holds the keys to roughly 200,000 Bitcoin,” he stressed, highlighting the importance of establishing a “sovereign-quality digital assets vault with proof of reserves.” Bailey raised the possibility of a covert sale of these assets under the previous administration. According to an unnamed CEO of a large custody provider, carrying out a sale operation of 100K BTC would be trivial, using the bitcoin owned by other customers to throw off suspicion. Timechainindex’s Sani added that one of the only custody providers able to pull this off would be Coinbase. The exchange had moved 8,000 BTC several times a couple of months ago, totaling more than 100K BTC. “I will pay $10,000 to the first journalist who can get U.S. Marshals to confirm the quantity of Bitcoin and Crypto they’re currently holding,” Bailey proposed. According to Arkham Intelligence, the U.S. government holds nearly 198K BTC, that have been seized as part of enforcement actions. Record indicated that 69,369 BTC were seized from Silkroad in November 2020, 94,643 BTC recovered from Bitfinex hackers in January 2022, and 51,326 BTC seized from James Zhong, also linked to Silk Road.

The crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) market commenced the week with continued outflows, as bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows totaling $74.19 million on Monday, Mar. 3. This development underscores the persistent trend of capital retreat from bitcoin-focused funds with just one day of inflows over the past 2 weeks. Among the bitcoin ETFs, Blackrock’s IBIT led the outflows, shedding $77.97 million. Grayscale’s GBTC also reported a significant outflow of $54.39 million. In contrast, Ark 21Shares’ ARKB provided a positive note with an inflow of $58.18 million, signaling selective investor confidence. Ether ETFs mirrored this trend, marking their eighth consecutive day of outflows with a net withdrawal of $12.10 million. Blackrock’s ETHA was the primary contributor to this decline, recording an outflow of $16.06 million. Conversely, Bitwise’s ETHW attracted an inflow of $3.96 million, offering a glimmer of optimism for ether ETFs. By the close of trading on Mar. 3, total net assets stood at $97.26 billion for bitcoin ETFs and $7.72 billion for ether ETFs, reflecting the ongoing outflow trend. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

British businessman and economist Neil Record has described the United Kingdom’s digital pound initiative as an “ill-fated venture” due to a lack of customer demand. Record argues that the digital pound, in its current form, is not appealing to customers in the U.K. because many of its touted benefits are already provided by regular bank accounts. In a recent op-ed, the economist asserts that the Bank of England (BOE) initially felt the need to create the digital pound because it was spooked by the dramatic decline in cash use. From accounting for 51% of all payments made in 2013, the proportion of cash payments had dropped to 12% by 2023. According to Record, the BOE feels threatened by this decline, as it could lead to a reduction in cash holdings. In a world where cash is rarely used, the economic model on which central banks like the BOE are predicated would be damaged. In the BOE’s case, its existence as an “independent” central bank would be challenged, he said. However, Record believes the digital pound initiative is likely to fail because customers may not want the government scrutinizing their finances. “There are other reasons why customers might not choose to use the digital pound. Most people regard the Bank of England as part of the government. They might be suspicious that the Bank would not be able to protect their privacy, and hence that the government would, in theory, be able to discover their intimate financial affairs,” Record said. The economist also highlighted the BOE’s confirmation that the digital pound would not be based on blockchain technology as another reason why customers would avoid it. After spending $30.5 million on the project, Record hopes the BOE, which he said has not had a good decade, will abandon the initiative and “return to its core remit of inflation control and sensible financial regulation.” 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

The Moroccan Foreign Exchange Office has reportedly launched an investigation into residents suspected of buying properties abroad using cryptocurrencies. Officials are also interested in understanding the role of global real estate companies that employ Moroccan intermediaries in property marketing. According to a local report, the probe is examining purchases of high-value real estate by Moroccans holding residency permits in other countries. These transactions are said to be facilitated by unnamed cryptocurrency exchange platforms that provide anonymity and privacy protection. Under the country’s laws, residents seeking to buy real estate abroad must first obtain approval from the Foreign Exchange Office. However, officials believe residents are resorting to crypto to bypass this requirement, as they are aware of regulators’ inability to track such transactions. Reports that Moroccan authorities are targeting residents using crypto to buy properties come just a few months after the country’s central bank signaled a change in its approach toward digital assets. As reported by Bitcoin.com News, the central bank has expressed a desire to engage all relevant parties as it works to create a regulatory framework that protects consumers without stifling innovation. Meanwhile, the local report states that investigators are also looking into aggressive social media campaigns targeting Moroccan investors with discounted foreign real estate deals and marketing tours. These campaigns, promoting million-dollar properties, have raised concerns about the origin of the funds and how the transactions are being conducted. The Foreign Exchange Office is now said to be strengthening its oversight to protect the financial system from illegal activities related to cryptocurrency and unregulated capital transfers. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
