- 15:58ZachXBT: Some of the 127,000 BTC controlled by the US government may originate from addresses with private key vulnerabilitiesChainCatcher news, on-chain detective ZachXBT posted on X, pointing out that the wallet addresses corresponding to approximately 127,000 bitcoins (about $14 billion) announced to be confiscated by the US government had already been identified as having private key vulnerability risks in a security research report (Milky Sad Report) two years ago. ZachXBT stated that these addresses are now claimed by the US government to be "taken over and under its custody," raising concerns about how they were obtained. When a user asked whether the funds had been transferred to a more secure wallet, ZachXBT replied: "Unlikely, it seems more like someone 'hacked' them back for the US government." This comment suggests that the related BTC may not have been acquired through conventional judicial means.

Therefore, the Fed should fully shift its focus to supporting the weakening economy. He stated that energy prices are declining, which will lead to lower gasoline costs and help curb inflation expectations. In addition, slack in the labor market has increased, and rental housing inflation is also slowing down. "In short, inflation is no longer an issue. Policymakers should make it clear that maintaining economic growth should be the top priority at present."
