According to a Reuters report on February 14th, two Democratic senators on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim, sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent requesting a review of a transaction involving a UAE entity acquiring a stake in a Trump family cryptocurrency company. The report states that a company affiliated with the UAE's national security advisor purchased a 49% stake in WorldLiberty Financial for $500 million, and the two senators are requesting an investigation into whether the transaction poses national security risks. Warren and Kim are asking Bessent, head of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), to determine whether a CFIUS review of the UAE's acquisition of the 49% stake in WorldLiberty Financial is necessary, and if so, a full, thorough, and impartial investigation. They are requesting Bessent respond to several questions by March 5th, including whether CFIUS has reviewed the transaction in any form or made any recommendations to President Trump. The two senators pointed out that the transaction raises significant national security concerns regarding whether the UAE and other countries could gain access to "sensitive personal information" collected by WorldLiberty Financial.

Huoxun Finance reported on February 14th that, according to Reuters, Missouri investor Andrew Barr filed a class-action lawsuit in Washington federal court, accusing longtime Trump allies Steve Bannon, Boris Epshteyn, and Bannon's media companies "WarRoom," Let'sGoBrandonCoin LLC, and PatriotPay LLC of defrauding thousands of investors by selling unregistered cryptocurrencies. The lawsuit alleges that Bannon and Epshteyn used their public platforms and political influence to promote a token initially named "Let'sGoBrandonCoin" ($FJB), later renamed "PatriotPay" ($PPY), inducing investors to purchase "unregistered and highly speculative assets." The plaintiff claims personal losses exceeding $58,000, accusing the defendants of concealing token risks and governance issues, violating securities and consumer protection laws. The complaint states that the defendants completely suspended trading in early 2025, announced the project's closure, and promised to distribute remaining liquidity, but this distribution has not yet occurred. The plaintiff seeks to represent thousands of retail investors nationwide in pursuing damages.

According to a report by Blockworks researcher Kunal Doshi on the X platform, Polymarket's newly launched 5-minute BTC market generated $25.2 million in trading volume within 40 hours of its launch. The average trading volume per window was approximately $52,000, reaching 10% to 20% of the 15-minute market's trading volume. Data shows that 7.1% of individual addresses simultaneously bought both Yes and No orders within a single window, while only 4.2% of addresses did so across more than 50 windows. Although these addresses were fewer in number, they accounted for 7.5% of the total trading volume and 23.4% of the total number of transactions. Of these, 92.6% of the orders were buy orders, and 72.3% were pending orders that were filled. These addresses profited in 80% of the windows, with a median Yes + No price of $0.9823. Currently, the market exhibits early arbitrage activity; if structured liquidity is introduced, the 5-minute market's trading volume is expected to surpass that of the 15-minute market.
