According to CoinMeta, on March 2nd, Trump Media & Technology Group stated that it is considering spinning off its flagship social media platform, Truth Social, into a publicly traded company, a move that could allow it to prioritize its cryptocurrency ambitions. The company said on Friday that it is in discussions with energy fusion startup TAE Technologies and Texas Ventures Acquisition III, the latter of which would control the Truth social media platform. These discussions build on the merger agreement reached between Trump Media and TAE Technologies last December, a deal valued at over $6 billion. Following the merger, Truth Social could be spun off into a new publicly traded company called SpinCo, which would then merge with Texas Ventures III. SpinCo shares would also be allocated to Trump Media shareholders.

According to a report by Hong Kong media outlet Hong Kong 01, Joseph Yam, a member of the Hong Kong Executive Council and former Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, stated that geopolitical developments have increased the importance of the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar, and bluntly stated that "the Hong Kong dollar is actually the largest stablecoin for the US dollar." Yam pointed out that by 2025, Hong Kong will hold approximately US$256 billion in US Treasury bonds, a larger amount than any so-called US dollar stablecoin currently in existence. Therefore, Hong Kong's financial direction is clear: to maintain the linked exchange rate system. Hong Kong is the most active US dollar market in Asia, and it would be unwise to force a major buyer to sell off its holdings if the Hong Kong dollar were not allowed to continue being pegged to the US dollar.

The opening price was $64,534, the liquidation price was $70,730, and the current unrealized loss is $1.187 million. He placed a limit sell order at $55,000, meaning he would take profit if BTC fell another $11,000.

According to a report by the South China Morning Post citing Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan, Hong Kong has no plans to withdraw funds from the Exchange Fund again within the next five years.

This proposed withdrawal would be the first since 1984. Chan stated that there would be no such measure in the medium-term forecast, and he did not intend to make the withdrawal "a routine practice." It is understood that the main role of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund is to support the Hong Kong dollar's exchange rate against the US dollar within a trading range of 7.75 to 7.85, thereby maintaining financial stability and investor confidence.
