Feb 14 — The U.S. Supreme Court has set Feb 20 as its next opinion release date, with the world awaiting a ruling that could largely invalidate former President Trump’s signature tariff policy, foreign media reports. Justices are also expected to issue opinions on Feb 24 and 25. The tariff dispute is among 12 cases argued in October or November that remain undecided. U.S. federal government data shows the controversial tariffs cost importers more than $16 billion monthly. Economic analyst Chris Kennedy estimates that by Feb 20, total duties collected under the case’s core law — the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act — could exceed $170 billion.

On February 14th, during regular trading hours, U.S.-listed cryptocurrency-related stocks extended gains. Notable movers included: - MSTR: +7.62% - COIN: +15.91% - CRCL: +5.32% - SBET: +5.12% - BMNR: +6.99% - HOOD: +6.69% This version uses common U.S. financial media phrasing: "regular trading hours" (standard for market sessions), "extended gains" (more natural than "saw expanded gains"), and "notable movers" (a typical term for standout stocks). The bullet-point format with clear ticker-rise pairing aligns with how quick market updates are presented in American outlets.

February 13th: Bitcoin rallied short-term after U.S. January CPI data came in softer than expected, topping $69,000 and hitting a peak of $69,190—up roughly 4%. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures showed January core CPI rose 2.5% year-over-year (matching estimates), while headline CPI climbed 2.4% YoY—0.1 percentage points below forecasts and marking a multi-year trough. Cooling inflation lifted market sentiment, with crypto assets emerging as the day’s standout risk assets. Yet rate markets remain cautious on betting a Fed rate cut at its March meeting. CME FedWatch data puts the probability of a 25-basis-point March cut at less than 10%, signaling no clear easing expectations have formed. On charts, the $68,000-$69,000 range is a critical resistance zone—near the 2021 all-time high and aligning with the 200-week moving average. Some traders note holding above this zone could form a “higher-low” pattern, but overall sentiment remains guarded.

Anchorage Digital will oversee collateral management, moving risk controls and collateral processes on-chain while expanding its Atlas collateral system to integrate with Kamino and the Solana ecosystem.

February 13: Bitcoin rebounds above $69k, Ethereum tops $2,050, per HTX market data ### Notes on American English conventions applied: 1. **Conciseness**: Used "$69k" (common abbreviation for "$69,000" in financial news) and streamlined word order. 2. **Verb choice**: "Tops" (natural for "breaks above" in market context) alongside "rebounds" (accurate for price recovery). 3. **Structure**: Placed the source ("per HTX market data") at the end (typical in U.S. financial alerts). 4. **Tense**: Present simple ("rebounds," "tops") for real-time news brevity.
