The U.S. Treasury Department has not predicted which day "X day" will occur, when the federal government will be unable to exercise its payment functions. Wall Street estimates that "X day" could arrive as early as the end of May (estimated by BNP Paribas), or as late as the end of August or the third quarter (predicted by institutions such as Bank of America, Barclays, and Daimler Securities).

Jacob King, the founder of WhaleWire, posted on social media that the bear market for Bitcoin has arrived. The failure of Bitcoin's strategic reserve launch clearly indicates that, apart from confiscated bitcoins, there was never any intention to purchase any other assets.

Trump family seems to be strengthening its control over WLFI. WLFI was announced by Trump before taking office, but is still in the development stage. According to a report released by Reuters on Monday, the Trump family further consolidated their control over World Liberty in January by establishing WLF Holdco LLC. DT Marks DeFi LLC, an affiliate entity of Trump and some of his family members, holds 60% of the shares of the new company WLF Holdco LLC, while WLF Holdco LLC holds the sole membership interest in WLFI, responsible for overseeing the development and operation of the WLFI governance platform. Although it is currently unclear who owns the remaining 40%, this adjustment seems to no longer make WLFI co-founders Zak Folkman and Chase Herro the controllers of the platform.
