On February 15th, Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed that Tesla (TSLA.O) will cease selling its Full Self-Driving (FSD) assistance system on a one-time payment basis, instead adopting a monthly subscription model. This change will take effect after February 14th. Tesla previously sold the system for a one-time payment of $8,000 or a monthly subscription fee of $99. While Musk did not explain the reason for this adjustment, his compensation is partly dependent on business growth. According to the compensation plan approved by shareholders last November, Tesla must achieve several targets, including reaching 10 million FSD subscribers, before Musk can receive additional stock awards. Furthermore, it was reported that in Australia, the deadline for the one-time purchase option has been postponed to March 31st.February 15 - Japanese police said on February 15 local time that a stabbing incident occurred in Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka City in the early hours of the day, resulting in the death of one victim.

The letter outlined the types of redacting and provided a detailed list of numerous prominent or "politically sensitive" individuals mentioned in the documents, even though they had no direct contact with Epstein or his ex-girlfriend and accomplice Maxwell, but were mentioned in news clippings and other sources.February 15th - According to statistics released by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), in January 2026, banks settled 2.0048 trillion yuan in foreign exchange and sold 1.4457 trillion yuan; banks foreign exchange receipts on behalf of clients totaled 5.4722 trillion yuan, while their payments totaled 4.8974 trillion yuan. Li Bin, Deputy Director and Spokesperson of SAFE, explained that in January, both the banks foreign exchange settlement surplus and the net inflow of cross-border funds from non-bank sectors such as enterprises and individuals declined compared to the previous month. This was mainly due to seasonal factors; while corporate receipts and settlements increased rapidly, the growth slowed recently as demand gradually increased. "Overall, my countrys foreign exchange market is active, expectations are stable, and cross-border capital flows are becoming more stable," said Li Bin.On February 15th, a netizen raised a question on social media: SpaceX is shifting its focus from Mars to the Moon and plans to build an autonomous city on the Moon within ten years, but why is it making this change? Musk responded: "It needs to be clear that we will continue to advance the Mars program. I believe this adjustment will not affect the timeline for the autonomous development of a Martian city by more than five years, and may even accelerate the development process on Mars."

Binance has signed on as the Recording Academy's first official cryptocurrency exchange partner.


Binance will be sought out by the Recording Academy to spearhead Web3 efforts.


Binance's collaboration with the Recording Academy is the latest in a series of K-Pop collaborations aimed at increasing fan interaction.


Binance, one of the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, was in the news again today. Despite recent clashes with regulators in a number of locations, Binance continues to push the crypto envelope.


To raise brand exposure, cryptocurrency exchanges have targeted mainstream events. eToro, FTX, Coinbase, and Crypto.com were featured in Super Bowl LVI in February, with the crypto exchanges purchasing half-time ad time.

Binance Sponsors the Grammys in the US

Binance became the Recording Academy's first-ever official crypto exchange partner today, according to news reports. The Grammy Awards, the only peer-recognized music honor, are organized by the Recording Academy.


Binance and the Recording Academy will apparently use Web3 to boost music fan engagement, as revealed by the Recording Academy on Twitter.


The Grammy Awards attracted only 8.8 million viewers in 2021, down from 18.7 million in 2020.


The previous low was 17 million in 2006, according to the New York Times. Staples Corner, currently known as Crypto.com Arena, hosted the event in 2021.


Similar trends have been observed in other broadcast award shows and significant athletic events.


While viewership for Super Bowl LVI dropped to a 15-year low, crypto exchanges experienced a surge in visitors shortly after their commercials aired. Binance is looking for the same thing.


Web 3 is not new to the Recording Academy. The Academy and Tezos-based NFT platform OneOf struck a three-year contract in November.


After forming relationships with K-Pop, Binance supports the Grammy Awards.

Music Industry and Global Fan Base Binance

Binance and KStarLive announced the release of "THE SHOW FanBox NFT Collection" in late 2021.


THE SHOW FanBox NFT Collection was FEATURED's first K-Pop performance NFT release. Binance's innovation arm, FEATURED, is a non-custodial, on-chain NFT platform.


SM Brand Marketing and YG Entertainment have also developed strategic collaborations with Binance.


Binance and SM Brand Marketing are working together to create a global Play-to-Create (P2C) ecosystem. Users will be able to generate content and items such as games, music, dance, and merchandise that can be converted into NFTs using P2C.


YG Entertainment, a K-pop label, and Binance are collaborating to build Metaverse, NFT, and gaming options.


Binance provides K-Pop with a worldwide platform for fan retention and engagement.


Binance will be looked to by the Recording Academy to spearhead similar projects in order to keep the Grammys at the forefront of the music business.


The 2022 Grammy Awards will be held on April 3 in Las Vegas.
