After years of uncertainty and tug-of-war between innovation and crypto regulation, the United States finally seems ready to define its course on the burning issue of crypto. On July 17, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) heralded a historic legislative turning point: the passage of the GENIUS Act in the House of Representatives. This ambitious text, now on its way to Donald Trump's desk for enactment, aims to lay the groundwork for clear, proactive, and decidedly future-oriented regulation. Behind the acronyms and well-rehearsed speeches, a message is emerging: crypto is no longer a regulatory anomaly but a strategic lever for the American economy.
The White House is preparing to open a new chapter in the integration of cryptocurrencies into the savings of American households.

This is a significant decline, the largest since 2009, validated by the Banque de France and in accordance with the regulatory formula. In an still fragile economic climate, this decision reignites the debate on the profitability of regulated savings and raises questions about the future choices of savers in search of alternative solutions.
