Unbeknownst to the general public, a monetary shift is taking place in Europe. The US dollar is losing ground there.

May 2025. Bitcoin is navigating beyond $103,000, but this seemingly dizzying figure may just be a warm-up. Behind the scenes, a structural imbalance is taking hold: supply is melting away like snow in the sun, while institutional demand is skyrocketing. Some already speak of a point of no return. Others, like Bitwise or Strategy, are betting on an explosion in prices — up to $200,000 before the end of next year. Myth or inevitable mechanism? What is certain is that the race is on, and the stakes are colossal.

Trump promised miracles, Moody's delivers slaps: the American economy is sinking, the debt is exploding, and the rating falls. Budget magic or just an electoral sleight of hand?

In the already tumultuous galaxy of Elon Musk, a star named Grok has just made a notable swerve. The AI chatbot of the South African-American billionaire, meant to embody an anti-woke alternative to ChatGPT, has recently distinguished itself with unexpected responses.

A discreet yet structuring dynamic that could well redefine the foundations of the next bullish cycle.

Long limited to its role as a store of value, Bitcoin is making a decisive breakthrough into DeFi. With the launch of the Peg-BTC (YBTC) token on the Sui network, Bitlayer introduces a "trustless" BitVM bridge that eliminates centralized intermediaries. This initiative marks a notable evolution. BTC becomes a fully usable asset within decentralized protocols, previously dominated by native tokens. A new chapter opens, that of an interoperable, mobile Bitcoin now active in programmable finance.

In the face of criticism regarding its governance, technical roadmap, and talent drain, Paul Brody (EY) and Josh Stark (Ethereum Foundation) defended a bold vision: that of a complex, but fundamentally robust network.
