In a constantly evolving crypto market, altcoins are often presented as innovative alternatives to Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, according to Alon Cohen, co-founder of Pump.fun, the majority of them serve only one purpose: to be memecoins. He argues that the cryptocurrency market is flooded with projects that, while claiming to bring innovations or technical solutions, do not actually have any significant differentiation from memecoins.

The evolution of the crypto market often relies on subtle signals that only savvy investors know how to interpret. Among these, the inflows to accumulation addresses are closely monitored, as they help anticipate bullish trends. On February 7th, these addresses recorded a record influx of $883 million in Ethereum (ETH), an event that, historically, precedes major price increases. As competition among blockchains intensifies and the regulatory framework evolves, this massive accumulation of ETH raises a crucial question: Is Ethereum preparing for a new peak at $4,000 and beyond?

While Bitcoin and Ethereum have paved the way for ETFs, it is now Solana that is set to write a new chapter. The SEC has just ignited an unexpected fuse: the agency has started the countdown for the approval of a Solana ETF. A decision that reeks of gunpowder, as it contrasts sharply with its hostile past. But behind this turnaround lie issues far deeper than just a simple regulatory green light.

The crypto exchange Coinbase is asserting itself as a major force in the American financial sector, with over $420 billion in assets under management. This rise comes as the company fights fiercely against banking restrictions imposed on the crypto sector.

The fusion of technology and power is an equation that Elon Musk seems to have made his playground. From controlling Twitter (now X) to space initiatives with SpaceX, the billionaire has made numerous incursions into spheres traditionally reserved for states. His latest initiative, targeting the U.S. Treasury's payment system, has not succeeded this time. What was supposed to be a transparency operation regarding the management of financial flows has turned into an unprecedented legal confrontation, questioning the legality of such control. In light of the controversy and the risks of disclosing sensitive information, the judiciary has ruled and imposed an immediate ban on Musk and his collaborators.

Financial and crypto markets are evolving amidst increasing uncertainty, and Bitcoin is no exception. As volatility intensifies, investors are watching closely the critical threshold of $93,000, a key level whose breach could trigger a cascade of massive liquidations estimated at $1.3 billion. This critical scenario unfolds in a tense geopolitical context, where the trade war between the United States and China affects all risk assets. The fear of a harsh correction in Bitcoin, long seen as a refuge against macroeconomic instability, fuels speculation and heightens investor caution.

This week, the crypto universe was shaken by five major events that you may have missed. From the rise of AI in DeFi to the restructuring of THORChain, along with soaring revenues on Solana and the market downturn, here are the key points to know.

The crypto market continues to face regulatory uncertainties in the United States. While institutional investors were hoping for a major breakthrough with the introduction of Ethereum ETF options, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again postponed its decision. This choice underscores the caution of the financial authority, despite the precedent set by Bitcoin ETF options, which are already in place. Behind this delay lies a whole segment of the crypto finance that remains suspended under still vague regulations, caught between growth potential and increased control by authorities.

And if the disappointing figures of American employment were hiding a backdoor to an unprecedented opportunity for Bitcoin? While the media is mired in economic forecasts, another story is quietly weaving itself: that of a cryptocurrency ready to defy the gravity of traditional markets. Amid frozen expectations from the Fed and surprising legislative advances, Bitcoin positions itself as a mischievous outsider. Ready to leap?

The world of traditional finance is increasingly intertwined with that of Bitcoin, and BlackRock's recent moves only confirm this dynamic. Indeed, the asset management giant, with its $11.6 trillion under management, has just increased its stake in MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, to 5%. This rise does not go unnoticed: it comes as Strategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin massively, in order to strengthen its role as a pioneer among publicly traded companies. More than just an investment, this strategic alignment raises questions about the future of Bitcoin in institutional portfolios and the place that giants like BlackRock wish to occupy in this rapidly expanding ecosystem.

In an era where artificial intelligence is emerging as an essential strategic lever, France is preparing to host one of the most ambitious projects in Europe: the construction of a campus dedicated to AI supported by the United Arab Emirates. With an announced investment between 30 and 50 billion euros, this initiative represents a significant advance in the international competition for technological sovereignty and computing power. Behind this announcement lies a clear objective: to make France a European hub for artificial intelligence, thanks to cutting-edge infrastructure capable of competing with American and Chinese giants.

The crypto universe remains a legal battleground where technology and law clash mercilessly. Alexey Pertsev, the emblematic figure of the Tornado Cash mixing protocol, has just reached a key milestone: released under electronic surveillance after eighteen months of detention, he is preparing his appeal. A mixed victory. For while the Dutch jails are opening slightly, the Russian developer remains chained to an electronic bracelet, a symbol of freedom under control. His case, much more than a simple judicial fact, embodies the burning tensions between decentralized innovation and legal responsibility.

The social network X, formerly Twitter, is once again under judicial investigation in France. On January 12, Deputy Eric Bothorel alerted the Paris prosecutor's office about the algorithms of Elon Musk's platform, suspected of manipulation. This investigation follows several ongoing legal actions against the platform.

The decentralized application (DApp) market is dominated by gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi), but artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining ground.

The United States is ramping up its efforts to regulate dollar-backed stablecoins. A new bill, led by Republican lawmakers, aims to establish a clear regulatory framework. This initiative reflects the desire to strengthen the dominance of the dollar while promoting innovation in the crypto sector.

The rapid rise of AI-backed cryptocurrencies in 2024 heralded a decisive turning point for the convergence between blockchain and AI. Fueled by market euphoria and enthusiasm for agentic AIs, these assets attracted massive capital flows, propelling their valuations to unprecedented heights. However, the enthusiasm evaporated as quickly as it appeared: within just a few months, some of these tokens lost up to 90% of their value. This collapse raises critical questions about the viability of these projects and the strength of the market. Are investors facing a mere correction after a speculative surge, or are we witnessing the beginnings of a lasting disinterest?
