While Satoshi's identity continues to fascinate the crypto ecosystem, a new controversy rekindles the debate. A recent investigation puts forward the name Adam Back as the creator of Bitcoin, but Michael Saylor strongly disputes this hypothesis. Between linguistic analyses, old exchanges, and lack of cryptographic evidence, the mystery remains unsolved. In a sector seeking certainties, this new confrontation mainly illustrates one thing: the Satoshi enigma still resists all identification attempts.

Quantum computing is gradually establishing itself as the next major challenge for bitcoin, reigniting fears of a structural flaw at the heart of cryptography.

Zcash recorded one of the most violent moves of the day, but this jump of more than 20% to 30% looks more like a speculative surge under tension than a clean and sustainable reversal.

Blockchain development has moved well past the proof-of-concept stage. In 2026, developers and traders routinely work across multiple chains, pull wallet data from dozens of networks, and feed real-time market information into bots, dashboards, and AI agents. The common thread behind all of these workflows is a reliable crypto API.

The mystery surrounding the creator of Bitcoin resurfaces. A new investigation by the New York Times points to Adam Back as the probable Satoshi Nakamoto. But between firm denials and weak evidence, the truth still seems out of reach. Are we finally witnessing the end of a myth... or yet another false lead?

Trust has become the single most important factor separating reputable crypto exchanges from the rest. The collapse of FTX in 2022 reminded the entire industry that volume and brand recognition mean nothing without solid fundamentals. In 2026, the bar has been raised considerably: cold storage, proof-of-reserves reporting, multi-layer risk monitoring, regulatory licenses, and insurance funds are no longer optional. They are the baseline. The EU’s MiCA regulation is now fully enforced, with 14 exchanges holding CASP authorization as of March 2026.

The BRICS are rapidly increasing their gold reserves. In a few years, their share of global stocks has significantly risen, reflecting a strategic shift. This movement takes place in the context of questioning the role of the dollar in the international monetary system. Behind these acquisitions, a trend is confirmed: several major economies seek to reduce their dependence on the greenback. This development could permanently alter the balance of financial powers.
