Is Bitcoin switching to pure speculation? On Binance, futures contracts weigh eight times more than the spot market, revealing a market dominated by leverage. A worrying or inevitable development?
The ETF market is experiencing a mixed quarter, as some products struggle to maintain their growth. ChainLink illustrates this situation with a fund whose value depends directly on a single asset. Launched on NYSE Arca in December 2025, Grayscale's product started with solid inflows. Since then, the drop in LINK has reduced its net asset value and slowed its net assets. The latest quarterly report thus confirms a marked slowdown, without signaling any massive investor withdrawals.

This unexpected convergence reignites the debate on the role of Real World Assets (RWA) in the evolution of financial markets.
Three years of waiting, $19 million down the drain — one Ethereum whale finally cracks. Meanwhile, others are stacking in silence. Who's right? The market holds its breath.
Thousands of billions of dollars could converge towards bitcoin over the next decade. This projection, put forward by Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, illustrates the acceleration of institutional adoption of cryptos. Far from a mere speculative scenario, the development of ETFs and regulated investment vehicles pushes the largest asset and wealth managers to progressively integrate bitcoin into their allocation strategies.
