Normandy could soon host the first bitcoin mining farm in France, financed by the Sultanate of Oman. This unique project, at the intersection of energy, technological, and geopolitical issues, crystallizes French ambitions in the digital economy. At a time when energy sovereignty is becoming central, this initiative raises questions about the role that France wants to play in the global crypto ecosystem.
When Japan, China, and South Korea sit down at the same table, it's not to discuss the weather. In a world where trade tensions reshape alliances, their recent meeting could very well change the game in Asia... and beyond. Between promises, caution, and joint projects, a new geopolitical chapter seems to be unfolding in three voices.
The hype has faded like a poorly minted NFT: the flamboyant tales of Bitcoin are fading away, leaving only the echo of a promise sold too soon.
Bitcoin wavers after its surge beyond 100,000 dollars. The ongoing correction rekindles tensions in the markets, fueling doubts about the strength of the bullish trend. While the threshold of 65,000 dollars resurfaces in analysts' projections, the specter of a reversal looms. Between hopes of consolidation and fears of a bearish cycle, uncertainty prevails.
Against all odds, BlackRock, the global asset management giant, is shaking up conventional wisdom about Bitcoin. While cryptocurrencies are often associated with volatility and risk, Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, debunks this narrative. In a context where Bitcoin has lost 20% of its value since its peak at the end of 2023, his recent statements on CNBC resonate like a bold advocacy. Why does a traditional institution defend such a disruptive vision? The answer lies in a subtle strategy and a deep understanding of market evolution.
As the digital gold of Bitcoin attracts the crowds, the shadow of Ethereum thickens, abandoned, drained, powerless to entice the trembling hands of the crypto market.
As the American stock market experiences a period of turbulence, Warren Buffett, known as the Oracle of Omaha, has made a strategic withdrawal from certain American assets to strengthen his positions in Japan.
As Bitcoin hovers around $85,000, a subtle tension stirs in the markets. Behind this apparent resistance lies a paradoxical movement: the "whales" are quietly preparing their offensive. Their strategy? Massive bets against it, despite a technical rebound that would make optimists dream. A risky game, indicative of unprecedented mistrust, but also of an invisible battle where every dollar counts.
Take a deep breath: Bitcoin now represents 1.3% of the world's currency, with a market cap flirting with 1.7 trillion dollars. Yes, you read that right. A small piece of code born in 2009 has made its way to the same table as heavyweights like the US dollar (20.9 trillion dollars) or gold (20.2 trillion dollars). We may still be a long way from flipping the table, but clearly, Satoshi has set his napkin down well.
The crypto universe has never feared the absurd. But when blockchain gets entangled with biblical prophecies, even the most seasoned raise an eyebrow. On Polymarket, a decentralized predictive betting platform, a bold contract challenges the laws of the sacred: a 3% chance that Jesus Christ will return before the end of 2025. An unusual bet, certainly, but indicative of an era where decentralized finance embraces the most improbable mythologies.
