Crypto phishing losses dropped 83% in 2025, with fewer victims and smaller attacks, yet new wallet scams and evolving threats continue to challenge users.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted 645.8 million dollars on January 2. In a still hesitant market, this volume is surprising. It marks the strongest day of inflows in over a month for Bitcoin products and an unprecedented peak since December for Ether. While 2025 ended on a decline, this surge is striking.
Bitcoin has just crossed $91,000, driven by a wave of political instability in Venezuela. The arrest of Nicolás Maduro and Donald Trump's announcement that the United States intends to lead the country have revived speculation about the economic and energy future of the region. In a crypto market always hypersensitive to geopolitical tensions, this sharp price increase reflects both the ambient uncertainty and investors' appetite for decentralized assets.
At the end of 2025, Ethereum didn't just finish the year well. It accelerated, then it broke the crypto counter. On December 29, 2025, the network validated 2.23 million transactions in a single day. A historic peak, supported by numbers.
Ethereum is about to enter a new era. In a message published on X, Vitalik Buterin announces a major technical upheaval: zk-EVMs could become, by 2027, the main block validation mechanism. A profound transformation of the protocol, which would mark one of the most ambitious turning points since the creation of the network. Performance, decentralization, scalability... Buterin claims the trilemma is "solved" in practice. One challenge remains: ensuring security.
The dollar pulls the strings, Maduro falls, Kiyosaki philosophizes... and bitcoin rises! Simple coincidence? Not sure, but it's worth a little tour behind the scenes of oil.
While crypto markets struggle to find direction, a key indicator has crossed a symbolic threshold: the Fear & Greed Index returns to the neutral zone for the first time since October. This reversal in investor sentiment follows months of extreme fear, marked by a violent crash and persistent volatility. In a still tense global climate, this signal could mark a psychological respite... but certainly not yet a recovery.
When the yen drowns, Metaplanet rows towards bitcoin: a strategy that makes Tokyo smile... except creditors. While Japan goes into debt, others stack BTC.
While Donald Trump promises to revive the Venezuelan economy through a strong comeback of its oil industry, the major players in the American oil sector remain skeptical. Behind the stated ambition, the facts are relentless: crumbling infrastructure, political instability, and widespread distrust in the markets. Both Wall Street and the oil majors see this project as a high-risk gamble, with colossal costs and no guarantee of success. Venezuela's rebound under Trump might well remain an illusion.
