Japanese Metaplanet continues its offensive on bitcoin with a new strategic step. Already known for its massive accumulation of BTC, the group now wants to influence the very infrastructure of the ecosystem. With the creation of a new investment entity endowed with 4 billion yen, the company seeks to support the rise of bitcoin in Japan.

Autonomous agents capable of purchasing data, APIs, or computing resources already exist, supported by blockchain and micropayments. Yet, the real figures fall far short of the initial enthusiasm.

Sam Bankman-Fried faces another setback in the United States.

Bitcoin is again moving within an uncertainty zone around 70,000 dollars. Behind this apparent stability, markets watch a key factor: U.S. monetary policy. The latest economic data released in the United States have cooled expectations of a rapid rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Thus, the probabilities of easing as early as March have almost evaporated. In this context, the crypto market enters a wait-and-see phase. Between macroeconomic signals and key technical levels, analysts now try to anticipate Bitcoin's next direction.

American senators are afraid of the digital dollar. Too much control, not enough privacy. So they killed it in the egg. Stablecoins, on the other hand, are invited to the party. Clever.
