The era of plastic is coming to an end. As Visa and Mastercard struggle under the weight of opaque fees and archaic delays, a new form of infrastructure is quietly taking power. Stablecoins, long relegated to the realm of traders' tools, are now establishing themselves at the heart of the Web as the "default settlement layer." This is no longer a futuristic hypothesis: it is a reality that is grounded in numbers and usage.

The bitcoin market is holding its breath. As the flagship crypto flirts with 109,000 dollars, a level never before reached in weekly closing, the spotlight is on an electrifying weekend. At the intersection of technical analysis and the psychological warfare between traders, BTC seems ready to break a symbolic and historic ceiling. The signs are there: a persistent bullish structure, affirmed technical signals, and above all, the striking return of a name that alone is enough to shift the market's lines. This is not just a simple rise; it is a potential shift in era for bitcoin.

Since Bitcoin established itself as a serious store of value in the eyes of companies, a new category of players has emerged: Bitcoin treasury companies. Presented as the pioneers of the finance of the future, they are now faced with a harsh reality. According to a chilling report from the venture capital fund Breed, the vast majority of them are on the verge of extinction, trapped in a spiral that is as predictable as it is fatal.

While public opinion gets bogged down in debates over ETFs and speculative bubbles, the U.S. government is taking action. Discreetly, but resolutely. Behind the walls of the Capitol, a strategic reserve of bitcoin is being established. This is no longer theory: it is now confirmed. And this revelation changes the game.

The world of crypto is evolving at a dizzying speed, and Coinbase knows it better than anyone else. In the midst of the DeFi sector's excitement, the American exchange continues to push the technical and economic boundaries of interoperability. This week, it is the turn of Cardano (ADA) and Litecoin (LTC) to cross a symbolic milestone: their integration in the form of "wrapped" tokens on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Coinbase. This maneuver is not just a simple gadget, but a clear strategy to connect decentralized worlds to each other.

Kraken, often discreet but never truly withdrawn, has just taken a strategic step that could reshuffle the crypto market in Europe. By obtaining its regulatory license under the MiCA framework, the platform is stepping into the big leagues at a continental level, just behind Coinbase, but not too far behind to be considered lagging. In an environment where compliance is becoming a must-have, Kraken chooses to embrace regulation rather than circumvent it. And this choice could pay off handsomely.

In the unpredictable world of cryptos, sometimes all it takes is a single catalyst to thrust a project into the spotlight. This week, it's Sei (SEI), a still discreet altcoin, that surged by 47% in just 24 hours. What sparked this rise? An unexpected announcement from Wyoming, which is considering leveraging the Sei blockchain to launch its state-backed stablecoin. A major turning point that could make Sei one of the crypto revelations of 2025.

Financial markets are going through a fascinating period, where the boundaries between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies are increasingly blurred. BNB, the native token of the Binance ecosystem, is taking a bold new step by becoming the cornerstone of an institutional initiative listed on Nasdaq, fueled by an impressive raise of 100 million dollars.

Trump rewards holders of his memecoin with a private dinner. Immediate reaction: Adam Schiff, a Democratic senator, draws up a law to regulate the use of cryptocurrency by political officials. A confrontation that mixes digital assets, conflicts of interest, and electoral calculations.

The world of French tech is reaching a new milestone. Sequans, a specialist in IoT semiconductors, chooses Bitcoin to strengthen its financial strategy. A rare, bold decision that carries significant meaning in the current economic context.

As bitcoin continues to divide institutions, Texas catches everyone off guard. In a gesture as symbolic as it is strategic, the state adopts a public Bitcoin reserve, boldly declaring its ambition to play a central role in tomorrow's digital economy. An initiative that challenges the traditional codes of public finance management and could very well set a precedent.

As the crypto universe once again wavers under geopolitical shocks and market whims, a silent player charts its course, come hell or high water: Chainlink. In an atmosphere saturated with uncertainties, the oracle protocol appears to have awakened a peculiar appetite among the whales, those market creatures that never move for nothing.

As Bitcoin stumbles under the blows of brutal volatility, an enigmatic tweet from Michael Saylor adds fuel to the fire. An AI-generated image, a nod to The Matrix, and this cryptic phrase: "Tickets to escape the Matrix are sold in Bitcoin." Is it just a jest? Or a coded message for those who still know how to read between the lines?
