Fascinated by Bitcoin since 2017, Evariste has continuously researched the subject. While his initial interest was in trading, he now actively seeks to understand all advances centered on cryptocurrencies. As an editor, he strives to consistently deliver high-quality work that reflects the state of the sector as a whole.
Bitcoin remains king, but its throne is shaking. Its dominance is gently slipping, allowing for a resurgence of altcoins. Leading the way are Ethereum and XRP, as challengers regain ground.
After years of uncertainty and tug-of-war between innovation and crypto regulation, the United States finally seems ready to define its course on the burning issue of crypto. On July 17, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) heralded a historic legislative turning point: the passage of the GENIUS Act in the House of Representatives. This ambitious text, now on its way to Donald Trump's desk for enactment, aims to lay the groundwork for clear, proactive, and decidedly future-oriented regulation. Behind the acronyms and well-rehearsed speeches, a message is emerging: crypto is no longer a regulatory anomaly but a strategic lever for the American economy.
While some are watching for the slightest sign of a pullback, Bitcoin and Ether-backed ETFs continue their triumphant march. In a single day, these financial products attracted nearly $600 million, a sign of institutional appetite that shows no sign of weakening. This wave of enthusiasm outlines the contours of an increasingly assertive adoption of cryptocurrencies within traditional portfolios.
On Tuesday, in a turn as unexpected as it is symbolic, the United States House of Representatives canceled crucial votes on two major cryptocurrency bills. This setback, occurring during the height of "Crypto Week," follows a procedural failure that exposes the deep political divisions surrounding the regulation of digital assets. While attention was focused on the imminent adoption of the "Clarity" and "GENIUS" texts, discussions are now stalled, casting uncertainty on the future of the U.S. crypto framework.
Quantum computing, often seen as a sword of Damocles hanging over blockchains, has fueled fantasies and speculations for more than a decade. In this universe of uncertainty, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, presents a contrarian diagnosis: lucid, quantified, but above all, confident. For him, the arrival of machines capable of breaking current cryptographic foundations is not a fatality, it is a deadline. And Ethereum will be ready for it.
For a long time, bitcoin reigned supreme as the uncontested master of the cryptocurrency realm, particularly in the area of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). But today, a turning point is taking place. Discreetly, methodically, Ethereum is beginning to nibble away at market shares and is capturing the attention of institutional investors. A recent report from CoinShares highlights this astonishing dynamic: ether is no longer just following; it is asserting itself. Behind the numbers lies a reality taking hold: the dominance of bitcoin in crypto ETFs is no longer so evident.
Bitcoin has just crossed a symbolic and historical milestone: it surpasses Amazon in the stock market with a valuation of over 2.4 trillion dollars. It is no longer just a digital currency: it is now one of the most powerful assets on the planet. Decoding a silent but irreversible economic earthquake.
Sometimes, all it takes is a single week of silence to sow doubt. When Michael Saylor stopped his weekly bitcoin purchases, speculation ran rampant. Strategic pause or sign of fatigue? The answer hit skeptics like a slap in the face: a massive new buyback of BTC, accompanied by a colossal fundraising effort. Saylor's obsession with the digital asset is only intensifying, and behind this frantic accumulation lies a much more ambitious logic than that of a mere speculative bet.
As Bitcoin soars to new heights, some analysts shout about rational euphoria. Others, more cautious, remind us that the party may be short-lived. Behind the dizzying numbers and cascading records looms a shadow: that of the American Federal Reserve. For while markets anticipate a drop in rates, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon plays the party pooper and suggests otherwise. A bad surprise from the Fed could derail Bitcoin's momentum, especially in a context where retail investors remain strangely absent. Is the king of cryptos running on empty? Analysis.
By continually reaching new heights, Bitcoin has finally surpassed them. This week, the pioneer of cryptocurrencies not only broke its own record: it has also pulled a host of stock values along with it, from exchange giants like Coinbase to the most aggressive miners. A spectacular surge that speaks volumes about the market's mindset: crypto is no longer on the sidelines; it is taking center stage. And when it ignites, an entire parallel economy, now institutional as well, is set ablaze. A breakdown of a week that will be remembered in the annals of digital finance.
Crypto is at a crossroads. Under the cold neon lights of the Capitol, the fate of a digital world is being decided with ink and calculations. Starting from July 14, Washington begins its "Crypto Week": a decisive parliamentary sequence where three major bills will be debated. Three texts, three possible directions for the future of digital assets in the United States.
It is no longer just a sudden rise; it is a controlled explosion: bitcoin has just reached $118,000, driven by an institutional appetite rarely seen in the history of crypto. Meanwhile, Ethereum exceeds $3,000, like a second wind in this dizzying ascent. But how far can this madness go?
Bitcoin continues to defy predictions. While some declared it to be out of breath after its recent peaks, the market shows clear signs of a resurgence. This is no longer just fevered speculation: on-chain data paints a much more nuanced, yet terrifically optimistic picture. Heading towards $130,000, the indicators proclaim. The inflection point is approaching, and the signals are clear: Bitcoin is far from having said its last word.
No one bets on a campfire when the rain is falling. Yet, NFTs continue to crackle, even in the downpour. While trading volumes shrink quarter after quarter, sales are holding firm: $2.82 billion collected in the first half of 2025. Fewer dollars per transaction, but more hands are reaching out. The market is no longer frantic; it breathes differently, calmer, denser. And that might be the best news crypto has had in months.
A star shines brighter than the others in the saturated arena of neobanks: Revolut. In London, ambitions are no longer hidden. With a funding round of one billion dollars in preparation, the company aims for a colossal valuation of 65 billion dollars. And at the heart of this ascent? One word: crypto. Because it's not just a diversification, it's a strategy. A conviction. A compass.
