The blockchain forgets nothing, but it sometimes knows how to bounce back with unexpected elegance. While some observers relegated Ethereum to a slow stagnation, the Pectra affair came to rewrite the scenario. After 3.8 billion dollars injected into the ecosystem, the second cryptocurrency by market capitalization is getting a new lease on life. Is it just a flash in the pan or the beginnings of a renaissance? Decoding.

April 2025 will be remembered as a particularly dark month for the Livret A. This savings tool, popular among the French, posted an unprecedented negative balance since 2009, with withdrawals exceeding deposits by 200 million euros. The recent decrease in its interest rate seems to have caused a general disillusionment among savers.

Ethereum has never really left the radar of investors. But in recent days, a particular thrill has swept through the crypto market. With a meteoric rise towards $2,700, the prospect of a return to $3,000 is becoming clearer. It is no longer a distant hypothesis, but a scenario that is regaining color. And behind this rise, a simple reality: profits are reborn, and with them, the market's appetite.

As cryptocurrency gradually reshapes the lines of global financial power, the American Democratic Party is experiencing an unprecedented political storm. The Senate vote on May 19 for the GENIUS Act – a regulatory framework for stablecoins – has fractured the already fragile unity of the Democrats. By agreeing to move forward with the legislation, sixteen senators chose to navigate murky waters, risking the alienation of their own electorate.

Financial dramas are unfolding, yet they do not resemble each other in the crypto universe. The latest twist: Cardano, long praised for its academic rigor, faces an explosive accusation of misappropriating around 600 million dollars in ADA. Charles Hoskinson, the project's guiding figure, promises an audit. This affair could redefine trust at the very heart of decentralized governance.

Spring 2025 may be mild, but the Bitcoin blockchain is heating up like never before. On Sunday, the price of BTC brushed against $106,000 again, awakening old FOMO instincts. However, the noisiest indicator isn't the quote, but these micro-amounts that add up: transaction fees. With a moving average of $2.40 — one dollar more than at the beginning of the month — they are already breaking the annual record. Behind this seemingly trivial detail lies an unfiltered X-ray of the network's state and the psychology of holders.

Bitcoin has once again shaken up the market. By surpassing the $105,000 mark, the iconic crypto has returned to levels it hasn't seen since January. This surge, accompanied by a rise in the major altcoins, reignites speculation: is it just a technical rebound or the start of a new bullish cycle? In a rapidly changing geopolitical context, as investors regain their appetite for risk, signals are multiplying... but their interpretation remains uncertain.

May 2025. Bitcoin is navigating beyond $103,000, but this seemingly dizzying figure may just be a warm-up. Behind the scenes, a structural imbalance is taking hold: supply is melting away like snow in the sun, while institutional demand is skyrocketing. Some already speak of a point of no return. Others, like Bitwise or Strategy, are betting on an explosion in prices — up to $200,000 before the end of next year. Myth or inevitable mechanism? What is certain is that the race is on, and the stakes are colossal.

In the already tumultuous galaxy of Elon Musk, a star named Grok has just made a notable swerve. The AI chatbot of the South African-American billionaire, meant to embody an anti-woke alternative to ChatGPT, has recently distinguished itself with unexpected responses. To unrelated questions, Grok has repeatedly brought up – unsolicited – an alleged "white genocide" in South Africa. Is this a bug, a bias, or a programmed ideological impulse? The boundary is becoming blurred.

A crooked smile, an evasive response. During a recent episode of The Block's Crypto Beat podcast, Dan Finlay, co-founder of MetaMask, reignited speculation about a hypothetical native token for the Ethereum wallet. "Maybe," he dropped, implying a long-simmering possibility behind the scenes. While the idea of a home crypto has excited the community since 2021, Finlay's statements reveal as much enthusiasm as caution. Amid gradual decentralization, shifting regulations, and fears of fraud, MetaMask is navigating a landscape where every step counts.

It's a paradox that would make even the most seasoned economists raise their eyebrows: while the dollar wavers, the Asian economy is rising up with an almost insolent confidence. At a time when the American Federal Reserve is hesitating on interest rates, and trade tensions seem to be easing without really dissipating, Asia is benefiting from an unexpected boost. This shows that even in the global monetary fog, some find their way.

Crypto is about to take a bold turn. PumpSwap, the DEX of Pump.Fun on Solana, is introducing a revenue sharing model that could redefine the rules of the game. Now, 50% of trading fees are returned to token creators. Even better: 0.05% of each swap is directly allocated to developers. An unprecedented model, conducive to innovation... or abuse.

This Tuesday morning, Paris shivered. The daughter of a famous crypto magnate narrowly avoided a kidnapping worthy of a failed thriller in the heart of the 11th arrondissement of Paris. The incident, violent and unexpected, shook residents and authorities. Quickly, the news spread through financial circles. The words Crypto and audacity have never sounded so loud.
