Bitcoin, often regarded as a safe haven against the volatility of traditional markets, finds itself this week caught in a global storm fueled by trade tensions between the United States and the rest of the world. Following a series of economic shocks, some analysts do not hesitate to compare the current situation to a Black Monday 2.0. But is it really the end of the bull market for Bitcoin or just a simple correction phase? Here are five key points to remember this week to understand the challenges Bitcoin is facing.

As clouds gathered over the crypto landscape, a lightning bolt split the sky: Ethereum, an indispensable pillar, lost 14% of its value in 24 hours. A brutal drop, amplified by the liquidation of an Ethereum whale for $106 million on Sky, the DeFi platform rebranded in August. Behind these numbers lie cold mechanisms, ruthless mathematical ratios, and a chain reaction cruelly reminiscent of the fragility of decentralized ecosystems. What if this debacle reflected a market still too sensitive to geopolitical shocks, such as Donald Trump's recent customs announcements? A deep dive into the guts of algorithmic carnage.

The crypto universe is anything but routine. This time, it's Conor McGregor, MMA icon and seasoned entrepreneur, shaking up the market with his memecoin "Real." Launched via a sealed auction—a first to avoid manipulation—this project combines crypto audacity with a formidable marketing strategy. Between revolutionary promises and analyst skepticism, "Real" raises a burning question: what if McGregor manages to change the game... for a fourth time?

Cryptocurrency is no longer a marginal experience. It is now embedded in the daily lives of millions of Americans, reshaping the contours of their financial autonomy. A recent study by the National Cryptocurrency Association reveals that 55 million adults hold digital assets. Among them, 76% believe that this technology has improved their quality of life. Far from clichés about speculation, these figures unveil a more nuanced reality: massive, pragmatic adoption, and a source of concrete hopes.

As waves of economic uncertainty overwhelm the markets, the crypto universe holds its breath. Circle, the stablecoin giant, wavers between ambition and caution. Its IPO project, though firmly anchored, could sink into the murky waters of Trumpian policies. A decision that speaks volumes about the storms to come.

PayPal is accelerating into the crypto space by directly integrating Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK) into its wallet. This new feature is currently reserved for American users and associated territories. More than just a technical update, this decision is a significant boost for the massive adoption of cryptocurrencies. The intermediary MoonPay is no longer needed, making the experience seamless: buying, selling, and transferring these tokens becomes as simple as a few clicks. But behind this novelty lie much broader stakes. Here’s what you need to know.

In a context where crypto is infiltrating the corridors of power, an accusation shakes Washington. Representative Maxine Waters, a key figure of the Financial Services Committee, accuses Donald Trump of manipulating the legislative chessboard to impose his own crypto interests. Behind the semblance of a technical debate on stablecoins lies a much more troubling battle: that of a president seeking to replace the dollar with a digital currency bearing his likeness.

Finance is undergoing a silent yet brutal metamorphosis. Bitcoin, born from the shadows of the 2008 crisis, today embodies a revolution that shakes the foundations of banks. Between promises of emancipation and technical challenges, its rise raises the question: can it really dethrone the giants of traditional finance? Far from clichés, let us dive into an unflinching analysis.

Once again, GameStop defies expectations. Known for its stock surges and status, the video game retailer makes a new move by raising $1.5 billion through a convertible debt issuance. The stated goal: to integrate bitcoin into its balance sheet. A bold shift for a company in search of rebirth, amid a turbulent legacy and crypto ambitions.

In 2025, declaring your cryptocurrencies has never been so strategic. With the entry into force of the European MiCA regulation and the tightening of tax controls, holders of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other digital assets must be extra vigilant. Mistakes can be costly: penalties, adjustments, or even suspicions of fraud. Here is a powerful guide to navigate the key dates and nuances of the French tax regime, without getting lost in administrative maze.

The crypto world has experienced a financial earthquake. In the first quarter of 2025, hackers siphoned off $1.63 billion, shattering all records. A staggering figure, boosted by the titanic attack on Bybit, which alone accounts for 92% of the losses. But behind these brutal statistics lie more nuanced realities: exploited vulnerabilities, vulnerable ecosystems, and fragile resilience. A dive into the depths of a crisis that shakes the foundations of decentralization.

Bitcoin is going through an unprecedented calm phase. Weekly trading volumes have just reached their lowest level in two years, a signal that draws attention. Are we facing prolonged stagnation or a pause before a new bullish momentum? For savvy investors, this slowdown could hide a strategic opportunity. Analysis!

Elon Musk's influence now transcends the boundaries of the technology industry. As the billionaire expands his grip on key sectors – from electric cars to social media – his unprecedented closeness with the SEC raises urgent concerns. Maxine Waters, an influential Democratic figure, sounds the alarm: Musk's privileged access to sensitive data from the financial agency could threaten market stability. Between conflicts of interest and systemic risk, the stakes go beyond mere corporate rivalries.
