Passionné par le Bitcoin, j'aime explorer les méandres de la blockchain et des cryptos et je partage mes découvertes avec la communauté. Mon rêve est de vivre dans un monde où la vie privée et la liberté financière sont garanties pour tous, et je crois fermement que Bitcoin est l'outil qui peut rendre cela possible.
In one year, real-world tokenized assets on Solana increased from around 700 million to 4.3 billion dollars, according to Castle Labs. The network thus narrows the gap with Ethereum and now represents 26% of its tokenized value, compared to only 4.5% a year earlier. However, this growth has paused since last month.
A slight increase in interest rates on bank deposits could slow the growth of stablecoins. This is the finding of a study by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which highlights competition between bank savings and these cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional currencies. However, the effect varies depending on the players: Circle's USDC appears more sensitive to this competition than Tether's USDT.
Charles Hoskinson believes that Cardano will be complete after the deployment of Leios. For the network founder, this upgrade must bring the processing capacity that the blockchain still lacks. But between technical ambitions and field reality, several steps remain to be taken.
Sending 200 dollars via networks using stablecoins costs about 2 dollars, compared to 12.72 dollars with traditional channels. This is according to the quarterly report from Borderless.xyz. In addition to reducing fees, these solutions speed up transfers: a few minutes are enough where banking circuits often take several days.
Bitcoin brushed $80,000 on Thursday before bouncing back above $82,000. While buyers managed to defend this key threshold, Glassnode notes a sign of fragility: buy orders supporting the price are becoming scarce below this symbolic level. A situation that deserves attention, as tensions over US inflation continue to weigh on markets.
American XRP ETFs continue to attract capital. After thirteen consecutive weeks of positive inflows, these funds are approaching $1.8 billion in cumulative net inflows. Meanwhile, Ripple is multiplying initiatives with two new agreements in international brokerage and South Korea. However, the XRP price remains under pressure.
Coinbase wants to prepare Bitcoin for the arrival of quantum computers without waiting for them to become a concrete threat. In a publication dated October 13, the platform emphasizes that modifying the network rules and supporting the migration of its ecosystem will take several years. It claims to hold nearly one million BTC, about 5% of existing bitcoins. Its document presents technical avenues, not a plan imposed on the network.
Polymarket still has not launched its own crypto-asset. However, its founder, Shayne Coplan, mentioned this possibility again during a conference in Singapore. Without date or concrete details, his words are enough to rekindle airdrop rumors, while the company is also considering going public.
Blur, long the leading NFT marketplace on Ethereum, announced on Monday the closure of its site for November 12. Monthly volumes dropped from about $1.43 billion at the peak in March 2023 to less than $7 million today, without the platform ever charging fees.
The founder of Avalanche believes that the crypto industry is too focused on a potential break of cryptography. According to him, artificial intelligence could first exploit the vulnerabilities already present in software and wallets.
The ranking of the top ten largest cryptos, excluding stablecoins, is evolving. Zcash, Monero and Hyperliquid are now entering the list, while Cardano and Chainlink are falling back. This reshuffle reflects a capital rotation towards more volatile assets, as several major cryptos go through a difficult period.
Spot ETFs backed by ether recorded $542.1 million in net outflows last week. This is their worst weekly performance since January. The trend is also continuing on Solana, whose ETFs have just ended fourteen consecutive weeks of net inflows.
Strive's SATA program reportedly generated about 55 million dollars this week, enough to buy nearly 638 bitcoins. But this financing capacity depends directly on the preferred stock price. From Wednesday, the stock fell below 100 dollars, preventing the company from continuing its issuances. A limit that recalls the risks of the Strategy-inspired model.
Deputies want to evolve the taxation of crypto-assets in France. On October 7 and 8, the Finance Committee of the National Assembly adopted several amendments to the 2027 budget. On the agenda: taxing conversions into stablecoins, extending the exit tax to unrealized capital gains, and allowing the deferral of crypto losses.
The tokenization of financial assets promises faster transactions and markets open 24 hours a day. Yet, the sector remains limited. In its latest report, the IMF highlights that volumes remain low compared to traditional markets and that platforms struggle to communicate with each other.
