Diplômé de Sciences Po Toulouse et titulaire d'une certification consultant blockchain délivrée par Alyra, j'ai rejoint l'aventure Cointribune en 2019. Convaincu du potentiel de la blockchain pour transformer de nombreux secteurs de l'économie, j'ai pris l'engagement de sensibiliser et d'informer le grand public sur cet écosystème en constante évolution. Mon objectif est de permettre à chacun de mieux comprendre la blockchain et de saisir les opportunités qu'elle offre. Je m'efforce chaque jour de fournir une analyse objective de l'actualité, de décrypter les tendances du marché, de relayer les dernières innovations technologiques et de mettre en perspective les enjeux économiques et sociétaux de cette révolution en marche.
Despite the recent drop in the crypto market, Strategy continues its purchases. The American company acquired 220 BTC for $27.2 million, at an average price of $123,561 per unit. With more than 640,000 bitcoins in reserve, it confirms a continuous accumulation strategy, unique among institutional investors.
A trader operating on the decentralized platform Hyperliquid reportedly pocketed over 150 million dollars by betting against the market a few minutes before a major political announcement triggered a crypto crash. The operation, as spectacular as it is unsettling, revives suspicions of insider trading. A few days later, the same player opens a new short position of 160 million, fueling speculation about his identity and access to information.
Bitcoin is testing a major technical pattern that, in the past, has often marked the beginning of historic rallies. As the crypto attempts another golden cross, the crossover of the 50- and 200-day moving averages, eyes turn to the 110,000 dollar level. This key level could revive the market's bullish momentum if it holds. If it breaks, some analysts fear a sharp cycle reversal.
This Saturday, the body of Konstantin Ganich, an influential figure in the Ukrainian crypto scene, was found in a Lamborghini, amid the market collapse. The announcement, relayed on his official Telegram channels, immediately shook the community. This brutal tragedy reminds us that, behind the displayed profits and luxury cars, psychological pressures remain immense in a universe where every price drop can turn into a tragedy.
On October 10, a radical decision by Donald Trump, 100% tariffs on Chinese software, triggered an unprecedented storm. Within hours, bitcoin collapsed, more than 16 billion dollars evaporated, and 1.6 million traders liquidated positions.
On October 10, as markets plunged following a shock announcement from Washington on tariffs targeting China, over 200 billion dollars evaporated in a few hours. However, beyond volatility, it was Binance's behavior that crystallized tensions. The platform is accused of freezing accounts during the panic, preventing thousands of users from acting.
Russia is experiencing a quiet rush towards cryptos. Driven by Western sanctions, de-dollarization, and an uncertain economic climate, nearly 20 million Russians now hold these assets. Thus, crypto becomes a financial escape for the masses. Faced with this massive adoption, the government can no longer look away. A new monetary era is now emerging in Russia.
While central banks multiply gold purchases in an uncertain economic context, Deutsche Bank draws an unprecedented parallel with bitcoin. In a published report, the German bank highlights common dynamics between the two traditionally opposed assets. This analysis questions the place that bitcoin could hold in official reserves in the medium term.
This Friday, Donald Trump announced 100% tariffs on all Chinese products, in response to a commercial offensive from Beijing. The reaction was swift, as bitcoin dropped below 110,000 dollars, falling to 102,000 dollars on Binance, its worst performance since the end of June. The crypto market thus turned red in widespread panic.
Faced with the uncontrolled rise of private stablecoins, the global banking giants, from Goldman Sachs to Société Générale, are going on the offensive. By testing tokens backed by G7 currencies, these institutions aim to regain control of digital finance. This strategic project, led by the USDF consortium and the Provenance blockchain, seeks to combine monetary stability, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation. Such an initiative could redefine the balance between traditional banks, regulators, and the crypto ecosystem.
The speculative euphoria driving memecoins on the BNB Chain was abruptly interrupted. Within a few hours, several popular tokens saw their value plunge by more than 30%, causing a widespread retreat and cascading liquidations. This sudden correction, which occurred amid tension surrounding the launch of Meme Rush by Binance, caught part of the market off guard and rekindled questions about the long-term viability of these volatile assets.
Artificial intelligence no longer just assists humans but now threatens to replace them on a large scale. Senator Bernie Sanders warns that nearly 100 million American jobs could disappear within ten years. In an official video supported by a senate report, he accuses tech giants of sacrificing workers for the sake of automation. For him, inaction in the face of this artificial labor revolution risks sharply worsening social inequalities.
Bitcoin has just crossed 126,000 dollars, but the market remains surprisingly quiet. This ascent without frenzy, rare in a universe where spectacular rises often precede violent drops, intrigues analysts. Unlike usual cycles, the apparent calm of the metrics fuels both confidence and curiosity. Should we see in this the beginnings of a new paradigm for the flagship crypto asset?
The minutes of the Fed published on October 8 confirm an expected but delicate monetary shift. While the rate cut is now underway, the extent of the move by the end of the year still divides the committee. In a context of slowing employment, contained inflation, and government paralysis, this shift weighs heavily on market expectations. For crypto investors, sensitive to monetary policy signals, every Fed hesitation becomes a factor of volatility.
On the BNB Chain, a few days were enough to turn modest bets into lightning-fast fortunes. Driven by meme coins launched in a chain and propelled by social virality, a new speculative wave is shaking the ecosystem. Between dizzying returns and community excitement, the episode reveals both the excesses and the attractiveness of a network that has become the favorite playground of traders.
