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.
The computing power of the Bitcoin network has reached the threshold of 1 zettahash per second, its highest level in nearly seven months. This rebound strengthens the protocol's security, but it also signals a new increase in difficulty that could reduce the revenues of less competitive mining companies.
A study published by the Bank for International Settlements estimates that Bitcoin does not have the necessary architecture to become an everyday currency. Michael Saylor reaches a similar conclusion but advocates a different solution: keep BTC as capital and build credit products on top of this asset.
The rise in bond yields in the euro area revives the debate on the "vicious circle" linking the health of banks to that of states. European institutions hold 4,300 billion euros in sovereign debt, but their capital reserves are stronger than during the crisis of the 2010s.
The PHP project asks administrators to update their servers after the discovery of two vulnerabilities that can lead to remote code execution. The alert concerns a language very present on the Web, but the 70% figure mentioned in the press does not correspond to the number of sites actually vulnerable.
Solana replaced TowerBFT with Alpenglow on its mainnet on October 21, in its most significant consensus change since launch. The new protocol targets a finality close to 150 milliseconds, compared to about 12.8 seconds previously, but part of the planned architecture is still to be deployed.
Wintermute considers bitcoin as the main defensive asset of the crypto market in the face of altcoin decline and macroeconomic nervousness. However, this qualification remains relative: BTC has also fallen and is not a risk-free investment.
Leverage traders continue to bet on a bitcoin rebound despite weak spot purchases. This divergence could amplify a new drop below 80000 dollars, as many long positions would then be exposed to forced liquidations.
More than 6 billion XRP have been deposited on exchange platforms in the thirty days preceding October 19. This seven-month record signals a strong recovery in transfers, but it does not prove that holders have sold their tokens.
Anthropic wants to allocate 5% of its shares to a new fund intended to finance public interest projects, subject to shareholder approval. Elon Musk responded with another promise: to offer a SpaceX share to every American child as early as 2027.
Bitmine Immersion Technologies has purchased an additional 12535 ETH, raising its reserves to 6.04 million units. The company is thus approaching its goal of holding 5% of the Ether supply, while its chairman Tom Lee attributes the recent market drop to concerns related to artificial intelligence and the macroeconomic context.
Can bitcoin reach 100000 dollars before the end of 2026? Bitwise considers this scenario still possible thanks to institutional demand, while LO forecasts a price between 85000 and 95000 dollars in the face of the return of inflation and rate hike risks.
A trader engaged nearly 98 million dollars on a rise in bitcoin with a 40x leverage on Hyperliquid. At the time of the report published on October 18, a decrease of only 1.6% threatened to trigger the liquidation of this particularly risky position.
XRP is trying to hold the $1.30 threshold after several sessions of decline, while open interest on futures contracts remains below $3 billion. The decrease in leverage reduces the risk of cascading liquidations, but it does not yet confirm a sustained return of buyers.
Ethereum prepares to increase its gas limit from 60 to 200 million per block as part of the Glamsterdam upgrade. This increase represents a factor of 3.3, not 33, but it currently only applies to test networks, with no date set yet for the mainnet.
Nine crypto organizations have created the Quantum Alliance to define common standards for protecting blockchains against future quantum computers. The group estimates that 6.04 million BTC already have a visible public key, but these funds cannot be stolen with machines available today.
