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.
In a crypto market saturated with promises, Solana imposes its numerical reality. Long seen as an outsider, the blockchain has just surpassed several heavyweight players in the sector, showing a record TVL, significantly rising fees, and sustained DeFi adoption. While SOL surged by 24.8% between May 6 and May 10, on-chain indicators confirm a strong momentum, far beyond just market effects.
In a crypto market where volatility is the norm, Bitcoin has just reached an unexpected milestone. It is now less unstable than the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. This discreet yet significant shift, revealed by Galaxy Digital, challenges a decade of perception of an asset deemed too risky for traditional portfolios. More than just a technical indicator, this signal could mark a lasting status change for the first cryptocurrency.
On May 13, 2025, in Riyadh, Donald Trump signed a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia valued at 600 billion dollars. Beyond the amount, it is the nature of the alliance, encompassing defense, tech, and energy, that is striking. As Washington strengthens its foothold in the Middle East and Riyadh accelerates its post-oil transformation, this agreement redefines the power dynamics between two powers seeking global influence.
While Wall Street soars amid easing tensions between Washington and Beijing, Bitcoin has dropped below $102,400 on May 12. An unexpected decline that contrasts with the prevailing optimism and institutional momentum of recent weeks. Why hasn't BTC benefited from the market euphoria? With just hours before the release of the U.S. CPI, investors are questioning whether this is simply profit-taking or an early sign of deeper macroeconomic stress.
In the span of a few hours, the crypto market was hit by a brief correction. While bitcoin seemed firmly established above $100,000, a sudden reversal changed the trend, sweeping away the bullish momentum. Over $700 million in positions were liquidated, which brought BTC below $101,000. This rapid and unexpected drop destabilized investors, once again confirming the vulnerability of a market where confidence can shift in an instant.
As financial markets waver under the weight of monetary tensions and macroeconomic uncertainties, Bitcoin ETFs have reached a historic milestone with $40 billion in cumulative inflows. This symbolic threshold represents much more than just a record. It confirms the integration of Bitcoin into regulated portfolios and reveals a profound transformation in crypto investment. From now on, Bitcoin is establishing itself as a durable component of institutional financial architecture.
In a world where geopolitical fault lines are shifting rapidly, Saudi Arabia plays a delicate tune between two rival blocs. Solicited by the BRICS but still closely tied to the United States, Riyadh is biding its time, suspending its official membership despite signals of openness. While Beijing lures with its economic promises and Washington threatens with tariffs, the kingdom is preserving its options. Does this tactical ambiguity mask a pre-established strategic direction or is it preparing for a major rebalancing on the global chessboard?
As the Russo-Ukrainian war drags into its fourth year, a possible meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin in Istanbul could reshape the dynamics. For the first time in months, Kyiv is open to the idea of direct talks. Zelensky announced this Sunday, May 11, that he would await Putin on Thursday, May 15, in Istanbul. However, Ukraine sets a firm condition: no exchanges will take place without a total ceasefire, which is demanded from this Monday. This is a significant requirement in a conflict where every diplomatic gesture is closely scrutinized.
In the unpredictable world of cryptocurrencies, certain movements reveal a well-established logic. On the XRP network, the surge in activity, more than 4 million transactions in three days, intrigues analysts. It is neither a speculative surge nor a simple frenzy. Everything points to a methodical accumulation, probably orchestrated by large entities. And when the whales move, the market tends to follow. This sudden increase in volume could well signal a strategic shift to watch closely.
As the conflict in Ukraine reaches a critical juncture, Kyiv and its Western allies are proposing a comprehensive, unconditional ceasefire for 30 days. Supported by Washington and major European capitals, this initiative aims to create a pathway for negotiations. However, beyond the call for a truce, one question looms: will Moscow see this as a genuine hand extended or a tactical maneuver concealing a strategic advantage for Ukraine? The answer could reshape the balance of power diplomatically.
When a giant stumbles, the entire crypto ecosystem holds its breath. In April 2025, CoinGecko published an unfiltered snapshot of the centralized exchanges (CEX) market, revealing an unprecedented shift in the balance of power. While Binance remains at the top, its dominance is waning in the context of an accelerated reconfiguration of the players. The spectacular movements of Gate.io and Bitget, combined with a global contraction in volumes, raise questions about the future of the sector.
This month, a significant phenomenon is shaking the crypto market: XRP whales are back. The massive accumulation of tokens by these large investors, in the context of a strong rise in Bitcoin and Ethereum, reveals much more than just a market movement. This renewed interest in XRP could signal a new price dynamic, while redefining the perception of major market players regarding this long-underestimated cryptocurrency.
A flagship asset of the 21st century, bitcoin fascinates as much as it divides. While its price already defies traditional financial standards, some experts predict a surge towards one million dollars. Long considered marginal, these projections are now gaining traction in economic influence circles. Financial institutions, renowned investors, and regulatory figures are sketching a future where BTC could become an essential store of value in a world shaken by inflation, monetary distrust, and a rapidly accelerating institutional adoption.
Bitcoin is experiencing a spectacular surge, with over 344,000 new wallets created in just 48 hours. This explosion of adoption, fueled by the fear of missing out (FOMO), marks an unexpected return of a phenomenon often perceived as outdated. While the growing enthusiasm around BTC demonstrates renewed confidence, this dynamic also raises questions about the strength and sustainability of this rise, as well as its potential long-term repercussions.
The crypto market surged on May 8, 2025, driven by a spectacular rise in Ethereum. In just a few hours, the asset jumped 22% to surpass $2,200, triggering a strong reaction throughout the crypto ecosystem. This rapid surge is a reminder of the market's reactive power and reignites speculation around the world's second-largest cryptocurrency.
