In a few days, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, made a turn that is making the entire crypto sphere react. After selling several million dollars worth of Ether, he returned to the market... at a significantly higher price. An unexpected choice, in the middle of Ethereum’s bullish rally, which intrigues as much as it raises questions about his real motivations and the future of the market.

In Washington, crypto policy loses one of its most prominent faces. Bo Hines, propelled at the end of 2024 to the head of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, leaves his position after only a few months. A key figure in the system wanted by the Trump administration to make the United States a global blockchain hub, he moves to the private sector. His departure raises a central question: will the White House be able to maintain the momentum given to its crypto strategy?

The next weeks could decide the market's future, as bitcoin trades above 117,000 dollars. Indeed, legendary trader Peter Brandt warns that the crypto queen approaches a pivotal moment, possibly a temporary peak. With over ten years of post-halving cycle analysis, he cautions against a scenario that could surprise even seasoned investors. This alert comes as some experts doubt the relevance of bitcoin's historical cycle.

While the trade war intensifies, Beijing and Moscow show their determination. In July, their exchanges jumped to $19.14 billion, an annual record that contrasts with the gloom of the first half of the year.

Designed by Charles Edwards, this model is based on the energy power used by the network. The unprecedented gap it reveals revives the debate about the true valuation of the asset and the market's ability to close this gap in the coming months.

Against a backdrop of regulatory uncertainty, XRP stabilizes around $3 while two decisive fronts open up. In the United States, the imminent SEC decision on withdrawing its appeal could trigger a rally beyond key technical thresholds. In Asia, Japan and South Korea multiply favorable signals, from the Bitcoin/XRP ETF to institutional integration, offering unprecedented support. According to several analysts, this dual impetus could push Ripple's crypto up to $4.80.

Solana attracts an unprecedented wave of institutional capital, redefining its role on the crypto chessboard. According to CoinGecko data, publicly traded companies are injecting several hundred million dollars into SOL, methodically strengthening their presence. Far from a mere speculative movement, these massive purchases are integrated into long-term strategies, driven by volumes and accumulation methods rarely seen. This strong signal confirms Solana's growing place in institutional portfolios.

In an ecosystem already weakened by bitcoin volatility, the project based on mobile mining dangerously approaches its historic low.

While the bitcoin market seems stuck in a waiting phase, reserves are running low on OTC desks, those platforms where institutions buy without moving prices.

What if the next bullish shock was preparing... silently?

The U.S. Federal Reserve could initiate a major shift as early as September with a first reduction in its key rates. A scenario now considered by several large banks, including Goldman Sachs, which reshapes the outlook for financial markets.

After months of recovery, the bullish momentum of the bitcoin market is abruptly fading. All indicators, spot, derivatives, ETFs, turn red, revealing a drop in liquidity, a decline in risk appetite, and a general slowdown. The latest Glassnode report confirms a phase change: euphoria gives way to caution, in a fragile and unpredictable market context.

While the crypto market oscillates between economic uncertainties and renewed optimism, XRP finds itself once again at the center of attention. On the charts, a familiar pattern reappears, the same one that preceded a spectacular 70% surge last January. Is it a simple technical coincidence or the precursor to a new bullish rally? Signals are piling up, analysts are questioning, and the stakes are high: is XRP about to replay its explosive scenario?

While Tesla’s future is played out both on the stock market and in court, its board of directors has just granted Elon Musk 96 million shares, worth 29 billion dollars. This spectacular choice comes as the company goes through a turbulent period. Far from a simple bonus, this decision reveals a declared dependency on a leader who is as admired as he is controversial. Tesla bets on Musk, at all costs, at the risk of exacerbating tensions between individual power and collective interest.
