Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, WalletConnect and the Ethereum Foundation want to close one of the most dangerous breaches in crypto: blind signing. Behind this cold term lies a simple gesture. The user validates a transaction without clearly understanding what it will trigger. The issue became impossible to ignore after the Bybit hack. In February 2025, the exchange acknowledged that an attacker had taken control of an Ether wallet and transferred about 1.5 billion dollars worth of assets to an unknown address. Reuters had then reported that only the Ether cold wallet was affected, according to Bybit CEO Ben Zhou.

World Liberty Financial and Justin Sun turn their conflict over the WLFI token into an open legal battle. The case goes beyond a simple disagreement between investors. It concerns reputation, governance, and trust in highly politicized crypto projects.
Bitcoin ralentit légèrement, mais le réseau ne casse pas. Le 1er mai 2026, sa difficulté de minage a reculé de 2,3 %, pendant que le hashrate repassait sous le seuil symbolique de 1 zettahash par seconde.
France has backed down on the mandatory declaration of self-hosted wallets, and this is a clear victory for Bitcoin defenders.

This provision sought to impose an annual declaration of digital asset wallets controlled directly by their users.
Bitcoin is back at the center of American political play. The White House is preparing an announcement on the strategic reserve desired by Donald Trump, while Congress seeks to turn this project into lasting law.
The Ethereum Foundation has just withdrawn more than 17,000 ETH from staking, a movement estimated around 40 million dollars. The gesture comes at the worst time for market confidence.
