Bitcoin miners could sign the equivalent of 150 billion dollars in contracts thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence. According to Bernstein, the global shortage of electricity and data centers is pushing AI giants to seek partners capable of quickly providing computing power. The infrastructures built for bitcoin are thus becoming strategic assets far beyond crypto.
Spot ETFs on bitcoin listed in the United States recorded 69 million dollars of net subscriptions on Wednesday, extending to seven sessions an uninterrupted series of capital inflows. This sequence brings the total flows to nearly one billion dollars, a sign of a measured return of institutional investors. Will the momentum hold up against the recent price decline?
The rapid advances of autonomous agents are reigniting the debate over the infrastructures that will support tomorrow's digital exchanges. In this context, Franklin Templeton believes that AI could transform the way payments and transactions are made. The asset manager considers that crypto will occupy a central place in this evolution thanks to blockchain networks. This analysis is based on the rise of agents able to act alone, make payments, and execute complex tasks after authorization from their user.
The euphoria around SpaceX gave way to a violent disillusionment. In a few weeks, the SPCX stock went from the status of the largest IPO in history to a correction that erased hundreds of billions of dollars in valuation. This drop not only affects shareholders. It also cuts Elon Musk's fortune and revives questions about the valuations of tech giants, several of which have made bitcoin a strategic asset on their balance sheets.
Gold rebounds after a 26% drop. Fund managers consider it undervalued for the first time since March 2023. Complete analysis.
The European Union takes a new step in its offensive against Russia. Member states have approved a new set of sanctions directly targeting crypto and Web3 services, previously considered alternatives to traditional banking restrictions.

A decision that marks a turning point in the use of financial diplomacy against cryptos.
The yen hit 163.23 to the dollar on July 21, 2026, its lowest level since December 1986. The slide of the Japanese currency revives the debate on cash erosion and Bitcoin scarcity. But does the comparison hold up to the facts?
Small holders abandon XRP, whales buy without hesitation. This unprecedented divide within the Ripple ecosystem reveals a massive token transfer between investors with opposite strategies. On-chain data shows that modest wallets capitulate under the effect of volatility, while the largest fortunes methodically strengthen their positions. This shift occurs as XRP has rebounded over 8% in five weeks and regained the $1.16 level. Such a signal could say much more about the market dynamics than just the price evolution.

Bitget has launched what it calls the first TradFi Quanto Perpetual Futures product, allowing traders to access non-USD stocks using USDT without currency conversion.

It is a sharper step toward blending crypto infrastructure with traditional financial markets.
Bitcoin is making a comeback, but it's not the same as before. The convergence of traditional finance and cryptocurrency is accelerated by Hyperliquid and Robinhood. Bitwise claims that this revolution will cause Bitcoin to soar. What if the next bull run has already begun?
For several months, financial markets have been evolving in a unique economic context for digital assets. Bitcoin continues to attract investors, but it now faces an environment marked by the rise of real bond yields. This situation changes the arbitrages between different asset classes and raises new questions about the continuation of the bull run. At the same time, flows towards spot ETFs and transformations in the exchange platform sector show that the cryptocurrency market is also continuing its maturation phase.
The Web3 sleep-tracking app has scrapped its original plan: a marketplace where users would have sold their biometric data to researchers. What replaced it is quieter and more technical. Sleepagotchi keeps no health data on its servers. Statistics are sent to the AI anonymously, processed, returned, then dropped. The project, which claims $6.5 million raised, has made that pipeline its central argument, and it lands in a sector that has spent a decade doing the exact opposite.
Europe concentrates more than two-thirds of block production on Solana, according to data released by Glassnode on July 22, 2026. Frankfurt dominates this geography and shows latency significantly lower than that of the US East Coast. Does this operational lead indicate a lasting regional dependency?
BitMEX will permanently close its doors on September 23, 2026, after eleven years of activity. The crypto platform, long associated with the rise of derivatives products and extreme leverage, now asks its users to close their positions and withdraw their assets.

Cathie Wood looks beyond SpaceX's 48% stock market loss to a financial and technological revolution. AI, Starlink, Bitcoin... Can her audacious wager alter the course of history?
Bitget has moved into the top tier of TradFi-linked crypto trading after generating nearly $70 billion in TradFi perpetual volume in Q2 2026. The TokenInsight report shows a clear shift: tokenized stocks, commodities and real-world assets are no longer side experiments for exchanges. They are becoming a serious battleground for liquidity, market share and product depth.
Ethereum reserves on exchange platforms continue to shrink, while an increasing portion of the supply remains locked in staking. This dual dynamic progressively tightens the liquidity available in the market and strengthens the scenario of a supply squeeze, a supply shock likely to impact price formation. While ETH tries to maintain around $1,900, on-chain data reveals a fundamental evolution that could redefine the balance between buyers and sellers in the coming weeks.
The digital asset market continues to mature with the arrival of new tools intended for institutional investors. In this context, S&P Dow Jones Indices and Pantera Capital unveil a benchmark index that favors projects generating real economic activity rather than the popularity of cryptocurrencies. This new approach aims to offer an analytical framework closer to the standards of traditional financial markets. It is also distinguished by a striking choice: the exclusion of bitcoin, whose operation does not meet the criteria retained by the two companies.
Tesla's quarterly results far exceed the automotive industry framework. With every release, investors and analysts scrutinize a strategic indicator: the group's bitcoin treasury. The second quarter accounts of the year confirm an assumed choice by Elon Musk: to keep all BTC holdings despite market volatility and its accounting effects. This status quo, far from trivial, sheds light on the growing role of bitcoin in the financial management of large companies and sends a signal closely followed by the entire crypto ecosystem.

Bitcoin has just crossed a symbolic threshold in the United States. According to the latest report from River, American individuals now hold more BTC than physical gold.

Driven by easier access to financial markets and a new generation of investors, this transformation reshapes how Americans conceive the preservation and transfer of their wealth.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs have just attracted about $930 million over six consecutive sessions. This streak, the longest since April, signals a cautious return of institutional capital towards BTC. The market remains fragile, but selling pressure is easing as Bitcoin tries to hold above $65,000.
For several years, the race for artificial intelligence has intensified among major technology companies. Investments are rapidly increasing and executives' expectations follow the same trajectory. Yet, budgets do not always suffice to speed up the development of new tools. At Meta, this reality is now openly acknowledged. During a recent internal meeting, Zuckerberg admitted that the company's advances remained below the pace he hoped for, despite a deep reorganization and record investments.
