It reflects a waiting phase among institutional investors and questions the real forces currently supporting the asset.
A shadow continues to hang over the history of bitcoin. Since its beginnings, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has fueled investigations, hypotheses, and debates in the crypto world.

The film identifies Hal Finney and Len Sassaman as the two figures behind this pseudonym. Released Wednesday, it relies on four years of investigation, mixing testimonies, technical data, and biographical elements. Without providing definitive proof, the documentary builds a coherent scenario around a collective origin of BTC before its public disappearance.

This shift reveals a deeper change in the stablecoin hierarchy.
Crypto trading leaves traditional platforms to infiltrate daily uses. With the arrival of XRP on WhatsApp via the Solana ecosystem, a new gateway to DeFi opens, directly from a simple conversation.

But it is a change of tone that deserves to be taken seriously. For months, Ethereum moved forward with an invisible brake. Even when the price tried to recover, sellers still dominated derivatives. This imbalance is finally beginning to crack, and this is exactly what puts ETH back at the center of the crypto game.
The halving cycle, long considered the compass of the crypto market, shows signs of exhaustion.

Aave lost more than 6 billion dollars of deposits after the Kelp hack, and this is exactly what the crypto market is sanctioning today. The protocol was not hacked directly.
