The most used DeFi protocol in the world is going through an unprecedented turbulence zone. The deployment of Aave V4 on Ethereum, presented as a major breakthrough for the crypto ecosystem, has instead opened deep fractures within its own organization. Between dramatic departures, catastrophic transaction and governance war, Aave is currently playing one of the most delicate parts of its history.

The Bitcoin market is changing its face. This time, the driving force does not come from a simple speculative rally, but from the rising power of publicly traded companies accumulating BTC in their treasury. According to Adam Back, this group could soon absorb up to ten times the newly mined daily supply. The idea may seem extreme. However, it is based on a mechanism already visible in the market.

While stock markets waver under the impact of geopolitical tensions, bitcoin follows an opposite trajectory. The leading crypto shows a strong weekly performance, surpassing stock indices in a climate of global uncertainty. This divergence once again attracts the attention of institutional investors. Thus, Michael Saylor's company Strategy could have a financial leverage of 776 million dollars to strengthen its BTC purchases. Between strategic accumulation and a tense macroeconomic context, several signals suggest that bitcoin could enter a new market phase.

The interest of institutional investors in cryptos continues to grow, but not all assets enjoy the same enthusiasm. As crypto ETFs multiply, the strategies of traditional finance giants offer valuable insight into market priorities. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has just provided a clear answer: for the vast majority of investors, two assets dominate flows. According to the company, most demand for crypto ETFs is now concentrated on bitcoin and Ethereum, while other cryptos remain largely behind.

American spot Bitcoin ETFs have just sent a signal that the market had been waiting for several weeks. For the first time in 2026, they have recorded five consecutive sessions of net inflows. During this sequence, about $767 million were absorbed by these products, marking a visible return of institutional demand for bitcoin.

On-chain data suggests a possible bullish move for Ethereum. Investor accumulation analysis reveals a low resistance area that could pave the way to 2,800 dollars if certain technical levels are breached. This setup is based on the purchase price distribution of ETH holders. Yet, derivative markets send a more cautious signal. Between accumulation momentum and trader hesitation, Ethereum is entering a decisive phase of its market cycle.

Bitcoin does not necessarily lack strength. What it mainly lacks is a clear signal. According to Glassnode, this signal comes from a simple yet incredibly useful indicator: the share of bitcoins held by short-term investors still in profit. As long as this gauge remains below 50%, the idea of a sustained rebound remains fragile.

The duel between the two largest stablecoins in the market has just taken an unexpected turn. According to a report from investment bank Mizuho, Circle's USDC has surpassed Tether's USDT in adjusted volume since the start of the year, a key indicator for measuring the actual usage of these currencies. This shift does not yet challenge Tether's dominance in capitalization, but it reveals an evolution in how these assets are used. The stablecoin market is now divided between financial power and actual usage.

Automated trading by artificial intelligence is booming. But it carries a well-known Achilles' heel: private key security. Two giants in the crypto sector have partnered to address this, and their solution could redefine industry standards.

The crypto market is regaining color, and it is the tokens linked to artificial intelligence that are leading the dance. In 24 hours, the AI sector jumped 5 %, raising its total capitalization to 15.1 billion dollars. A recovery that is no coincidence.

While AI is desperately looking for energy solutions, Bitcoin mining has already found its own: nuclear. As early as 2021, miners secured partnerships with power plants, creating a model that AI is now trying to replicate.

Geopolitical crises have often caused violent shocks in financial markets. This time, bitcoin seems to be withstanding the impact. As international tensions around Iran fuel global uncertainty, the leading crypto surprises with its resilience. BTC has risen back above 72,000 dollars, a threshold closely watched by traders. For several analysts, this reaction could mark a key moment. Beyond the simple rebound, bitcoin's behavior in the face of geopolitical turbulence could transform how investors perceive its role in the global economy.

The memecoin $TRUMP attracts attention after the announcement of an exclusive event at Mar-a-Lago reserved for top token holders. The announcement briefly boosted the token price before a quick correction, illustrating the volatility of political memecoins.

Activity in the derivatives markets around XRP is experiencing a brutal acceleration. Demand for these instruments has jumped 803%, signaling a marked return of buyers to the asset.

In this context, the current evolution draws the attention of traders, who now monitor XRP to anticipate the next market moves.

The US midterm elections could well provide a new breath to the crypto and stock markets, and give wings back to bitcoin. This is at least what Binance Research states in a report published this week. However, before reaching that point, the path remains littered with geopolitical pitfalls.

Bitcoin is again moving within an uncertainty zone around 70,000 dollars. Behind this apparent stability, markets watch a key factor: U.S. monetary policy. The latest economic data released in the United States have cooled expectations of a rapid rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Thus, the probabilities of easing as early as March have almost evaporated. In this context, the crypto market enters a wait-and-see phase. Between macroeconomic signals and key technical levels, analysts now try to anticipate Bitcoin's next direction.

Tether has restarted the engine. The issuer of the market's first stablecoin created 1 billion dollars in USDT on Tron, a move that brings the crypto liquidity issue back to the center of the game at a time when geopolitical tensions are already shaking global markets.

The debate about the future of money has reignited, and it's Nassim Taleb who lit the fuse.

For him, this project exactly illustrates what finance should encourage: competition between private currencies.

Sam Bankman-Fried faces another setback in the United States. Federal prosecutors ask the judge to reject his new trial request, arguing that the elements presented by the former FTX boss do not meet the required legal criteria.

Between regulatory ambition on the horizon 2028 and an accumulation strategy still intact, Metaplanet broadens its plan to establish itself at the heart of the future Japanese crypto market.

The scenario seems huge. However, Bitwise argues that a bitcoin at 1 million dollars does not necessarily imply total dominance over gold.

Arthur Hayes surprises the bitcoin market. One of his loudest supporters now explains that he wouldn't place 1 dollar on BTC at the current price. His idea is not a rejection of bitcoin. It's a strategic waiting. For him, the real buy signal will mainly come from a return of global liquidity, with a more accommodative Fed and, above all, a resumption of money printing.
