As Bitcoin struggles to maintain its credibility in the face of distressed investors, the crypto market as a whole plunges into a worrisome spiral. The total capitalization reaches an unprecedented level since November 2021, revealing a multifaceted crisis.
In light of the recent drop in the crypto market, Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, shows measured optimism. In an analysis published on February 25, he describes this decline as a mere "tactical retreat" rather than a fundamental shift in trend, reminding of the historical resilience of the sector.
The memecoin market has exploded in recent months, especially thanks to Pump.fun, a platform that has facilitated the creation and launch of tokens. After an initial enthusiasm and massive adoption, new challenges have emerged, including market saturation and the use of manipulation tactics by some developers.

The Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market continues to experience a significant wave of capital outflows. According to recent data, the 11 Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $937.9 million on February 25, 2025, marking their sixth consecutive day of losses. This is a concerning situation according to experts.
Bitcoin wobbles below a critical threshold, and the pressure is intensifying. While the cryptocurrency had exceeded the $90,000 mark a few weeks ago, it now finds itself below $85,000, prompting analysts to consider a more pessimistic scenario. Between massive ETF sell-offs, cascading liquidations, and macroeconomic uncertainties, volatility is resurfacing, reigniting fears of a collapse to $81,000. Is the market on the verge of a harsh reversal, or is this just a temporary correction?
The next bull cycle will be unlike any other. Indeed, the era when all cryptocurrencies surged seems to be over. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, sounds the alarm: in the year 2025, the majority of altcoins could disappear. Only those capable of proving their economic viability and capturing the attention of institutional investors might survive. This prediction comes as 24% of the 200 largest cryptos have reached their lowest levels of the year. Is the market sorting through solid projects and the others? The prospects for crypto ETFs, the fundamentals of altcoins, and investment trends now seem to be the true arbiters of survival in this ultra-competitive sector.
Despite the recent price drop, the financial analysis firm Bernstein remains optimistic and maintains its ambitious forecast of $200,000 for bitcoin. Its analysts view this correction as a strategic buying opportunity ahead of the next cycle peak.

The world of crypto is based on constantly evolving market dynamics, where the perception of risk and return shapes investors' decisions. While Bitcoin struggles to maintain its support levels, a key technical indicator on Ethereum rekindles traders' enthusiasm. According to analyst Doctor Profit, ETH shows an exceptional risk-reward ratio, reinforcing expectations of a massive rise in the coming months. Between technical analysis and investor accumulation, the asset may well find itself at a strategic turning point.

As Bitcoin continues to capture the attention of markets, the latest data shows a stark contrast between network activity and its net capital. Daily transfer volume has fallen by 76%, while realized capitalization has surged by $160 billion in three months. A dynamic that raises questions: are we witnessing a critical slowdown or a strategic consolidation before a new bullish momentum? Since its last peak beyond $100,000, Bitcoin has struggled to maintain its momentum. The pressure is intensifying, and some analysts anticipate a possible drop below $90,000. However, despite a significant decline in activity, the influx of fresh capital and the resilience of long-term investors present an interesting counterpoint.
The week starts in the red—it's a bloodbath for crypto. Ethereum, Solana, and the market are plunging. Even Bitcoin isn't spared.

Cryptos are experiencing a new episode of brutal volatility, shaking a market already weakened by macroeconomic uncertainties. Solana is collapsing by 14%, XRP and Dogecoin are down more than 8%, while Bitcoin has dipped below $91,000. This movement, amplified by massive liquidations, raises questions about the resilience of these assets in the face of global economic pressures. Thus, the question now is whether this drop indicates a simple correction or the beginnings of a trend reversal.
Bitcoin is evolving in a context of uncertainty marked by economic fluctuations and contradictory signals in the financial markets. Amidst the resistance of safe-haven assets, low volatility, and macroeconomic expectations, investors are scrutinizing the upcoming market movements. Here are 5 elements that could be decisive for BTC this week.
The world of crypto is an arena where every major incident reshapes market dynamics. Indeed, the colossal hack of $1.4 billion suffered by Bybit, one of the largest centralized exchanges, raises an important question: Can Ether still surpass $3,000 despite this shock? This hacking, the largest in the history of crypto, comes at a time when the Ethereum market wavers between hope and uncertainty. Bybit reacted by buying back over 106,000 ETH to compensate for its losses. Such a situation has created buying pressure that could reverse the asset’s bearish trend. However, will this massive buyback be enough to turn the tide, or does the threat of massive liquidations risk annihilating this rebound?

After months of excitement, the frenzy surrounding the launch of tokens on Solana is slowing down significantly.

Bitcoin is evolving in an almost critical equilibrium zone.

Altcoins are gaining ground again, but this time, the scenario seems different. Historically, each altseason was triggered by a rotation of capital from Bitcoin to alternative cryptos, leading to a widespread market rally. However, according to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, this cycle may be mutating. He claims that the current dynamics are not based on a flight from Bitcoin's dominance, but rather on liquidity flows from stablecoins. An unprecedented situation that could redefine the trajectory of the crypto market.

Imagine the scene: Elon Musk, black sunglasses and a MAGA cap firmly on his head, wielding a red chainsaw under the applause of a conservative crowd. Behind him, Javier Milei, Argentine president and figure of ultraliberalism, wears a triumphant smile. On Thursday, February 20, 2025, at the CPAC in Washington, the symbol is violent, almost punk. The chainsaw, gifted by Milei to Musk, embodies much more than a media gadget. It summarizes a declared war against bureaucracy, waged by two iconoclasts determined to redefine the rules of power.
