The Bittensor TAO token soars 10% after the launch of the Grayscale Bittensor Trust (GTAO). Between halving and institutional adoption, this crypto linked to decentralized AI attracts investors. Why could this project revolutionize the market?

At the beginning of this year, a technical indicator draws attention: liquidation data on Bitcoin futures contracts reveal a marked imbalance. This signal, rarely observed at this level, suggests that a simple price movement could trigger a series of chain liquidations. For some analysts, this configuration could propel BTC towards 100,000 dollars.

Tether has just launched "Scudo", a tiny unit indexed to its tokenized gold XAUT. The ambition is summed up in one sentence: to make gold as manageable as Bitcoin. Not by changing the nature of the metal, but by changing its mental format.

Under regulatory pressure, MSCI makes a decisive choice. The index issuer announced on January 6 that it would maintain companies with significant crypto treasury in its global indices. A temporary decision, while the status of these companies, including Strategy, remained uncertain. This signal stabilizes their exposure in institutional portfolios and extends their integration into traditional markets, at a time when the gap between traditional finance and crypto continues to narrow.

A stablecoin backed by BlackRock, a crypto ecosystem in superapp mode… what if Jupiter was preparing the discreet invasion of the dollar into our decentralized wallets?

Telegram begins 2026 with mixed financial results. The messaging service records 870 million dollars in revenue in the first half of 2025 and targets 2 billion dollars for the year. However, these ambitions come with net losses and an unstable crypto environment. Between economic growth, the fall of Toncoin, and regulatory pressures, the platform is at a strategic crossroads, while an initial public offering is still under consideration.

Efforts to establish clear rules for the U.S. crypto market are likely to take longer than many industry participants expect. An analysis from TD Cowen indicates that while passage remains possible in the near term, political dynamics in Washington increase the likelihood of delays. Approval may not occur until 2027, with full implementation extending to 2029.

Bitcoin carries a persistent label: that of an energy sink. And like all labels, it sticks all the better because it avoids details. This weekend, Daniel Batten, an ESG researcher, put the file back on the table in a thread on X, with a rare bias in this debate: going back to data, and especially to peer-reviewed studies. Nine “classic” criticisms would, according to him, be out of step with what the figures show at the level of electrical networks.

Altcoins may be positioning for a rebound after months of subdued price performance. Market data indicates that many tokens are trading above key support levels established in October. Analysts say these signals could point to a renewed appetite for risk across the broader cryptocurrency market.

Grayscale reaches a historic milestone. For the first time in the United States, a crypto ETF will pay its investors income from Ethereum staking. This unprecedented move disrupts traditional finance codes and paves the way for a new generation of investment products combining cryptos and on-chain yield. In a context where regulation is being structured and innovation becomes a strategic lever, this decision propels Grayscale to the forefront of a rapidly evolving market.

Despite an accounting loss of $17.4 billion in Q4 2025, Strategy kicks off 2026 by purchasing 1,283 bitcoins for $116 million. As a global leader among institutional BTC holders, the company persists in its aggressive accumulation strategy, defying classic financial logic. This striking contrast between record loss and reaffirmed confidence raises the question: how far is Michael Saylor willing to push his bet on Bitcoin?

Bitcoin reaches 94,000 dollars, driven by the momentum of financial markets. The movement, clear and rapid, suggests a renewed confidence. However, fundamentals struggle to keep up. Volumes collapse, liquidity remains low. This rise intrigues as much as it reassures.

You don't need Bitcoin? You find it useless, abstract, speculative? Then you probably live in a functional rule of law. You can open an account. Receive your salary. Save without permission. Leave your country without losing your money. This comfort is not the norm. It is a historical exception. Only 11% of humans are born into a stable, democratic monetary system that protects property. The remaining 89% live elsewhere. In fragile, hyperinflationary, authoritarian, or arbitrary economies. For them, money is not a neutral tool. It is a filter. An identity test. A condition of obedience. Most economic discriminations are not moral. They are systemic. Bitcoin was not designed for speculation. It was born to operate without permission. Without identity. Without geography. This text proposes a simple thing: to look at Bitcoin not from the minority it enriches, but from the majority it protects from erasure.

Venezuela, plagued by record hyperinflation and an unprecedented political crisis, could well become the catalyst for a Bitcoin surge to $105,000 in a few days! Between massive adoption, economic sanctions, and political transition, crypto is establishing itself as the ultimate solution.

Venezuela, in the midst of a political crisis, sees María Corina Machado, Nobel laureate and pro-Bitcoin, emerge as a key figure of the transition. Could her commitment to cryptocurrencies redefine the country's economy and make it a model for nations in crisis? The future is now at stake.

The capitalization of memecoins jumped by more than 23% in early 2026, with a trading volume that almost quadrupled. In short, "hot" money is back, the kind that tests limits. According to data relayed around CoinMarketCap, the sector went from about $38 billion on December 29 to over $47.7 billion a week later, while volumes climbed towards $8.7 billion.

While crypto markets struggle to find direction, a key indicator has crossed a symbolic threshold: the Fear & Greed Index returns to the neutral zone for the first time since October. This reversal in investor sentiment follows months of extreme fear, marked by a violent crash and persistent volatility. In a still tense global climate, this signal could mark a psychological respite... but certainly not yet a recovery.

At the end of 2025, Ethereum didn't just finish the year well. It accelerated, then it broke the crypto counter. On December 29, 2025, the network validated 2.23 million transactions in a single day. A historic peak, supported by numbers.

Bitcoin has just crossed $91,000, driven by a wave of political instability in Venezuela. The arrest of Nicolás Maduro and Donald Trump's announcement that the United States intends to lead the country have revived speculation about the economic and energy future of the region. In a crypto market always hypersensitive to geopolitical tensions, this sharp price increase reflects both the ambient uncertainty and investors' appetite for decentralized assets.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracted 645.8 million dollars on January 2. In a still hesitant market, this volume is surprising. It marks the strongest day of inflows in over a month for Bitcoin products and an unprecedented peak since December for Ether. While 2025 ended on a decline, this surge is striking.

Is Bitcoin bored? Not really. Between wild OGs, voracious ETFs, and complicit regulations, the beast calms down... but could bite again where it's least expected.

In 2026, cryptocurrencies are the subject of rare optimism on social networks, according to Santiment. However, traditional indicators remain cautious. Why this gap? Between social euphoria and market reality, discover what this unexpected signal hides for the crypto market.

Ilya Lichtenstein, involved in the theft of approximately 119,756 BTC on Bitfinex, says he was released from prison earlier than expected thanks to the First Step Act, a law passed under Donald Trump. He spent just over a year behind bars, although he had been sentenced to five years.

BitMine stock jumped 14% after an announcement described as "spectacular" by its chairman, Tom Lee. Indeed, the company is seeking shareholder approval to significantly increase the number of authorized shares. This strategic move comes as BitMine strengthens its position on Ethereum, of which it holds 3.41% of the circulating supply. In a market where crypto treasuries are growing, this initiative marks a key step for one of the largest institutional holders of ETH.

Crypto markets are showing a notable shift, with major altcoins recording solid gains. Bitcoin’s share of the overall market has weakened and is now nearing 59%. Capital rotation toward higher-beta assets has followed, renewing discussion around a potential altcoin-led phase.

There are days when the crypto market looks less like a stock exchange and more like a playground. On Friday, memecoins reignited the traders' cheeks: in 24 hours, the sector regained about 3 billion dollars in capitalization. So, meme season or just a spark? The answer rarely fits in a single number. It is rather hidden in a mix of attention, leverage, and timing.

While bitcoin remains above $89,000 at the start of 2026, many analysts claim that whales are beginning a powerful accumulation movement. A signal perceived by some as the prelude to a new bull run. However, behind this optimistic reading, on-chain data tells a very different story. Far from a massive return of large holders, the current market dynamic seems driven by other actors, much more discreet… and probably more decisive for what comes next.

For the first time in over 400 days, a major technical support for XRP has broken. Under pressure below 2 dollars, Ripple's crypto operates in a critical zone. The market is holding its breath, as the bullish structure falters, and what follows depends on the next moves.
