The blockchain analysis company Bubblemaps revealed on Monday that over 30 million dollars worth of the memecoin MELANIA were transferred and sold discreetly, without any official communication from the project team.
The Sino-American economic war is flaring up again and dragging the yuan down with it. In response to Donald Trump's aggressive decision to impose drastic tariffs on Chinese products, Beijing is retaliating by intentionally allowing its currency to slide to its lowest levels since 2023. The unexpected consequence? A massive rush of Chinese investors towards bitcoin, which has become a lifeline in the face of uncertainty.
According to Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, China's reaction to the new American tariffs could trigger a massive capital flight towards bitcoin. This dynamic, which has already been observed in the past, could reignite the bullish trend of the crypto market in 2025.
Solana is deploying record volumes and seeing its TVL climb, but the price remains stuck below $130, held back by resistance. The crypto market is still waiting for the trigger for a rally.
Ethereum is wobbling, and the shadow of previous bear cycles resurfaces. In just three months, ETH has lost more than 65% of its value, bringing speculators and investors to a major psychological threshold: $1,000. This drop would not be a simple correction but an echo of the crashes of 2018 and 2022. As indicators slide into panic zones, the prospect of a definitive floor fuels both the hope of a rebound and the fear of prolonged capitulation.
The trade war orchestrated by Donald Trump has reached an unprecedented level, with record tariffs of 104% imposed on Chinese products. This sudden, almost surreal escalation has caught the crypto markets off guard, immediately plunging bitcoin into a downward spiral. But is this decline sustainable or merely a masked opportunity?
Michael Saylor, an emblematic figure of Bitcoin, has long wielded his strategy as a banner of absolute hodl. However, a recent filing with the SEC has begun to crack this narrative. The man who promised to bequeath his BTC to a dedicated foundation is now considering selling — at least under duress. A turnaround that raises questions: how far can one challenge financial and regulatory realities in the name of conviction?
The crypto landscape, shaken by adverse winds in recent weeks, is finally showing signs of resilience. As Bitcoin grazed $75,000 before bouncing back toward $80,000, altcoins like XRP and Dogecoin recorded gains of 10%, giving the market a breath of fresh air. This upswing comes as overall market capitalization returns to November levels, a time marked by Donald Trump's election. A technical rebound, massive liquidations, and a ripple effect among traders: decoding a relief that is as brutal as it is unexpected.
WLFI, whose partner is the Trump family, is testing its stablecoin with a USD1 airdrop. While this initiative attracts attention, it also raises concerns about regulation.
Tether, the leader of USDT, is preparing a new American stablecoin aimed at financial institutions. This strategic project emerges as Washington moves towards a regulatory framework for these dollar-backed digital currencies.
The crypto market is regaining its colors after the "Black Monday" on April 7, which led to over one billion dollars in liquidations within 24 hours. Currently, the global crypto market capitalization stands at 2.53 trillion dollars, up 3.08% in a day, signaling a possible return of investor confidence.
Bitcoin is catching everyone off guard. Amid a stock market collapse triggered by Trump's new tariffs, the cryptocurrency is showing unexpected resilience. While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are plummeting, and gold is struggling to reassure, BTC is gaining ground. This movement shakes up the certainties about its correlation with traditional markets and rekindles the debate: is Bitcoin establishing itself as a fully-fledged asset during systemic crises?

After five months of suspension, the memecoin creation platform Pump.fun is gradually reintroducing its live streaming feature. This relaunch is accompanied by new moderation measures and comes in a challenging context for the memecoin ecosystem.
After reaching a new historical record at the beginning of the year, bitcoin recorded a decline of over 15% in the first quarter of 2025. This situation is causing concern among many short-term investors who are leaving the market with significant losses, comparable to those observed during the FTX collapse.
Bitcoin, often regarded as a safe haven against the volatility of traditional markets, finds itself this week caught in a global storm fueled by trade tensions between the United States and the rest of the world. Following a series of economic shocks, some analysts do not hesitate to compare the current situation to a Black Monday 2.0. But is it really the end of the bull market for Bitcoin or just a simple correction phase? Here are five key points to remember this week to understand the challenges Bitcoin is facing.
The storm is hitting crypto. On the night of April 7, 2025, Bitcoin collapsed below the symbolic threshold of $75,000, hitting an intraday low of $74,637! In just 24 hours, the leading cryptocurrency lost more than 10%, triggering a shockwave across the entire market.
Decentralized exchange platforms are continuing their expansion in the crypto universe, challenging the supremacy of centralized players, despite a recent incident on Hyperliquid that resulted in a loss of several million dollars.
The amount of Ethereum available on exchanges has just dropped to its lowest level since 2016. A strong signal, as on-chain movements trigger growing interest among analysts looking for leading indicators. This scarcity on exchanges could signal an imminent imbalance between supply and demand, which could lay the groundwork for a potential tightening of availability in the market.
The FTX saga continues to shake the crypto ecosystem. Nearly 400,000 creditors of the now-bankrupt platform risk permanently losing their rights to refunds, estimated at over $2.5 billion. The cause: the failure to adhere to the mandatory identity verification process, the famous KYC (Know Your Customer).
The Ethereum network has reached a historic milestone with 200,000 addresses holding stablecoins. This record adoption stands as the backbone of a more mature digital economy, potentially reshuffling the cards for this altcoin whose price is struggling to take off.
While stock markets are experiencing a historic loss, Bitcoin is losing ground and has fallen below 80,000 dollars. This decline, far from being trivial, reignites the debate about its safe haven function. At a time when trade and political tensions are reshaping the global economy, the line between traditional assets and cryptocurrencies is blurring. A moment of truth is therefore approaching for BTC and for investors' allocation strategies.
The crypto market is experiencing one of its most violent crashes today. After resisting the Trump storm until now, it has finally given in! In just 60 minutes, over 200 million dollars have been liquidated, taking with them the hopes for a short-term rebound. As a result, the total market has fallen to 2.51 trillion dollars, showing a loss of more than 5% in less than 24 hours.
While instability dominates the crypto universe, Pi Network surprised everyone with a 50% surge in just 24 hours. This spectacular rebound, following a prolonged decline, rekindles interest in a project still seeking institutional recognition. However, behind the apparent enthusiasm, contradictory signals remain. Does this rebound mark the beginning of a solid recovery, or is it merely a temporary spike?
The crypto universe is anything but routine. This time, it's Conor McGregor, MMA icon and seasoned entrepreneur, shaking up the market with his memecoin "Real." Launched via a sealed auction—a first to avoid manipulation—this project combines crypto audacity with a formidable marketing strategy. Between revolutionary promises and analyst skepticism, "Real" raises a burning question: what if McGregor manages to change the game... for a fourth time?
When the crypto market succumbs to hype and spectacular narratives, fundamental signals get drowned out in the noise. However, it is precisely in these phases of disconnection between valuation and on-chain data that real dynamics take shape. Solana embodies this paradox today. Driven by metrics in sharp progression, yet underestimated by the market, the blockchain offers a very real potential that few seem willing to face.
As Bitcoin strengthens its dominant position in the markets, the Kaiko Research report upends expectations for 2025: forget the widespread altseason of the past, only a few carefully selected altcoins will stand out this year.
While the crypto market seeks new breath after a dynamic start to the year, XRP is sinking into a bearish spiral. Ripple's asset has already lost more than 35% since its peak in January, and technical indicators point to a possible worsening. An unfavorable chart setup could lead to an additional drop of 25% this month. In this climate of uncertainty, XRP appears to be one of the most fragile assets at the moment, exposed to increasing selling pressure and disengagement from major investors.
Behind the overwhelming losses of SHIB wallets, the infrastructure still roars. Between discouragement and rumors of resurgence, the ecosystem slowly burns, ready to reignite the speculative flames.
Experienced traders continue to show interest in memecoins despite the obvious signs of exhaustion in the speculative market for these particular cryptocurrencies.
