"While the dollar plays the tightrope and Trump brandishes his tariffs, Washington unveils a crypto-crutch: stablecoins, a techno remedy or a digital mirage of a wavering empire?"

Although Bitcoin is shaking up the markets and gradually establishing itself as a pillar of modern finance, it remains curiously discreet in the columns of major traditional media. In the second quarter of 2025, while crypto reached a new historical peak, its media presence was revealed to be meager.

When the crypto world dreams of physical anchoring, it sometimes gives birth to projects that are as bold as they are vague. The latest? An initiative from the TON Foundation aimed at offering a 10-year Golden Visa to Toncoin investors.
