Ripple wants to become a banker, XRP attempts a spectacular comeback, and Wall Street applauds. The once rebellious crypto is settling into the plush chairs of regulators. How far will it go?
Under the pretext of stablecoins in Hong Kong, Beijing is moving its pieces. Crypto on the menu, control for dessert? JD and Ant are rolling out the digital carpet, but beware of the invisible strings.
Bitcoin could resume a strong northbound movement once US President Donald Trump approves the much-anticipated “Big Beautiful Bill” on Independence Day. Projections within crypto circles are already betting on the apex asset to test the $150,000 mark as Trump puts his signature on the massive spending proposal. Since BTC has often recorded double-digit rallies in weeks following the signing of such large spending packages, market participants are predicting a similar outcome to play out.
On the eve of July 4th, the U.S. Congress passed one of the most radical budget texts of the modern era. Championed by Donald Trump, this law reshapes America's economic priorities with massive tax cuts, social spending reductions, and a sharply rising debt. The vote, secured despite Republican fractures, marks a strategic turning point in the post-Biden era. More than just a budget, it is a political declaration that reshuffles the cards of power and reignites ideological tensions in Washington.
As the global geopolitical balance weakens, Rio will host a tense BRICS summit on July 6 and 7, 2025. Designed as a counterweight to the G7, the bloc struggles to embody the unity of the global South. Internal disagreements, Xi Jinping's absence, and Donald Trump's offensive comeback: the 17th edition illustrates less of a rise in power than a questioning of the strategic coherence among its members. In an era of multipolar ambitions, the BRICS are facing a crisis of legitimacy as much as a test of international credibility.
While the stock market progresses timidly, it is the dollar that falters, weakened by the dual pressure of the new trade taxes imposed by Donald Trump and the ongoing hesitation of the Federal Reserve. In this tense atmosphere, investors oscillate between the quest for yield and the caution dictated by the surrounding instability. The apparent calm conceals a palpable nervousness: that of a market that knows that everything can tip at the slightest jolt.
While Bitcoin mining now seems to be reserved for industrial giants equipped with powerful ASICs, an improbable feat challenges this logic. A solo miner, armed with only 2.3 PH/s, mined a block on his own via Solo CK, earning about $350,000. This almost impossible statistical achievement recalls the more open beginnings of the network. In an increasingly centralized ecosystem, this isolated victory revives the fundamental question: is the Bitcoin network still accessible to independents?
When the guru of Ethereum worries about his own creature, there is something fishy under Web3. Vitalik pulls out the tests… and his anti-glitter blockchain scalpel.
Web3 is facing a perfect storm of increasing threats. Phishing attacks have siphoned off more than $341 million in just 300 days, and the imminent arrival of the quantum computing era threatens to render current cryptographic protections obsolete. It is in this context that Naoris Protocol is positioned, developing the first decentralized post-quantum cybersecurity infrastructure designed for blockchain ecosystems.
