Bitcoin slipped to $107K despite ETF inflows, as global trade concerns, low activity, and whale wallet moves spooked investors.
Dreams are crumbling. The trajectory of Ethereum, once hailed, is dangerously wobbling. Just as a surge towards $3,000 seemed within reach, the tide is turning. Technical indicators are darkening, support levels are giving way, and the specter of a plunge into the abyss looms. Yet, at the same time, contrary signals are lighting up. Ether is falling, but funds are pouring in. A paradox that intrigues as much as it confounds.
Corporate Bitcoin treasury firms have become an emerging trend in the last few years, with companies like Strategy adopting an aggressive ownership approach. But some market experts have expressed concern over this capital reserve strategy, arguing that it lacks purpose and may not stand the test of time.
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.
As the entire planet holds its breath in the face of the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, the European Union is moving forward with determination. Where others hesitate, it legislates. Faced with tech giants and hesitant governments, Brussels waits for neither soft consensus nor external validation. Its strategy? Regulate first, innovate later. A risky bet, perhaps. But a bet that is embraced. And above all, a clear message: AI will not be a jungle in Europe.
The quantum threat is not for tomorrow morning, but recent breakthroughs suggest that the Bitcoin community made the right move to initiate major maneuvers.
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?
