The ghost of 2017 is haunting speculators again. While some are betting on a comeback of XRP, comparisons with the last bull run are multiplying. However, the current market has little to do with that of yesterday. New dynamics, increased competition, divergent technical signals: does the analogy still hold? Behind the hope of a bullish rebound, a colder reading of the data tells a different story.

Cardano fans are sulking, whales are stirring, and ADA is bouncing back. Yet another crypto farce where the impatience of small holders fattens the big holders.

The United States has leaped to the second spot on the Chainalysis 2025 Global Adoption Index due to regulatory clarity and increased ETF adoption. India retained its leading position as the third consecutive global leader, and Pakistan, Vietnam, and Brazil were the top five. This ranking reflects a broader trend, crypto adoption is expanding rapidly in both mature markets with clearer rules and emerging economies where digital assets address real financial needs.

Bitcoin sulks, altcoins stir: 55% dominance and tokens lying in wait... But who will really take the pot by December?

Despite a major update to version 23 of its protocol, Pi Network struggles to spark market enthusiasm. In a sector where every innovation is scrutinized to revive bullish momentum, the announcement of technical advances inspired by Stellar Protocol 23 and the integration of new functionalities were not enough to boost its token price. This dissonance between technological progress and stock market inertia raises questions about the project's ability to convert its evolutions into real value.

Solana is about to change dimension. On September 2, the network massively validated Alpenglow, an ambitious overhaul of its consensus protocol. Much more than a technical optimization, this update marks a strategic break: offering performance worthy of traditional finance while maintaining the foundations of Web3. In an ecosystem where every millisecond counts, Solana wants to take a lead over the competition and establish itself as the reference infrastructure for decentralized markets.

Ethereum plays the tightrope walker: programmed drop, then theatrical rise. September trembles, October rejoices. Crypto traders? They might applaud... after getting trapped.

The market for tokenized gold has reached new all-time highs, crossing $2.57 billion in market cap, as spot gold itself approaches its April peak. The rally shows renewed demand for gold-backed crypto tokens as investors seek safe haven assets amid global uncertainty.

This Monday, the World Liberty Financial (WLFI) project, supported by the president and his close associates, proceeded with the unlocking of 24.6 billion tokens. An operation that values their stake at nearly 5 billion dollars. Presented as a technical launch, this initiative fuels suspicions about Trump’s growing influence in a sector he now helps shape.

Ethereum takes the prize for the big players, Bitcoin clings to its throne. A duel of numbers, egos and billions: who will emerge victorious from this digital waltz?

Solana has reached a decisive milestone with the massive approval of Alpenglow, an upgrade set to disrupt its operation. This decision paves the way for unprecedented acceleration of transactions, bringing the blockchain closer to the speeds of modern Internet infrastructure. Ecosystem players see this change as an opportunity to strengthen competitiveness against Ethereum and Bitcoin. Alpenglow thus marks the beginning of a new technological era for a network seeking to combine speed and reliability

August was marked by two opposing signals in the crypto market. Ethereum reached an unprecedented peak of activity, confirming the growing interest of investors in its ecosystem. Conversely, Bitcoin suffered a brutal shock after the massive liquidation of 24,000 BTC by a single actor. This contrast is not just a technical divergence. It illustrates an ongoing rearrangement, between regulatory innovations, strategic repositioning of players, and the evolution of the balance of power between major assets.

Trump, crypto and millions at stake: WLFI unlocks its tokens, promises of a jackpot or a new speculative prank? Investors oscillate between euphoria and suspicion.

Crypto ETF issuers are just waiting for the SEC to release its stamp. They move forward, file, correct, refine. Like a conductor confident in his score, Grayscale continues to play its own regulatory symphony. And this time, it is Cardano taking the stage, ready to secure its ticket to Wall Street. The countdown is on, the lines are moving, and investors are already sharpening their order books.

Shibarium collapses. In ten days, the daily transactions of the Shiba Inu layer 2 blockchain dropped from 4.8 million to less than 10,000, a fall of 99.8%. This is not a slowdown, but a brutal stop. Launched a year ago as the engine of the SHIB ecosystem, the network is facing a spectacular loss of momentum. In a lethargic crypto market at this end of August, this plunge raises questions about the real adoption of this project, which is nevertheless highly exposed in the media.

A $200M Dogecoin treasury is being planned, backed by House of Doge and chaired by Elon Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro.

The signals align on the altcoin market. While bitcoin and Ethereum take a pause, XRP and Dogecoin position themselves at the forefront of speculative bets. Raoul Pal, former Goldman Sachs and founder of Real Vision, mentions an imminent transition of the current cycle. In an analysis shared on X, he revives his concept of "Crypto Waiting Room" and points to a possible breakout from consolidation for these two assets. Investors, for their part, watch for the trigger signal.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) holds around $50 after a peak at $51.50, supported by speculative and institutional interest. BitGo's integration of HyperEVM strengthens its credibility, positioning the token among the most followed crypto projects.

21Shares aims to bring SEI to traditional investors with a proposed ETF, now filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Since the beginning of the year, Solana (SOL) is clearly lagging behind Ethereum (ETH), which has returned to its highest levels.

Dogecoin is once again at a critical stage, as its largest holders reduce their exposure, while market signals indicate further downside risk.
