Donald Trump's announcement on March 2 to include XRP in a U.S. strategic reserve alongside Solana and Cardano propelled the altcoin by +34% in 24 hours. A fleeting flash of glory: by the next day, the price retraced 50%, while on-chain data revealed a massive exit of institutional investors. Is crypto going through a classic pump and dump scenario amplified by politics, or does this pullback hide a discreet accumulation before a rebound?

DeFi protocols had promised a brighter future. The result? 500 million ETH evaporated, stunned investors, and a crypto market that wobbles like a tightrope walker without a net.

The wandering dog of crypto seeks refuge, torn between a heavenly ascent and an abyssal fall, as the market oracles whisper uncertain prophecies.

Crypto markets are often shaken by political announcements, but rarely with such intensity. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, unveiled an unprecedented project: the creation of a national strategic crypto reserve. Indeed, in an environment where the regulation of these assets in the United States remains a hot topic, this announcement triggered a spectacular surge in the market, with Bitcoin briefly surpassing $95,000. However, behind this frenzy, major uncertainties remain. The project still needs to pass through Congress, and some experts are questioning its real feasibility and lasting impact. Between hope and caution, the crypto community remains suspended over the evolution of this matter.

Financial markets often evolve in line with political decisions, and the crypto universe is no exception. This Sunday, Donald Trump rekindled investors' attention by announcing that his crypto reserve project would include several major assets, including XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Initially, bitcoin seemed absent from this list, raising doubts about the former president's stance on it. A quick adjustment then corrected this, as he stated that bitcoin and Ethereum would obviously be included. This turnaround triggered a surge of optimism and a price spike, but the enthusiasm was short-lived. Within less than 24 hours, the market reversed. The cause was the growing concerns about the tariffs that Trump plans to impose, which rekindles fears of economic instability.

Cryptocurrencies go through cycles of euphoria and doubt, where some projects disappear as quickly as they appeared. However, after six years of development, Pi Network has finally launched its native token, generating unprecedented enthusiasm among investors and market observers. Between promises of massive adoption and regulatory uncertainty, the asset today evolves in a volatile environment where every movement is closely scrutinized. While PI has recorded spectacular growth since its introduction, forecasts for March 2025 suggest a possible surge.

With a snap of the presidential fingers, XRP enters history. The SEC falters, Garlinghouse exults: a new era blows over crypto.

The crypto market is experiencing a spectacular surge following an unexpected announcement from U.S. President Donald Trump. With the formalization of the establishment of a strategic crypto reserve, a national fund aimed at holding several major cryptocurrencies, he has triggered a massive wave of buying in the market. Investor enthusiasm has pushed some assets to unprecedented levels in weeks, with Cardano (ADA), XRP, and Solana (SOL) leading the most significant gains. However, behind the market euphoria, this initiative also raises criticism and questions regarding its motivations and real implications.

The cryptocurrency market has just experienced one of the most spectacular increases in its history. In just four hours, more than $330 billion was injected, causing a shockwave throughout the entire sector. This sudden explosion of liquidity raises many questions: is it an institutional influx, a speculative event, or a paradigm shift in the economy? What are the implications for investors and the industry? While volatility remains the driving force of the crypto ecosystem, this episode could very well mark a major turning point.

The past few weeks have been tough for crypto investors. Indeed, they have been marked by a prolonged market downturn and a growing sense of distrust. Bitcoin, the engine of the sector, has nonetheless recorded a spectacular rebound. Thus, it surpassed $84,000 after having dropped to as low as $78,248. This turnaround raises an essential question: is this a true signal of recovery or just a brief surge before a new phase of turbulence? In the shadow of this rise, major altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP have experienced mixed performances. Some may take this opportunity to regain ground, while others remain under pressure.

"Binance, accused of pulling the strings of the grand crypto ball, defends itself. Meanwhile, Solana wavers, and investors search for a culprit. A twist of fate or mere panic?"

Solana is bonding like a cat escaping the downpour, but the storm of March 1st is approaching, ready to clip its wings.

A collective of financial analysts specializing in cryptocurrencies has published a study suggesting that XRP could reach the staggering value of 18,000 dollars. This prediction, which sparks as much enthusiasm as skepticism within the crypto community, deserves a thorough examination.

The crypto market is going through a turbulent phase. Indeed, Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has experienced a sharp decline of 20% in just three days, bringing its price to around $2,100. Such a sudden correction raises questions: is it merely a moment of volatility or a warning sign for investors? Between unfavorable macroeconomic factors and signs of resilience in the derivatives market, the future of ETH hangs in a fragile balance.

Amidst sordid scandals, Pump.fun devalues by 80% in February. The excitement of memecoins fades under the weight of disappointment, while confidence collapses inexorably.

The Avalanche Foundation, in collaboration with Rain, has just announced the launch of the Avalanche Card this Wednesday. This new card will allow users to spend their cryptocurrencies wherever Visa is accepted, with initial support for USDC, USDT, AVAX, and wAVAX.

Hamster Kombat has just unveiled its season 2 with the promise of being "more than just a game," simultaneously launching Hamster Network, its own layer 2 blockchain on The Open Network (TON). This strategic initiative aims to transform the gaming experience into a true decentralized entertainment ecosystem, as the project seeks to win back its users after a challenging period.

In light of the recent drop in the crypto market, Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, shows measured optimism. In an analysis published on February 25, he describes this decline as a mere "tactical retreat" rather than a fundamental shift in trend, reminding of the historical resilience of the sector.

The memecoin market has exploded in recent months, especially thanks to Pump.fun, a platform that has facilitated the creation and launch of tokens. After an initial enthusiasm and massive adoption, new challenges have emerged, including market saturation and the use of manipulation tactics by some developers. PumpRush.fun addresses these issues by launching its version 1 (V1), a powerful tool that offers complete transparency on transactions and tokens.

Altcoin ETFs are arriving, but the initial frenzy seems to dissipate quickly. Savvy investors prefer direct acquisition on platforms, far from these newly reinvented promises.

The next bull cycle will be unlike any other. Indeed, the era when all cryptocurrencies surged seems to be over. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, sounds the alarm: in the year 2025, the majority of altcoins could disappear. Only those capable of proving their economic viability and capturing the attention of institutional investors might survive. This prediction comes as 24% of the 200 largest cryptos have reached their lowest levels of the year. Is the market sorting through solid projects and the others? The prospects for crypto ETFs, the fundamentals of altcoins, and investment trends now seem to be the true arbiters of survival in this ultra-competitive sector.

The world of crypto is based on constantly evolving market dynamics, where the perception of risk and return shapes investors' decisions. While Bitcoin struggles to maintain its support levels, a key technical indicator on Ethereum rekindles traders' enthusiasm. According to analyst Doctor Profit, ETH shows an exceptional risk-reward ratio, reinforcing expectations of a massive rise in the coming months. Between technical analysis and investor accumulation, the asset may well find itself at a strategic turning point.

After two years of silence, the former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman, currently imprisoned, has made his return to social media. This unexpected appearance caused a spectacular rise in the price of the FTT cryptocurrency, rekindling investor interest despite the historic collapse of the platform.

The world of crypto is an arena where every major incident reshapes market dynamics. Indeed, the colossal hack of $1.4 billion suffered by Bybit, one of the largest centralized exchanges, raises an important question: Can Ether still surpass $3,000 despite this shock? This hacking, the largest in the history of crypto, comes at a time when the Ethereum market wavers between hope and uncertainty. Bybit reacted by buying back over 106,000 ETH to compensate for its losses. Such a situation has created buying pressure that could reverse the asset’s bearish trend. However, will this massive buyback be enough to turn the tide, or does the threat of massive liquidations risk annihilating this rebound?

Altcoins are gaining ground again, but this time, the scenario seems different. Historically, each altseason was triggered by a rotation of capital from Bitcoin to alternative cryptos, leading to a widespread market rally. However, according to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, this cycle may be mutating. He claims that the current dynamics are not based on a flight from Bitcoin's dominance, but rather on liquidity flows from stablecoins. An unprecedented situation that could redefine the trajectory of the crypto market.

The collapse of Shibarium hits Shiba Inu like a thunderclap: 96% fewer transactions, a wreck for the meme crypto, taking with it the hopes of investors.

Financial markets are full of analogies and historical models that analysts scrutinize closely to anticipate trends. In the crypto universe, the history of Bitcoin often serves as a compass for understanding the evolution of other major assets. Today, Ethereum seems to be following in the footsteps of BTC, replicating the patterns of its third cycle. This parallel fuels speculation: if history repeats itself, ETH could soon cross a decisive threshold.

Binance's BNB Chain blockchain is set to deploy a major update in mid-March 2025, called "Pascal", which will introduce native smart contract wallets. This technical evolution aims to enhance its compatibility with Ethereum and optimize transaction management.
