On August 8, the hashrate reached a historic peak before declining sharply, a sign of a sudden adjustment in the computing power mobilized to secure the blockchain. This reversal, occurring while BTC still hovers near its annual highs, rekindles debates on the balance between technical performance and economic constraints for mining specialists.

The crypto market is experiencing a new breakthrough. Two listed companies have massively strengthened their bitcoin positions, confirming the rise of its institutional adoption. While BTC firmly holds the $118,000 mark, Metaplanet and Smarter Web Company sign spectacular purchases. This strong signal illustrates the growing confidence of businesses towards the asset, now seen as a strategic treasury pillar rather than a simple speculative bet.

Bitcoin could break 140,000 $ and Ethereum target 4,600 $. The signals are piling up and tension is rising in the crypto market. A crucial question arises: are we at the gates of a new all-time high?

2025 could mark one of the biggest crypto bull runs in history. Between record inflows into ETFs, favorable US regulation, and explosive technical signals, Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins are preparing for an unprecedented surge.

MARA Holdings, American Bitcoin mining giant, plans to acquire 64% of Exaion, a subsidiary of EDF specializing in data centers and artificial intelligence.

The rapid rise of quantum computing revives fears of massive bitcoin hacking. Indeed, Microsoft’s revelation of its Majorana 1 chip, potentially capable of reaching one million qubits, fueled speculation about the end of the inviolability of private keys. However, Graham Cooke, former Google executive and now CEO of Brava Labs, dismisses these concerns. According to him, bitcoin cryptography remains out of reach, even for the most advanced machines.

Bitcoin is touching its all-time highs and Strategy is seizing the opportunity to celebrate a milestone: five years of uninterrupted purchases. The global leader among publicly listed companies holding BTC, Michael Saylor's group commemorates the event with a much more modest acquisition than usual. A symbolic gesture that, in a market hypersensitive to decisions by institutional heavyweights, reignites the debate on the viability of a forced-accumulation strategy, even when prices are flirting with their records.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad', believes Bitcoin could dip to $90,000 this month, and he’s ready to take advantage of it.

Altcoins are no longer a fleeting bubble. Their presence is consolidating to the point of attracting the biggest names in traditional finance. BlackRock, a Wall Street giant, is now opening up to leading cryptos like ether. This institutional shift changes the game in the crypto ecosystem.

After reaching an unprecedented high of $123,000, bitcoin begins a clear slowdown. The euphoria of recent weeks gives way to a consolidation phase, where every market movement is closely scrutinized. The latest Institutional Insights report from CryptoQuant reveals tangible signs of exhaustion: momentum decline, liquidity slumps, and sustained profit taking. This cocktail places the flagship asset at a crucial moment, between technical pause and correction risk.

Bitcoin’s record-breaking rally above $123,000 in mid-July has given way to a choppy and uncertain phase. The price has slipped to $116,191 as of press time, showing minimal change over the past 24 hours but up 0.65% over the week.

The announcement sent shockwaves through the traditional finance world. Harvard's prestigious endowment fund, with 53.2 billion dollars, revealed it had invested 116 million dollars in BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF. While Harvard had already shown a timid interest in crypto in the past, this operation marks a symbolic step: the largest American university now officially backs the locomotive of the crypto market.

Turning a few tens of dollars invested in bitcoin into billions: the scenario is a dream. However, behind this simplistic equation, trader Techdev recalls a much less glamorous reality. In a viral post, he points out that achieving such a result would have required unwavering conviction and exceptional psychological resilience in the face of market shocks. A message that resonates as bitcoin has just crossed a new ATH above $123,000 on July 14, reigniting myths and speculation.

What if the next bullish shock was preparing... silently?
