The president of the Russian central bank ridiculed herself by trying to rein in bitcoin.

Metaplanet, smelling a good deal, is offering 150 BTC at a discounted price. A bargain? A ticking time bomb? The future will decide.

In response to criticism and predictions regarding the emergence of a superior cryptocurrency, Anthony Pompliano, an investor and influential Bitcoin advocate, firmly maintains his position. This statement directly addresses claims made by Jason Calacanis, co-host of the All In podcast, who envisions the imminent arrival of a "better Bitcoin."

Is the bitcoin market entering a phase of prolonged retreat? This is the question that is stirring the crypto community after the shocking statement from Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant. Indeed, known for his precise on-chain analyses, he claimed on the social network X (formerly Twitter) that the bitcoin bull cycle is over. This radical shift in rhetoric is all the more surprising given that he asserted as recently as early March that the bull run was still in place, although slowed down.

Bitcoin is wobbling. In three months, a staggering drop of 30%: from $109,590 to $77,041. Bitfinex dissects this debacle. Behind the sawtooth charts, a narrative is woven: panic of small investors, desertion of institutions, and a grinding macroeconomy. But is this crisis a shipwreck or a wave to surf?

The crypto landscape is staggering. Exchange-traded products (ETPs), those much-admired investment vehicles, are facing an unprecedented hemorrhage. Since mid-February, 1.7 billion dollars have evaporated from crypto funds, according to CoinShares. A sequence of 17 consecutive days of outflows. Behind these brutal figures lie complex dynamics: increased mistrust, chain reactions, and surprising paradoxes.

When some dig, others pillage: while Bhutan mines Bitcoin, Lazarus steals it. A robbed Bybit, an inflated treasure, and Pyongyang becomes one of the kings of crypto loot.

Amid revolutionary announcements, technological evolutions, and regulatory turbulence, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove that it is both a territory of limitless innovations and a battleground of regulatory and economic challenges. Here is a summary of the most significant news from the past week surrounding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, Solana, and Ripple.

The crypto market starts this week under pressure, with a notable drop in Bitcoin and more! According to recent data, BTC has lost 2% in the last 24 hours, leading to a broader decline in the market, where major altcoins have crashed. What is happening? What does this week hold for us?

A crypto whale bet $368 million against bitcoin, already raking in $2 million in profits despite enormous risk ahead of crucial Fed decisions this week.

As the crypto market shows signs of consolidation, a recent analysis suggests that Bitcoin could reach $126,000 by June 2025. Currently, BTC is trading at the lower end of its historical seasonal range, but several indicators suggest a strong return of the bullish market and the achievement of a new ATH!

For several weeks now, bitcoin has been swaying. A drop of 22% from its historical peak at $109,000 in mid-January is fueling doubts. Is this the end of a four-year cycle, deeply embedded in the crypto market's DNA, or just a simple turbulence before a new surge? Analysts lean towards the latter option, but the nuances deserve to be explored.

Financial markets are wobbling, investors are worried, and cryptocurrencies are undergoing another unstable period. At the heart of this turmoil, one name keeps coming up: Donald Trump. According to several analysts and market observers, the American president is allegedly pursuing a strategy aimed at deliberately weakening financial markets in order to pressure the Federal Reserve (Fed) to lower interest rates. A hypothesis that, while dramatic, is based on public statements and concerning economic signals.

The crypto market is going through a turbulent period marked by a brutal correction of bitcoin and massive capital outflows. With a decline of over 18% from its historic peak of $106,000 in December 2024, some investors are already talking about the most painful cycle in bitcoin's history. However, for seasoned players in the industry, this scenario is nothing new. Even darker periods have marked the evolution of the crypto market, and many see this correction as a temporary adjustment rather than a lasting collapse.

Bitcoin, fueled by post-election euphoria, reached a peak of $108,000 before falling below $80,000. Global economic instability and rising trade tensions contribute to increased volatility. Despite pro-crypto rhetoric, Donald Trump is adopting a protectionist policy that worries investors. Amid fears of recession and monetary uncertainty, the crypto market wavers in the face of macroeconomic turmoil.

Bitcoin is currently showing signs of recovery after a period of high volatility. Despite a 30% drop from its historic peak in January, the queen of crypto seems to be finding some stability. Several key factors are emerging, suggesting a return of BTC to $90,000 in the coming days.

For decades, the US dollar has dominated international trade and has established itself as an essential global reserve. However, this absolute reign is now challenged by the BRICS bloc. As a result, geopolitical tensions and the rise of cryptocurrencies are pushing several countries to seek alternatives to the greenback. Bitcoin and stablecoins are emerging as instruments capable of circumventing the supremacy of the dollar, but paradoxically, they could also reinforce its influence.

The crypto market is buzzing, traders are accumulating, stablecoins are soaring. A prelude to a bullish party or the swan song before an unexpected crash? The riddle persists.

As gold shatters its historical records by nearing $3,000 an ounce, Bitcoin wavers. The Bitcoin/gold ratio, a symbolic pillar for twelve years, has just broken its upward trend. An alarming signal for crypto enthusiasts? Amid geopolitical tensions, aggressive trade policies, and contrasting ETF flows, the financial landscape is fracturing. Is the reign of "digital gold" threatened by the renewed shine of the precious metal?

Crypto ETFs are crashing down like an uncontrollable wave. Avalanche joins the dance, but history has taught us that markets sometimes have a short memory... and a brutal correction.

Bitcoin continues to challenge traditional financial markets and generates increasing interest among investors. For several years, it has been compared to gold, often presented as its digital equivalent. But this time, Tom Lee, influential analyst and co-founder of Fundstrat, goes further and claims that Bitcoin will become the best-performing asset.

A wind of dissent is blowing over Washington. A legislator is directly confronting Donald Trump's initiative to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. For him, this project is nothing visionary: it is more of a dubious maneuver, built on unstable ground where private interests and public funds intertwine.

A wave of panic is sweeping through the bitcoin market. In just six weeks, short-term investors have lost over 100 million dollars, caught in a brutal correction. Should this be seen as a worrying signal or a disguised opportunity for savvy investors?

The traditional financial industry and the crypto sector continue to intersect, and every move of Wall Street giants is scrutinized closely. Indeed, the announcement of BlackRock's return to the bitcoin (BTC) market with a $25 million investment has not gone unnoticed.

Moscow is stepping up now that Washington has embraced bitcoin. Soon a Russian strategic reserve?

Bitcoin is going through a period of indecision. After reaching a peak of $109,000 in January 2025, its price dropped to $84,290, marking a correction of 23%. Some analysts believe that the leading cryptocurrency could enter a new 8-month consolidation phase, a pattern similar to what was observed in 2024. This hypothesis is based on several technical indicators and the behavior of institutional investors.

A tiny device challenging the monsters of Bitcoin mining, a chance worthy of a miracle, and there is a solitary miner pocketing $260,000 under the astonished gaze of the industry.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have maintained over 95% of their invested capital, despite a slowdown in inflows and a recent significant drop in price. This resilience, comparable to that of traditional stock ETFs, reflects a change in the behavior of crypto investors.
