In five days, spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $1.72 billion. A sharp drop shaking an already tense market, undermined by an extreme fear sentiment. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index confirms this persistent distrust, while cautious investors seem to be massively withdrawing their positions. This movement, more than a simple technical pullback, raises questions about the current confidence in bitcoin-related products.
GameStop moved all its treasury in bitcoin, that is 4,710 BTC valued at over 422 million dollars, to Coinbase Prime. This massive transfer, spotted by CryptoQuant, could signal an imminent sale. For a company that became a symbol of finance for individuals since the Reddit saga, this strategic shift is surprising. Indeed, GameStop had until now displayed a firm position on bitcoin, inherited from its dealings with Michael Saylor. Should this be seen as a discreet disavowal of the crypto bet?
Vitalik Buterin has just reminded us of something the crypto industry forgets too quickly: being open does not mean saying yes to everything. In a fairly broad interview, the Ethereum founder sets a clear limit. A community that applauds everything that drives the price up ends up shooting itself in the foot. Not immediately. But surely.
In a network where every line of code can become a manifesto, the slightest technical signal takes on the appearance of a political declaration. BIP 110, supported by a growing fraction of Bitcoin nodes, illustrates this internal tension. Behind this seemingly minor proposal lies a clear intention: to tighten control over data insertion into the blockchain and defend a stricter vision of the protocol.
While US markets showed mixed signals this Friday, another trend emerged on the sidelines of major indices: the strong rise of shares linked to bitcoin mining. This contrast with the Nasdaq’s dynamic and the Dow’s decline raises questions about a possible repositioning of investors towards crypto-correlated assets, ahead of key economic decisions. A careful reading of these movements reveals much more than a simple technical variation.
UBS Group AG is preparing a move that could bring crypto investing into its private banking business. Plans are taking shape to give selected high-net-worth clients access to digital assets, marking a shift in how the Swiss bank approaches the sector. The effort reflects growing client demand, ongoing regulatory review, and UBS’s wider push into blockchain-based finance.
A public reserve in Bitcoin without tax or debt? Kansas proposes a shock law that disrupts traditional financial codes.
In 2025, bitcoin was not content to be just a store of value. It established itself as a central tool in digital payments. According to a Coingate report, it dominates the market again with 22.1% of transactions, driven by increasing adoption by businesses. This renewed interest marks a strategic turning point. Crypto is no longer on the sidelines, it is now integrated into real economic flows.
Nasdaq has just pushed open a door that many still found "locked": that of position limits on options linked to spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. Behind the jargon, there is a simple idea: to stop treating crypto products as tolerated guests, and to bring them in through the main door of "classic" derivatives.
While gold breaks records and nears $5,000 an ounce, a part of the Bitcoin camp keeps hammering the same idea. The BTC market hasn’t really started yet.
At Davos 2026, AI establishes itself as the new playground for private equity giants. OpenAI and Anthropic show record valuations, fueled by investors' FOMO. But could this frenzy overshadow interest in crypto and bitcoin?
For years, the narrative has been well-oiled: Bitcoin as the ultimate reserve, the rest of the market playing more or less exotic satellites. Yet, some lines are starting to crack. According to crypto analyst and YouTuber FireHustle, the next wave of institutional adoption could well be built elsewhere. More precisely around Solana. A bold hypothesis, almost uncomfortable for maximalists, but deserving more than a shrug.
Billionaire investor Tim Draper predicts Bitcoin could reach 250K USD within six months, citing rising adoption and supportive policies.
“To the moon,” that’s what bitcoin fans have wanted recently. But for now, the stars belong to another celestial body: gold. The yellow metal is flying over the markets, leaving the crypto-sphere waiting. While crypto traders watch for a signal, traditional investors turn to the ultimate safe haven. Gold shines,…
Bitcoin just broke a key threshold below $90,000, reigniting doubts about the market's strength. Between massive profit-taking by long-term holders and liquidity inflows from whales, selling pressure intensifies. Buyers struggle to contain the drop amid this shock. The balance is fragile, as speculative appetite faces increasingly vulnerable technical supports.
The recent surge in activity on Ethereum might be less a sign of euphoria and more a malicious background noise. A security researcher, Andrey Sergeenkov, believes that part of this increase resembles an "address poisoning" campaign, a variant of dusting that takes advantage of transaction fees that have been very low since December. "Activity retention" nearly doubled in a month, around 8 million addresses, while daily transactions reached a record close to 2.9 million.
At Davos 2026, Scott Bessent reaffirms Trump’s Bitcoin vision: a strategic reserve to assert American crypto leadership. But behind this reaffirmation, doubt persists. Is it a show of strength or an admission of a lack of real progress in crypto innovation?
Bitcoin: Institutional accumulation explodes. Here are the figures confirming massive accumulation.
Bitcoin loses its feathers while gold parades at the top perch. Temporary panic or true metamorphosis of a crypto market finally learning to breathe under pressure?
Michael Saylor scores another breakthrough. His company Strategy now holds more than 700,000 BTC after a massive purchase of 22,305 bitcoins for 2.13 billion dollars. An unprecedented milestone that confirms the company's committed transformation into a true Bitcoin company. In a tense market, this move strengthens Saylor's influence and repositions Strategy as a central player in the crypto ecosystem.

After a sharp drop, Bitcoin stabilizes and shows signs of recovery. Technical analysis and key scenarios for BTC.
Bitcoin steadied after a sharp sell-off earlier this week, finding support near the $92,000 level as traders reassessed risk. Market watchers say exchange-traded fund inflows continue to support a positive long-term outlook, even as global political tensions keep volatility elevated. Recent price action suggests buyers remain active despite broader uncertainty.
Crypto funds attract capital again. With more than $2 billion injected in one week, the sector records an unprecedented influx, dominated by bitcoin-backed products. While traditional markets falter, institutional investors redirect their strategy towards cryptos. This renewed interest propels crypto ETPs to the forefront, acting as a strong recovery signal and a tactical repositioning amid economic uncertainties.
Bitcoin sneezes, traders panic, whales scoop up everything. A drop without a shiver, a washout of leveraged positions, and presto! the market regains its Olympian calm.
Why has the Bitcoin hashrate just fallen below the symbolic threshold of 1 zettahash per second? Are miners abandoning the network for more profitable AI (artificial intelligence)? A silent battle is redefining the future of mining and blockchain.
Bitcoin options open interest has overtaken futures for the first time, marking a shift in how risk is held across crypto markets. By mid-January, options open interest climbed to about $74.1 billion, edging above roughly $65.22 billion in futures. The change points to a market relying less on short-term directional trades and more on structured positions that manage risk and volatility over time.
Steak ’n Shake is positioning Bitcoin as both a customer payment option and a long-term treasury asset, signaling a deeper integration of cryptocurrency into its business model. The fast-food chain reported that its corporate Bitcoin holdings increased by $10 million in notional value, fueled by customer payments and rising same-store sales.
Announced as a historic breakthrough, the strategic Bitcoin reserve desired by the United States remains at a standstill today. Nearly a year after the decree signed by Donald Trump in March 2025, no BTC acquisition has been made. Legal blockages and persistent administrative confusion are the causes. Officially a priority, the project is stalling, giving way to growing criticism from the crypto community, disappointed by the lack of concrete actions and the absence of a clear government strategy.
While macroeconomic uncertainty weighs on traditional markets, bitcoin is once again establishing itself as a strategic asset for institutional investors. Spot Bitcoin ETFs are recording record inflows, reaching unprecedented levels for several months. This massive return of capital signals a clear repositioning of large portfolios, now more inclined to expose themselves through regulated vehicles. A change in tone that could mark a new phase of institutional adoption, but whose strength remains to be confirmed.
