Bitcoin shows a considerable lead of 85% over Ethereum in terms of realized capitalization, a sign of increased investor confidence in the world's leading cryptocurrency.
The crypto landscape, long compared to a digital Wild West, seems to finally be seeing the emergence of a semblance of regulatory mapping. The SEC, the historic guardian of American financial markets, has just sketched out a roadmap to clarify the application of securities laws to cryptos. Far from being a flash in the pan, this initiative aims to serve as a compass for industry players, oscillating between innovation and compliance. A deep dive into the intricacies of an evolving regulation.
The financial landscape is in turmoil. While Bitcoin, often criticized for its legendary volatility, goes through a phase of relative stability, the S&P 500 is surging like a speculative asset. Ironically, Wall Street's flagship index, a symbol of traditional finance, is now rivaling the unpredictability of memecoins. A role reversal that questions certainties and redraws the boundaries between risk and security.
A 638% imbalance between long and short liquidations on Bitcoin is shaking market benchmarks. According to CoinGlass, this unusual figure illustrates the fragility of leveraged positions and the excess optimism of investors.

Far from being a mere incident, this episode forces a reevaluation of the certainties and strategies that dominate the crypto ecosystem.

Long suppressed by regulations deemed hostile, the American crypto industry may be on the brink of a major turnaround. Indeed, Donald Trump's return to the White House is accompanied by a clear shift in direction: to make the United States a bastion of financial technologies. An unprecedented discourse is taking root at the top of the state, driven by a desire to break away from the Biden era. Behind the announcements, a strategy is taking shape, promising a new momentum for cryptos and a rehabilitation of the sector in the eyes of regulators.
The American markets experienced a spectacular turnaround this Wednesday, April 9, leading to a surge in bitcoin-related stocks. The cause: the 90-day pause on tariffs announced by President Donald Trump. A partial truce that excludes China but was enough to rekindle the appetite for crypto assets.
As the BRICS intensify their dedollarization strategy, Beijing and Moscow are taking an unprecedented step: using bitcoin to settle certain trade transactions.

This shift could herald a new monetary order in which cryptocurrencies redefine the levers of economic sovereignty.
Shiba Inu refuses to add a zero, resisting with the elegance of a vigilant doge. But without a jolt from big brother Bitcoin, the rally is still just a pious wish.
In just a matter of minutes, bitcoin crossed a symbolic threshold: $82,000. A meteoric rise, directly linked to Donald Trump's surprise announcement. The American president declared a 90-day truce on reciprocal tariffs with several countries while toughening his stance against China. The markets, thirsty for certainty, reacted in a cascade. But behind these spectacular figures lies a more complex reality: bitcoin, far from being just a speculative asset, is establishing itself as a barometer of geopolitical tensions.
In the face of the recent plunge of bitcoin below the $75,000 mark, Michael Saylor, president of MicroStrategy's strategy, needed just one word to reaffirm his position: "HODL." This emblematic term of the crypto community perfectly summarizes the businessman’s philosophy.
Bitcoin is facing increasing pressure since the resurgence of the trade war initiated by Donald Trump. While many hoped to see the asset detach from the influence of Wall Street, reality is catching up with the markets: the rise in U.S. bond yields is dampening initial enthusiasm.
The Sino-American economic war is flaring up again and dragging the yuan down with it. In response to Donald Trump's aggressive decision to impose drastic tariffs on Chinese products, Beijing is retaliating by intentionally allowing its currency to slide to its lowest levels since 2023. The unexpected consequence? A massive rush of Chinese investors towards bitcoin, which has become a lifeline in the face of uncertainty.
According to Arthur Hayes, founder of BitMEX, China's reaction to the new American tariffs could trigger a massive capital flight towards bitcoin. This dynamic, which has already been observed in the past, could reignite the bullish trend of the crypto market in 2025.
The trade war orchestrated by Donald Trump has reached an unprecedented level, with record tariffs of 104% imposed on Chinese products. This sudden, almost surreal escalation has caught the crypto markets off guard, immediately plunging bitcoin into a downward spiral. But is this decline sustainable or merely a masked opportunity?
Michael Saylor, an emblematic figure of Bitcoin, has long wielded his strategy as a banner of absolute hodl. However, a recent filing with the SEC has begun to crack this narrative. The man who promised to bequeath his BTC to a dedicated foundation is now considering selling — at least under duress. A turnaround that raises questions: how far can one challenge financial and regulatory realities in the name of conviction?
James Murphy is suing the U.S. government under a FOIA complaint, hoping to obtain documents regarding the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, following revelations from a DHS agent about a meeting in 2019.
The crypto market is regaining its colors after the "Black Monday" on April 7, which led to over one billion dollars in liquidations within 24 hours. Currently, the global crypto market capitalization stands at 2.53 trillion dollars, up 3.08% in a day, signaling a possible return of investor confidence.
Bitcoin is catching everyone off guard. Amid a stock market collapse triggered by Trump's new tariffs, the cryptocurrency is showing unexpected resilience. While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are plummeting, and gold is struggling to reassure, BTC is gaining ground. This movement shakes up the certainties about its correlation with traditional markets and rekindles the debate: is Bitcoin establishing itself as a fully-fledged asset during systemic crises?
1 Zettahash, a technical victory for Bitcoin, but a chilling economic blow for miners: a record power that hides compressed margins and falling prices.
After reaching a new historical record at the beginning of the year, bitcoin recorded a decline of over 15% in the first quarter of 2025. This situation is causing concern among many short-term investors who are leaving the market with significant losses, comparable to those observed during the FTX collapse.
Bitcoin, often regarded as a safe haven against the volatility of traditional markets, finds itself this week caught in a global storm fueled by trade tensions between the United States and the rest of the world. Following a series of economic shocks, some analysts do not hesitate to compare the current situation to a Black Monday 2.0. But is it really the end of the bull market for Bitcoin or just a simple correction phase? Here are five key points to remember this week to understand the challenges Bitcoin is facing.
The storm is hitting crypto. On the night of April 7, 2025, Bitcoin collapsed below the symbolic threshold of $75,000, hitting an intraday low of $74,637! In just 24 hours, the leading cryptocurrency lost more than 10%, triggering a shockwave across the entire market.
While stock markets are experiencing a historic loss, Bitcoin is losing ground and has fallen below 80,000 dollars. This decline, far from being trivial, reignites the debate about its safe haven function. At a time when trade and political tensions are reshaping the global economy, the line between traditional assets and cryptocurrencies is blurring. A moment of truth is therefore approaching for BTC and for investors' allocation strategies.
