Cryptos based on artificial intelligence, long perceived as a revolution in the sector, are currently facing a major crisis. At the beginning of December, their market capitalization reached an impressive peak of $70.4 billion, reflecting investors' enthusiasm for this new technological niche. However, within a few weeks, this valuation has dropped by 28%, now standing at $50.5 billion. This decline is explained both by a general downturn in the crypto markets and by declining interest from investors, hindered by the lack of concrete use cases for AI tokens. Such a correction, while critical for some, fits into a cycle where altcoins could soon regain popularity. Experts remain optimistic about a potential rebound of these assets in 2025, thanks to a more favorable expected environment, particularly with altcoin season.

In a global economic context marked by successive upheavals, few sectors manage to maintain enduring stability. Long perceived as an unsinkable fortress, luxury, the quintessential symbol of prosperity and exclusivity, also faltered in 2024. Indeed, the fortunes of emblematic figures such as Bernard Arnault, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, and François Pinault suffered colossal losses amounting to over 70 billion dollars combined. Such a decline finds its origins in a set of closely related factors: a slowing Chinese economy, national political tensions, and increased volatility in stock markets.

The US dollar is establishing itself as the leading currency of 2024, dominating the foreign exchange market without competition. While many global economies face challenges such as rapid inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, the greenback is showing its best performance in nearly a decade. This remarkable progress is based on several solid pillars: a robust US economy, attractive bond yields, and a monetary policy skillfully orchestrated by the Federal Reserve. Additionally, there is a global context characterized by the weakening of competing currencies, such as the yen and the euro, which are unable to compete with the supremacy of the dollar. This rise reflects the resilience of the United States but also highlights the economic fractures shaking the rest of the world.

The European Union stands on the brink of a historic change with the impending implementation of the MiCA regulation (Markets in Crypto-Assets), aimed at regulating cryptocurrencies and enhancing transparency in the market. Among the many implications of this regulation, the fate of the USDT stablecoin, issued by Tether, raises significant questions. This token, which holds a central position in crypto transactions worldwide, could be banned or restricted in Europe if authorities deem it does not meet MiCA's requirements. However, as the deadline of December 30, 2024 approaches, no clear directive has been communicated. This situation has led to varied responses among major exchange platforms. For instance, Coinbase has taken the lead by removing USDT from its European services and opts for a conservative approach in the face of regulatory uncertainties. Conversely, major players like Binance and Crypto.com keep the stablecoin accessible, as they bet on future clarifications. This climate of ambiguity reflects the scale of the challenges posed by implementing MiCA and highlights the need for a harmonized framework to avoid disrupting a rapidly growing sector.

China, long seen as the unwavering engine of the global economy, is currently undergoing a major crisis. Years of double-digit growth, which symbolized its rapid ascent, have given way to a period of deep economic uncertainties. The fragility of its economic model, primarily based on investment and exports, is becoming increasingly evident. Issues such as the rise of public and private debts, the collapse of the real estate sector, and the emergence of the specter of deflation are exacerbating internal economic tensions. These dysfunctions raise a fundamental question: after decades of development often described as miraculous, can the Middle Kingdom still sustain its role as a pillar of global growth?

After a period marked by intense fluctuations, Bitcoin seems ready to enter a new decisive phase. Recent data from Binance reveals a steady increase in purchase volumes, a strong signal that fuels hopes for an imminent rebound. This trend comes as the market digests the corrections that occurred after the historical peaks reached this year. In a context where investors' attention remains focused on key indicators, the latest developments confirm the growing interest in the flagship cryptocurrency, reinforcing the idea of an imminent recovery. While these numbers reflect increased buying pressure, they also fit into an economic landscape where signals of recovery alternate with the risks of future corrections. This setup makes Bitcoin a central player in discussions about the outlook for digital markets in 2025.

The real estate market is at the center of concerns in 2025, attracting attention from investors as much as from first-time buyers and economists. This evolution of mortgage rates, a true indicator of economic and financial health, plays a decisive role in this dynamic. Between 2023 and 2024, rates saw a significant decrease. Thus, they dropped from 4.5% to 3.23%, a change that illustrates both the effects of the European Central Bank’s flexible monetary policies and the banks' strategy to stimulate access to property ownership. This decline is not just a simple statistic. It has already increased the borrowing capacity of thousands of households, creating an unprecedented opportunity to revive an already fragile market. In a context marked by increased competition among financial institutions, this trend could intensify in 2025, potentially ushering in a new phase of growth for real estate.

Global trade is going through a period marked by increasing tensions, where diplomacy and economy intertwine in strategic rivalries. Indeed, China's opening of an anti-dumping investigation into European cognac imports signals a new front in the trade conflict with the European Union. This move, perceived as a direct response to European accusations against Chinese subsidies for electric vehicles, reflects an escalation of economic retaliations between two major powers. Such a case goes beyond a mere trade dispute. It raises fundamental questions about the balance of international exchanges and the role of institutions like the World Trade Organization in arbitrating these disputes in an increasingly complex rivalry context.
