Sam Altman puts OpenAI's AI back in the spotlight with a double signal: Codex gains autonomy, while "Goblin" emerges as a joke that has become almost strategic. Behind the humor, a real topic appears: OpenAI wants to make its models agents capable of acting, not just responding.

Is Bitcoin about to enter the largest bullish phase in its history? Raoul Pal, one of the most respected macro strategists in the industry, is convinced. According to him, the increasing pressure on global debt, massive liquidity injections, and the historic investment boom combine all conditions to trigger a true "supercycle" by the end of 2026.

XRP returns to the spotlight as bitcoin consolidates its dominance above $80,000. Behind this rebound around $2, a signal intrigues the markets. Institutional investors strengthen their positions while retail investors remain largely absent. Supported by the rise of XRP ETFs and a climate once again favorable to risky assets, Ripple's token seems to enter a new phase where speculation gradually gives way to more structured flows.

An old Bitcoin whale has just moved 500 BTC that had been immobile since 2013. At the time, this jackpot was worth about 457,000 dollars. Today, it weighs nearly 40.6 million dollars. This onchain movement recalls a simple reality: in Bitcoin, time can turn a forgotten address into a historical vault.

The crypto market finds a foothold after a more active week on dollar-indexed assets. According to Defillama data, stablecoins attracted well over 2 billion dollars in seven days. In this context, USDT maintains a central place, while several competitors progress at different rates. The sector now shows a total capitalization of 322.74 billion dollars.

Bitcoin keeps hitting records while Ethereum sinks into a weakness that is starting to seriously worry the market. In one year, ETH has lost more than 35% against BTC, despite the massive return of capital to cryptos. Behind this drop, several alarming signals emerge: increased selling pressure, rising ETH reserves on Binance and growing institutional dominance of bitcoin. This dynamic raises a central question on the market: Is Ethereum definitively losing its status as the leader of altcoins?

Michael Saylor changes the game again. After discussing a possible sale, Strategy seems already ready to buy more bitcoin. The crypto market did not take long to react.

The gravediggers of NFTs had already brought out the shovels and mocking tweets. Too bad: BAYC resurrects, CryptoPunks climbs, and some skeptics are now swallowing their digital stethoscope.

For years, the quantum threat has remained a distant scenario for bitcoin. This perception is wavering. A report from Project Eleven now estimates that the network might lack time to prepare its cryptographic transition before the arrival of quantum computers capable of breaking its current protections. Behind this alert lies a colossal issue: several million BTC could become vulnerable if the ecosystem fails to coordinate its migration in time. Such a prospect brutally revives the debate about bitcoin's future security.

The digital asset market is regaining strength, but the optimism displayed on social networks draws analysts' attention. According to Santiment, this euphoria can weaken the ongoing rise and open the way to a possible pullback of bitcoin to 75,000 dollars. In this contrasting climate, crypto sentiment serves as a barometer to measure the rally's strength and risks of short-term exhaustion.

BlackRock pushes further its offensive in tokenization. The American giant is preparing a reserve fund for stablecoins and an onchain share class linked to a 6.9 billion dollar money market fund. The message is clear: traditional finance now wants to occupy blockchain territory before crypto players lock up this market alone.

Elon Musk has chosen public confrontation with the French justice system. Targeted by an investigation over X and its artificial intelligence Grok, the American billionaire published insults in French directly aimed at the magistrates in charge of the case. Behind this new provocation lies a much bigger conflict between European authorities and digital platforms accused of algorithmic drifts, dissemination of illicit content, and political interference. Paris is now taking on one of the most powerful men in global tech.

While investors were watching bitcoin, Nasdaq and oil, a completely unlikely asset posted the best performance of the month. In April, derivatives related to potatoes soared by 705%, benefiting from market nervousness amid geopolitical tensions around Iran. This spectacular rise reveals a global phenomenon: in a climate dominated by global uncertainty, speculative capital is now moving far beyond crypto and technology.

Trump Media & Technology Group starts the year with pressured accounts. Despite nearly $900,000 in revenue, the parent company of Truth Social reports a net loss of $405.9 million in the first quarter. The net loss is largely due to the impact of crypto on Trump Media’s balance sheet, even though Bitcoin remains a pillar of its financial strategy. This discrepancy illustrates the direct impact of digital assets on its results.

In one week, Chainlink regained momentum in the crypto market. The LINK token rose by 15.27% and reached an intraday peak of $10.60, its highest level in over three months. This increase comes as reserves on exchange platforms decline and social media discussions increase significantly.

Millions of SHIB disappear from the market again. Within 24 hours, more than 6 million tokens have been sent to burn addresses, immediately reigniting speculation about the deflationary potential of the memecoin. While activity picks up on several major platforms, the Shiba Inu community continues to bet on scarcity to support investor interest. A strategy that is central to discussions in a crypto market always seeking new catalysts.

American spot Bitcoin ETFs have just recorded six consecutive weeks of net inflows. This is a first since August 2025. The signal is clear: institutional funds are returning, but the market remains tense around $80,000.

Europe does not want to let the stablecoin become the Trojan horse of the dollar in its digital payments. Christine Lagarde brought this issue back to the center of the debate, warning that the dominance of Tether and Circle could weaken European monetary sovereignty. The ECB does not reject the technology. It mainly refuses to import a model designed elsewhere.

While bitcoin captures the bulk of institutional flows, another asset quietly resurfaces in portfolios. ETFs backed by XRP have just recorded their first positive weekly inflow of May, reigniting speculation around a return of the Ripple token toward 2 dollars. Behind this renewed interest lies a global trend: the gradual return of institutional investors to altcoins through regulated financial products.

While bankers and regulators count their bolts, CZ is quietly preparing talkative machines fueled directly by global automated crypto payments, with Binance transformed into a giant algorithmic financial supermarket.

While Brussels knits regulatory barbed wire, Washington quietly restarts the crypto machine. Behind senator smiles, Coinbase, banks, and lobbyists are already moving their pieces like in a nuclear chess game.

AI enters a new phase of financial excess. The American startup Anthropic is preparing a fundraising that could propel its valuation towards 1,000 billion dollars. A perspective still unimaginable two years ago, but which reflects the explosion of demand around generative artificial intelligence models. Anthropic now wants to directly compete with OpenAI on the financial and technological power front. The company behind Claude plans to raise up to 50 billion dollars this summer. If the operation succeeds, its valuation could approach 900 billion dollars, with the symbolic trillion threshold now in sight.

Bitcoin shows a clear slowdown after several weeks of gains supported by institutional flows. American spot ETFs recorded $268 million of net outflows in one session, while liquidations accelerate in the derivatives markets. This renewed tension comes as investors are already watching another key factor: the future direction of the US Federal Reserve and its potential impact on the crypto market.

Long marginalized, privacy cryptos are regaining investors' attention. In one week, Zcash surged over 70%, driven by rising concerns around artificial intelligence, financial surveillance, and digital data control. Behind this spike, a shift in perception is emerging among investors. In an environment where every transaction can be traced, privacy is becoming a strategic issue for a growing part of the crypto ecosystem.

Tether has just reminded a reality often forgotten: USDT circulates quickly, but it can also be frozen abruptly. In one month, the issuer of the largest stablecoin on the market has frozen more than 514 million dollars on Ethereum and Tron, according to BlockSec data.

After five consecutive sessions of massive inflows, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have just undergone a sharp reversal. While Bitcoin fell back below $80,000 amid high volatility, institutional investors suddenly eased off. Is this a simple market pause or a sign of increased uncertainty?

Bullish projections are multiplying on bitcoin. Supported by flows to US spot ETFs and the return of institutional investors, the market now sees a target of 115,000 dollars before the end of the year. This anticipation is based on several technical and financial signals that fuel traders' optimism. One question now dominates the market: are current data enough to support a new acceleration of bitcoin?

Crypto exchanges are emptying their bitcoins at a pace rarely seen in two years. In less than three months, nearly 100,000 BTC have left Binance, OKX, and Gemini, amounting to over 8 billion dollars withdrawn from the market. While the available supply contracts, long-term investors quietly strengthen their positions. This combination of shrinking reserves and returning demand is beginning to fuel speculation around a possible supply shock on bitcoin.
