Binance, the world leader in cryptocurrencies, is at the center of a political scandal. 11 U.S. senators demand a federal investigation into suspicious transactions linked to Iran. With $1.7 billion at stake, the crypto exchange faces historic sanctions.
In just 3 years, Tether has frozen 4.2 billion dollars of USDT tokens linked to illicit activities, establishing itself as a key player in the fight against financial crime in the crypto ecosystem. While some see this as progress against cybercrime, others fear a much more frightening danger.
The crypto market shakes, but investors act. Despite an "Extreme Fear" index and record Bitcoin ETF withdrawals, Robinhood reveals a surprise trend: diversification is exploding. Bitcoin and Ethereum are no longer enough. Which cryptos and strategies dominate the market?
The post-election rally in the US was short-lived. Less than a year after the November 2024 presidential election, the crypto market has erased almost all the gains accumulated in its wake. Driven by a spectacular surge in altcoins, the sector peaked in October 2025 before sharply giving up ground. Since this peak, capitalization has fallen by about 40%, ending a bullish momentum that seemed firmly established. The electoral cycle ultimately did not fulfill its promises.
Donald Trump raises tariffs to 15%. The decision, announced in a tense electoral atmosphere, revives the American protectionist line and puts trade policy back at the center of the economic debate.

The Dollar reaches new heights and crushes the crypto market along the way. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP collapse despite a rising tech market. Why does this Dollar pressure stifle digital assets?
Warning signals are multiplying around Solana. While SOL struggles to stabilize above a key technical threshold, derivatives market data show a clear retreat of bullish positions. Meanwhile, on-chain activity is slowing down and network revenues are eroding. As the 80 dollar level, now closely watched by investors, approaches, the question is no longer about a simple technical rebound, but about the very solidity of market support.
Tuesday, February 17, 2026, eToro (ETOR) stock closed up about 20%, supported by better-than-expected quarterly results and the still central weight of crypto in its model.

A key valuation indicator today places bitcoin at an unprecedented level since March 2023, a period when BTC traded around 20,000 dollars.

In Washington, the regulatory future of cryptos may be decided in the coming months. Amid market volatility, the CLARITY Act stands as a pivotal text for the American crypto industry.

Bitcoin nears $66,500, and short positions reach unprecedented highs since 2024. Could this extreme pessimism, often a sign of a reversal, trigger a rapid rebound?
Did bitcoin really hit the bottom at $60,000? Michael Terpin, CEO of Transform Ventures, warns of a new drop to $40,000 before a sustainable recovery. Between historical cycles and market fragility, his analysis divides experts.

This discrepancy between market psychology and real flows raises a central question: are we witnessing a simple technical lull or the beginnings of a lasting rebalancing?
The boundary between traditional and decentralized finance continues to erode. This time, it is BlackRock that is shifting the lines. The global asset management giant has connected its tokenized fund BUIDL, backed by US Treasury bonds, to the Uniswap infrastructure. An initiative that goes beyond simple technological experimentation, as it materializes the entry of a major institutional player onto the operational rails of DeFi.
In just 24 hours, the Bitcoin market wiped out more than 250 million dollars of positions, catching thousands of traders off guard. Why this brutal purge? What signals should be watched to avoid getting trapped?
For the first time since 2022, bitcoin is sending a bottom signal, a rare technical indicator that could mark a historic turning point. With critical price levels to watch and varied scenarios, investors wonder: is it time to buy?

While market attention is focused on every move of the Federal Reserve, a subtle adjustment is emerging. Economist Lyn Alden mentions the Fed entering "gradual print" mode: a progressive monetary creation, calibrated to nominal GDP growth.
