Two entities from the crypto ecosystem, DefiLlama and the Web3 investment bank Forgd launch Universal Token Ratings, recently developed a ranking aimed at evaluating 128 tokens based on their market functioning and transparency. Uniswap is the only project to obtain the AAA rating, while 25 other cryptos received an AA. This system relies on the terminology of classical rating agencies but does not measure default risk. It mainly interprets liquidity, volumes, token unlocks, and the quality of information published by various projects.

During the recent market rally, altcoins accounted for nearly 65% of the volumes observed on the Binance exchange. This is their highest level in two years. Their cumulative valuation also increased by approximately 135 billion dollars. These data indicate that traders have increased their exposure to assets other than bitcoin and Ether. However, this is not enough to confirm an altseason, as the majority of large cryptos have not yet outperformed BTC over three months.

Disagreements between the United States and Iran suddenly take on a new dimension. Washington has launched its "economic D-Day" against Tehran, with a massive strengthening of secondary sanctions on international financial flows. This campaign by the U.S. administration now threatens liquidity circuits. Moreover, it puts pressure on actors using alternative transfer systems. Between sanctions, compliance constraints, and risks of financial disruptions, the crypto universe is directly exposed.

Solana has just shortened its block creation time to 350 milliseconds, a first step towards the ultimate goal of 200 milliseconds. Faster confirmations for crypto users, a clear roadmap... And as one signal never comes alone, SOL surged beyond 94 dollars.

Bitcoin flirts with $80,000 after a jump of $15,000 in just 48 hours. But the most interesting info is not the price: it is the greed of investors, rising faster and higher than ever this year. Warren Buffett would have advice to give. But no one seems to listen to him.

Solana has just risen back above $94 after briefly surpassing $100 on Friday. The SOL crypto even touched $102 before pulling back. The movement is impressive, but a good part of the activity comes from derivatives products. The open interest now reaches $5.81 billion. Many positions thus remain open.

Bitcoin at 100,000 dollars by the end of 2026? Standard Chartered admits that this figure could be too low. Between the ETF rally, short liquidations, and records in sight, the market seems to have already decided. What if the bank underestimated the crypto craze?

A targeted DAO. 1.2 million dollars at stake. And a Binance security team who spotted the threat before anyone else and acted in less than 48 hours… zero dollars lost! While BonkDAO and KelpDAO were counting their losses in recent months, Binance won the race.

September 15 is approaching for American crypto. The Senate must decide whether to advance the CLARITY Act, a text awaited for months by the industry. It will require 60 votes. Brian Armstrong believes the threshold remains achievable. And if Congress blocks it again, the SEC and CFTC are already preparing the next steps.

Memecoins continue to attract traders on Solana. Profits, much less so. Among the 304,161 active wallets over the past 90 days, only 19,003 show a positive result. That represents 6.25% of the traders followed. The median crypto trader loses 120 dollars. Even among the winners, large profits remain rare.

XRP is approaching a deadline that could put its market under pressure. A new wave of unlocking scheduled by Ripple is set to release a massive amount of tokens, while the price is already trading around a sensitive technical level. Behind the spectacular figure of this operation lies a more nuanced reality. Not all unlocked XRP necessarily join the market. Between genuinely available supply, risk of selling pressure, and price fragility, the coming weeks could become decisive for XRP.

BitMine Immersion Technologies scales up on Ethereum. By bringing its holdings to 4.8% of the global ETH supply, the company led by Tom Lee no longer limits itself to an accumulation strategy. It also strengthens its exposure to the very operation of the network through staking. This concentration now places its acquisitions and infrastructure at the heart of questions about available supply, staking yields, and Ethereum governance. Thus, this rise could have a lasting impact on the economic balance of the second largest crypto.

Crypto aims to become a means of payment like any other. In the eurozone, it is still far from it. In a large survey conducted by the European Central Bank (ECB), it is noted that, even in the case of sector development followed by the entry into force of the MiCA regulation, crypto payments remain marginal at the merchant level. Consumers are still attached to traditional payment channels while businesses show reluctance to take the plunge. This gap persists between the ambitions of the crypto industry and actual usage. Will European regulation be enough to shift the lines?

The American crypto industry is now invited to the heart of power. Donald Trump is set to convene key figures from this ecosystem, prediction markets, and artificial intelligence at the White House. This meeting highlights the growing attention Washington is paying to these strategic sectors. Behind this meeting also lies the future direction of American policy towards these assets. Who will attend this meeting and what decisions might result?

Coldcard lost 130 million dollars to hackers who knew where to look. But the real shocking figure lies elsewhere: 15 billion dollars in bitcoin fled in a rush to safer wallets. And according to Ledger, the attackers' secret weapon wasn't even new. It was AI.

The contraction of the crypto market no longer only affects investors. It now threatens the financial structure of the main trading platforms. eToro provided concrete evidence by publishing its quarterly results on August 11, 2026. Indeed, the decline in crypto trading volume contrasts with the increased interest in stocks and other more conventional investments. This transition forces the major FinTech company to quickly strengthen its diversification while revealing the new emerging power dynamics in the online brokerage field.

While ADA flirted with its recent highs, the large wallets quietly exited. Death cross, confirmed technical sell signal, and in the background a governance vote unlocking 120 million ADA at the worst possible time… Cardano ticks all the boxes of a market under pressure.

Meta no longer wants to reserve the power of artificial intelligence for states and tech giants. On August 10, 2026, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a manifesto, "The Future is for Everyone", which redefines the group's ambition: to place part of this computing power in the hands of individuals. Behind this announcement lies a strategic break with major consequences for the crypto ecosystem, where AI and decentralized networks now converge around a single issue: control of tomorrow's digital infrastructure.

OpenAI has just suspended the internal development of Astra, its future artificial intelligence model. Indeed, its capabilities in offensive cybersecurity and code generation have crossed a threshold that teams no longer consider controllable. For the digital ecosystem, this decision sounds like a warning. At a time when financial infrastructures, blockchain, and decentralized protocols rely on the reliability of code, the AI race now progresses faster than the measures meant to regulate it.

The euro collapses while the dollar sweeps the board. In barely two years, stablecoins have gone from 15% to 84% of crypto card spending, while the EURe languishes at 2%. Between rapid growth, opaque figures and an all-powerful dollar, this shift tells much more than a simple stablecoin war.

While volatility continues to dominate the crypto market, the largest investors follow a contrary path. According to the latest "Smart Money" report from CryptoQuant, the most influential wallets are massively accumulating bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, despite a climate marked by uncertainty. This buying strategy comes at a time when several valuation indicators return to levels historically associated with the ends of bear markets. Behind these movements lies a deep trend: an increasing concentration of assets in the hands of institutional investors.

The crypto market could lose its main political catalyst in the United States. A few days before the Senate's parliamentary recess, the adoption of the CLARITY Act is slipping away, reigniting fears of a regulatory vacuum. For Bernstein analysts, this deadlock risks triggering an immediate correction in bitcoin and altcoins. Behind this short-term threat, however, lies a more nuanced scenario, where a legislative setback today could still reshuffle the cards for the crypto industry in the coming months.

676 million dollars, a defunct exchange in Dubai, and Binance in disarray once more. Suspicious cryptocurrency flows between Iran, its central bank, and organizations associated with the Guardians of the Revolution are revealed by an investigation. OFAC and VARA become involved. Find out why this scandal has rekindled a contentious discussion about crypto compliance.

The slowdown in the crypto market does not indicate a drying up of capital. It reveals their redeployment. They now fuel another investment cycle. While bitcoin struggles to move away from 63,037 dollars, the giants of Tech and finance concentrate their capital on infrastructures related to artificial intelligence and energy, to the detriment of cryptos.

Cryptos are no longer a marginal bet in Canada. A new study by the Ontario Securities Commission reveals a marked acceleration in their adoption by investors, signaling a lasting shift in the country’s saving habits. This progression is accompanied by a paradox. Interest in cryptos grows faster than the understanding of their functioning and associated risks. Between the democratization of cryptos, increased regulator vigilance, and tightening of the federal framework, the Canadian market is entering a phase where every decision could reshape its future.

For years, the crypto industry has thrived on fundraising and the multiplication of projects. This mechanism now seems to be coming to an end. Capital is now concentrated on a limited number of players, while the most fragile initiatives are gradually disappearing. This redistribution of investments marks a turning point for the Web3 ecosystem. On the social network X, Lorenzo Valente, associate researcher at ARK Invest, believes the sector has entered what he describes as "the largest consolidation phase" in its history.

Binance.US is preparing a bold offensive on prediction markets. With a CFTC license in sight, BNB could explode... or collapse. All the keys to understand this risky strategy that could change everything for crypto.

American crypto regulation has just taken a new step. On July 28, Paul Atkins, chairman of the SEC, publicly supported the CLARITY Act, a bill intended to finally define the rules of the crypto market in the United States. This stance strengthens the chances of adopting a highly anticipated text by investors, platforms, and issuers. Now in the hands of the Senate, the bill could offer the country its first comprehensive supervisory framework for these assets.
