Dollar

The dollar, the cornerstone of the global financial system, once again finds itself at the heart of a geopolitical controversy. Donald Trump accuses the BRICS of wanting to undermine its supremacy. In response, the Kremlin firmly denies any intention of destabilization, stating that the alliance does not target any foreign currency. Behind this tense exchange, one question remains: are the BRICS quietly working to reshape the global monetary order, or is this an alarmist reading of the ambitions of this emerging bloc?

Stablecoins continue to dominate blockchain activity, with Ethereum remaining at the center of this growth. Recent data shows stablecoin transactions on Ethereum hitting record highs, highlighting rising adoption and the network’s expanding role as a global settlement layer. Despite short-term price volatility, network fundamentals remain strong.

On the brink of a total shutdown, Washington shakes global markets. This Monday, September 29, the budget deadlock in the US Congress revives the specter of a shutdown as early as Wednesday, plunging investors and institutions into uncertainty. In an already uncertain climate, marked by central bank hesitations and the fragility of US indicators, this political stalemate raises fears of a major loss of visibility. Investors are repositioning urgently, between a flight to safe havens and anticipation of macroeconomic turbulence.

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has just inaugurated an international center dedicated to the digital yuan in Shanghai. A strong signal: Beijing wants to impose its e-CNY as a pivot of a new global monetary order. Can this initiative really challenge the dollar’s hegemony and compete with stablecoins dominated by the greenback?

Europe is stepping up its game on stablecoins. Bullish Europe has just listed USDCV, the new dollar-backed stablecoin launched by Société Générale-Forge. MiCA compliant and supervised by BaFin, this token marks a decisive turning point in Europe’s regulatory battle against American giants in the sector.

For the first time, Washington speaks with one voice on crypto. After years of partisan deadlocks and ideological battles, Democrats and Republicans are finally breaking their divides to build a common regulatory framework. Twelve Democratic senators have just announced their support for negotiations, accelerating the implementation of a law that could redefine the future of a market worth more than 4 trillion dollars.

Over the years, Bitcoin has evolved from a peer-to-peer payment system to a sought-after global asset. Regional governments are now looking to the OG crypto as an inflation hedge, and corporate Bitcoin treasuries have emerged as a rising trend. Yet for Tim Draper, venture capitalist and founder of Draper Associates, Bitcoin’s role goes far beyond a store of value. He maintains that the first-born coin will become a cornerstone in the future of finance and even national defense.

The internationalization of the Chinese currency is no longer a fantasy. The growth of international payments in yuan is skyrocketing. Bitcoin is lurking.

Fitch has downgraded France's sovereign rating from AA- to A+, mainly due to governmental instability and difficulties in reducing the public deficit. This situation reveals the failure of the French government, but also massive interventions by the European Central Bank (ECB).

The ECB freezes its rates, the FED is preparing to cut them... What if, in this monetary ping-pong, it was ultimately the real economy that served as the lost ball?

It's not just Bayrou's France that is struggling. Europe is going through a systemic crisis that the ECB's printing press can no longer solve. Despite years of massive injections, the eurozone is sinking into a vicious circle of stagnation and unsustainable debt. It seems that this time, unlike 2008, the ECB can no longer save Europe from the crash.

Bitwise published a report predicting that bitcoin will surpass the one million dollar mark before 2035.

At $37 trillion, American debt reaches an unprecedented level, fueling doubts about the dollar's strength. While markets question, bitcoin climbs beyond $124,000, driving the entire crypto sector to new heights. Between budgetary concerns and a rush toward alternative assets, a shift seems to be occurring.

Unknown to the general public but omnipresent behind the scenes of power, Palantir works with governments and multinationals by exploiting data. Valued at over 400 billion dollars after a 2000% increase since 2023, it represents either the investment opportunity of a generation or the next speculative bubble ready to burst.

The dollar is roaring, and Bitcoin is taking a hit. That’s the scenario taking shape as the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbs past 99.98 points, reaching its highest level in two months. This upward move coincides with the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged—a strong signal to markets, though not necessarily a favorable one for Bitcoin.

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, recently published a revealing article in the Financial Times about his vision of "globalization 2.0." This new approach aims to direct citizens' savings towards investments in local infrastructure, under the guidance of asset managers like BlackRock.

In the face of the fragilization of the global monetary system and the contested dominance of the dollar, the BRICS are moving discreetly but surely towards a strategic alternative: a common currency backed by sovereign digital infrastructures. Driven by a now-expanded and economically influential bloc, this initiative aims to reshape the global monetary balance. As the instability of fiat currencies worsens, the emergence of such a project raises questions for markets, institutions, and observers: is this a strong signal towards a new multipolar economic order?

China remains indifferent to threats and is getting rid of American debt. Bitcoin is lurking.

As emerging powers strengthen their economic cooperation, Donald Trump reignites tensions by directly targeting the BRICS bloc. His tariff threats and offensive remarks aim at much more than just an alliance: they target the hegemony of the dollar, the future of multilateral policies, and ambitions surrounding digital currencies. This position, both political and economic, could reshape international trade and impact the already fragile balances between the Western sphere and the alternative strategies of emerging markets.

When Trump regulates cryptos and legalizes his own stablecoins, it smells like a full-on electoral strategy. But who will oversee the genius of the GENIUS Act? Not the children, apparently.

Jerome Powell's term will expire in May 2026, and Donald Trump has already announced that he is considering three to four candidates to replace him. This crucial decision could radically transform American monetary policy and create shockwaves in global financial markets.

Donald Trump's announcement of 10% tariffs on BRICS countries reignites a strategic debate: are the United States risking, in their bid to defend their leadership, to accelerate de-dollarization? Behind this commercial offensive lies a deeper rift, where emerging powers seek to break away from the dominance of the greenback. As geo-economic tensions intensify, the question arises: is Washington not hastening the questioning of the monetary order it strives to preserve?

"While the dollar plays the tightrope and Trump brandishes his tariffs, Washington unveils a crypto-crutch: stablecoins, a techno remedy or a digital mirage of a wavering empire?"

The debate on leaving the euro is resurfacing regularly in France. With new presidential elections set for 2027, a victory for the National Rally could lead to an exit from the euro. The French could very well come out of it ruined!

Under the pretext of stablecoins in Hong Kong, Beijing is moving its pieces. Crypto on the menu, control for dessert? JD and Ant are rolling out the digital carpet, but beware of the invisible strings.

While Wall Street sets more records, the dollar is collapsing at an unprecedented rate since 1973. This wide gap is not trivial. It reflects a global shift fueled by geopolitical tensions, a Federal Reserve under political pressure, and macroeconomic uncertainties. The benchmarks are crumbling, and markets are seeking safe havens. In this silent but brutal reconfiguration, cryptocurrencies are once again asserting themselves in the strategic landscape, propelled by their decentralized logic in the face of state currency instability.

Economist Peter Schiff is openly opposing the U.S. government on the future of stablecoins. While Washington relies on these cryptocurrencies to strengthen the dollar, Schiff predicts the opposite. But is he right to be concerned?

While Trump buries the digital dollar, Beijing is setting up its own on all continents. One click, one yuan, and finance trembles. The United States watches... gritting its teeth.
