Dollar

The US dollar has cycled in influence over global debt markets for decades, maintaining its central role despite shifts and challenges.

S&P Global Ratings has just downgraded USDT to its lowest stability level. A rare decision targeting the world’s most used stablecoin and raising doubts about its ability to maintain its peg to the dollar. At a time when regulators are tightening the noose around cryptos, this evaluation revives debates on the solidity of Tether’s reserves and the systemic risks stablecoins pose to the entire market.

While bitcoin briefly rises above $86,000, a dissonance persists: the US dollar remains strong. This strength, usually unfavorable to risky assets, has not hindered BTC's upward momentum. Is it a real sign of recovery or a mere technical rebound masking underlying weaknesses?

When tokens want to play treasury bonds, the BIS panics. Crypto-confidence or crypto-catastrophe? Finance views stablecoins as a Pandora's box ready to open.

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.

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.

Tether reaches a historic milestone by surpassing South Korea in Treasury bonds. Crypto no longer just exists; it now asserts itself in the most strategic economic spheres.

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.
