As the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows a slight decline in inflation, Bitcoin holds its breath. At 3.1%, the number is below expectations, but the king of crypto paradoxically plunges from $84,000 to $83,000 in just a few hours. A paradox? Not really.

After more than four years of legal confrontation, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears ready to close this emblematic case.

Within weeks, the excitement evaporated, leading to a brutal collapse. Today, Solana's weekly revenues have fallen back to $4 million, a staggering drop of 93%.
