At a time when trade tensions are reshaping global power dynamics, Europe faces a direct threat: Washington has imposed a deadline of July 9 to reach a bilateral agreement.

An express negotiation is underway to prevent a shift to a tariff confrontation.

Dreams are crumbling. The trajectory of Ethereum, once hailed, is dangerously wobbling. Just as a surge towards $3,000 seemed within reach, the tide is turning.

XRP, long in the background, could very well reshape global payment circuits.

As the entire planet holds its breath in the face of the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, the European Union is moving forward with determination. Where others hesitate, it legislates.

But a bet that is embraced. And above all, a clear message: AI will not be a jungle in Europe.

The cryptocurrency market has never lacked ambition, but a new study has just crossed an unprecedented milestone: Ethereum could reach $706,000.

A solo miner, armed with only 2.3 PH/s, mined a block on his own via Solo CK, earning about $350,000. This almost impossible statistical achievement recalls the more open beginnings of the network. In an increasingly centralized ecosystem, this isolated victory revives the fundamental question: is the Bitcoin network still accessible to independents?
