Brazil tightens its control over prediction markets related to crypto and financial betting. Authorities have initiated the blocking of 27 platforms, including Kalshi and Polymarket. This measure comes after a directive from the Ministry of Finance and an action by the National Telecommunications Agency.

It also affects gambling, user protection, and financial stability.

Bitcoin has just passed back above 60% dominance across the entire crypto market, a symbolic threshold it had not reclaimed since 2026. Meanwhile, its price is near 80,000 dollars, a sign of a clear return of capital to the asset considered the most solid in the sector.

Ethereum has just shown its clearest buy signal on derivative markets since the 2022 bear market. For the crypto market, this is not yet a confirmed reversal. But it is a change of tone that deserves to be taken seriously. For months, Ethereum moved forward with an invisible brake. Even when the price tried to recover, sellers still dominated derivatives. This imbalance is finally beginning to crack, and this is exactly what puts ETH back at the center of the crypto game.

Aave lost more than 6 billion dollars of deposits after the Kelp hack, and this is exactly what the crypto market is sanctioning today. The protocol was not hacked directly. But it faces a risk it did not create, which is enough to trigger a brutal capital flight and a drop in the AAVE token. According to CoinDesk and DefiLlama, Aave's total value locked dropped from about 26.4 billion to less than 20 billion, while the token fell around 16%.

Prediction markets are no longer a marginal topic in finance. Charles Schwab and Citadel Securities are now following this segment, each with its own perspective.

The X case has reached a new level. What initially was a French investigation into Elon Musk's platform has now taken the form of a political showdown between Paris and Washington. The submitted text already highlights this rising tension around X.

An Iranian announcement was enough to move two markets at once. On one side, oil fell sharply. On the other, bitcoin gained altitude, passing above 76,000 dollars with an intraday peak around 78,000 dollars on Friday.
