GameStop wants to buy eBay for $55.5 billion. The offer is spectacular, almost baffling, as it comes from a group much smaller than its target.

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.

DeFi hits a wall: JPMorgan warns about a lack of trust from institutions. Detailed explanations in this article!
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. According to data relayed on April 23, BTC dominance hovers around 60.6%, while the market looks again at the 80,000 dollar threshold.
A temperature variation of a few degrees was enough to trigger gains of several tens of thousands of euros. At the origin of this situation, a Météo-France sensor suspected of having been tampered with, at the heart of betting on the Polymarket platform. This case, far from trivial, reveals a major vulnerability: when real-world data become financial instruments, their integrity becomes a critical issue for the entire crypto ecosystem.
Grayscale reignites the debate on the bitcoin cycle. For the management company, the market may have already found its bottom in February 2026, whereas many analysts still expect a real dip later in the year.
Bitcoin briefly touched 78,100 dollars after two very clear triggers: the extension of the truce with Iran announced by Donald Trump and Strategy's new massive purchase.

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.
Polymarket is negotiating a new $400 million fundraising based on a valuation of about $15 billion. The prediction market is no longer just a corner of crypto; it is now a field that Wall Street is watching very closely.

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 former is studying a selective offering, away from bets deemed too speculative. The latter is mainly observing liquidity before going further. In the background, the rise of Kalshi and Polymarket is already accompanied by increasing regulatory pressure, while the sector is still seeking its balance in the United States today.
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.

It also involves hired profiles, integrated, then left as close as possible to sensitive accesses.
France is preparing a security crackdown in response to kidnappings related to crypto. The issue is no longer just financial. It is becoming police, political, and almost industrial.
