The US Congress puts Bitcoin back at the center of the political game. With the ARMA project, elected officials want to turn bitcoins already held by the state into a real strategic reserve, governed by law.

On Polymarket and Kalshi, more than 12.5 million dollars have been wagered on a scenario that worries Republicans: a takeover of Congress by the Democrats. This rise in betting comes as Donald Trump faces unfavorable polls, gradually turning these crypto platforms into real political barometers followed even in Washington circles.

Cardano is going through a funding crisis that directly threatens its scientific foundation. Charles Hoskinson warns of a major risk: without sufficient support, part of the research ecosystem could be dismantled. For a crypto that has claimed an academic approach for years, the signal is heavy.

Bitcoin has just surprised the crypto market. Despite over 2 billion dollars in outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC rebounded above $77,000. A signal that could change the institutional market's perspective.

Ethereum could regain momentum if the Middle East conflict calms down. This is the idea defended by Tom Lee, who sees in the current pressure a market noise more than a real trend change.

Autonomous AI agents adopted simulated violent and criminal behaviors when left for several weeks in shared virtual worlds. This is the signal sent by Emergence AI with its Emergence World platform, designed to observe not a short response, but long, social, and unstable autonomy. The key point is simple: an AI may seem reliable in a classic test, then change behavior when interacting for a long time with other agents, rules, memory, and competing goals.

Bitcoin ETFs have just suffered their largest capital outflow in more than three months. On May 13, spot BTC funds lost $635.23 million in a single session. On the other hand, Solana remains in positive territory. The crypto market does not cut risk everywhere. It simply changes direction.

Bitcoin returns to a dangerous zone. After several weeks of rebound, CryptoQuant estimates that the market could flip if the current resistance holds strong.

Cardano has just passed an important technical milestone with the arrival in testing of five new Plutus primitives. Behind these additions, the network is primarily preparing its van Rossem hard fork, designed to make smart contracts faster, cheaper, and more flexible.

Europe does not want to let the stablecoin become the Trojan horse of the dollar in its digital payments. Christine Lagarde brought this issue back to the center of the debate, warning that the dominance of Tether and Circle could weaken European monetary sovereignty. The ECB does not reject the technology. It mainly refuses to import a model designed elsewhere.

Tether has just reminded a reality often forgotten: USDT circulates quickly, but it can also be frozen abruptly. In one month, the issuer of the largest stablecoin on the market has frozen more than 514 million dollars on Ethereum and Tron, according to BlockSec data.

Kalshi has just raised $1 billion and doubled its valuation in barely five months. Everyone wants a share of the prediction market.

Bitget reaches a new milestone on CFDs. The platform claims to have achieved $8 billion in daily volume, compared to $6 billion in March. This acceleration mainly comes from a rekindled hot asset: gold.
