Solana bombards DEXs, Ethereum takes the hit... but behind the sparkle, a network coughs and memecoins tumble. The crypto king trembles, but can the prince reign without an active throne?
While public opinion gets bogged down in debates over ETFs and speculative bubbles, the U.S. government is taking action. Discreetly, but resolutely.

As the crypto market oscillates between regulatory uncertainty and technical expectations, XRP captures the attention of the most strategic investors.

Wall Street continues to set records, and crypto holds its breath. As the Nasdaq and S&P 500 reach historical highs, the prospect of monetary easing by the Fed revives bullish scenarios.

The bitcoin market, usually quick to get excited at the slightest institutional whisper, seems today to be sending a clear message: long-term confidence is present.

World Liberty Financial is preparing to make its WLFI token tradable while rolling out a stablecoin audit and a new app to simplify crypto use.
For a long time reserved for bitcoin, the role of strategic treasury asset is now expanding to other cryptos. Upexi, listed on Nasdaq, is a concrete illustration of this: it has strengthened its treasury with 735,692 SOL, valued at over 105 million dollars. And that's not all: the company also announces the tokenization of its shares on the Solana blockchain.

In recent days, the crypto market has been closely watching a particularly reliable technical model. With a historical accuracy of 78%, this model could herald the imminent arrival of a new peak for Bitcoin. Is the market ready to surpass its previous records?
Billions are flowing in, but Bitcoin remains stagnant. While spot ETFs recorded record inflows in June 2025, the leading cryptocurrency barely reacts. Just a 2% increase for the month is a trivial move in a market accustomed to violent surges. This unexpected calm, despite unprecedented institutional momentum, raises questions among observers. What does this inertia really reveal? Behind the visible flows, a new equilibrium is emerging in the crypto arena, far from the classic patterns of speculative euphoria.
The race for bitcoin among companies has taken a new turn. Metaplanet, a Japanese company undergoing transformation, has just surpassed a symbolic milestone by overtaking Tesla in the ranking of the largest corporate bitcoin reserves.

Will crypto replace banks for AI? The radical hypothesis of Tether is becoming clearer. The details in this article!
Kraken, often discreet but never truly withdrawn, has just taken a strategic step that could reshuffle the crypto market in Europe. By obtaining its regulatory license under the MiCA framework, the platform is stepping into the big leagues at a continental level, just behind Coinbase, but not too far behind to be considered lagging. In an environment where compliance is becoming a must-have, Kraken chooses to embrace regulation rather than circumvent it. And this choice could pay off handsomely.
The U.S. is facing a serious financial challenge. The national debt is now over $36 trillion, and rising interest rates are making it more expensive to borrow money. Much of the debt that was issued during the COVID-19 era is about to roll over, meaning it needs to be refinanced at today’s much higher rates.
The Federal Reserve just made a big change that could make it easier for crypto companies to get bank accounts. On Monday, the Fed said it would no longer use “reputational risk” as part of its official bank supervision process. That vague label was often used to warn banks away from doing business with crypto firms, and many in the industry say it led to years of unfair “debanking.”
While Americans pamper stablecoins, the Bank of France bares its teeth: crypto, dollar, and sovereignty do not mix well for the guardians of the monetary temple.
Russia no longer tests. It imposes. By decreeing the mandatory integration of the digital ruble into the national banking and commercial system, Moscow leaves no room for doubt. The transition to a controlled, programmable, and centralized currency is underway. Gone are the ambiguities of experimentation, making way for the architecture of an unprecedented monetary system where each transaction could, tomorrow, be traced, regulated... or even blocked. This choice is not merely technological: it is political, strategic, almost ideological. For behind the apparent modernization of payments lies a much larger game.
The ceasefire in the Middle East triggers a new rise in bitcoin.
