The crypto market is experiencing unprecedented excitement. Indeed, Bitcoin, the undisputed leader of the sector, is nearing the symbolic threshold of 100,000 dollars, a level that signifies much more than just a simple increase in value. This ascent reflects the evolution of the global economy, where cryptocurrencies hold an important place in the portfolios of investors seeking alternative assets. Boosted by favorable U.S. economic data, notably an apparent control of inflation, this progression provides insights into the opportunities and challenges of a constantly shifting market, amid optimism and uncertainties related to fluctuations in traditional markets.

The United States is facing a historic budget deficit, reaching $711 billion in just three months, an increase of 39% compared to the previous year. This explosion in public spending, coupled with a decline in tax revenues, is straining federal finances. Donald Trump, poised to return to the White House, will have to reconcile his promises of tax cuts with the necessity of controlling the debt. To assist him, Elon Musk has been appointed to lead a commission dedicated to government efficiency. His ambition: to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion, even if a halfway goal would already be a "super result." Between budgetary discipline and economic imperatives, the future administration finds itself faced with a perilous equation, where each decision could redefine the country's financial stability.

In its latest report "The Bitcoin Monthly", ARK Invest suggests that a new bullish phase could emerge for bitcoin in 2025, based on a thorough analysis of its currently particularly moderate volatility.

After reaching a historic peak in December, Bitcoin is undergoing a brutal correction, losing nearly 10% of its value in just a few weeks. This drop cannot be solely explained by a simple market cycle, but by a tense economic context. Persistently high U.S. inflation reduces the Federal Reserve's (Fed) maneuvering room, delaying hopes for rate cuts. This situation increases the pressure on risky assets, including Bitcoin, which sees its appeal diminish against a rising dollar and increasing bond yields. The imminent announcement of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on January 15 could further accentuate this trend. According to Steno Research, inflation exceeding expectations could trigger new liquidations, potentially pushing BTC below $85,000. However, the danger does not come solely from macroeconomic data. The Bitcoin derivatives market remains overheated, fueling an excess of leverage that increases volatility. Amid economic uncertainties and the fragility of speculative positions, crypto operates in a zone of instability where each economic announcement could provoke a significant movement.

The year 2025 marks a decisive step for the crypto market. Indeed, regulatory pressure is intensifying, while institutions are strengthening their presence in the sector. In this rapidly changing environment, some projects manage to stand out by combining innovation with strategic adoption. For investors, identifying the most promising altcoins relies on several criteria: scalability, institutional adoption, technological performance, and return potential. Thus, among the most strategic choices for January 2025, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Avalanche (AVAX) stand out due to their optimized infrastructures and growing adoption, thereby consolidating their place at the heart of Web3.

The 2024 American presidential election has sparked numerous debates, particularly regarding the potential influence of crypto.

Cryptos have been evolving for years in a regulatory gray area, but the latest decision by the U.S. Supreme Court marks a decisive turning point for Binance. By rejecting the platform's request, the highest American court confirms that securities laws apply to transactions conducted on its servers, even if the company does not have a physical headquarters in the United States. This verdict paves the way for a class action lawsuit initiated by investors, who accuse Binance of selling unregistered cryptos. Already under pressure after a series of lawsuits and a multi-billion dollar settlement with the Department of Justice, the exchange and its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, are facing intensified legal challenges. This setback raises a key question: Are the United States imposing their authority over the entire global crypto market?

Global economic relations are evolving under the influence of geopolitical tensions and the strategic repositioning of major powers. In this context, China and Russia are strengthening their trade partnership, which is set to reach a historical record of 240 billion euros in 2024. This growth illustrates a strategic rapprochement bolstered by Western sanctions against Moscow and Beijing's desire to expand its influence. More than just an economic alliance, this cooperation sends a clear signal to the United States and the European Union, which aim to limit their dominance on the global stage. Thus, the surge in trade flows, increased use of the yuan in transactions, and the restructuring of international financial circuits now raise the question of the long-term consequences of this Sino-Russian agreement.
