While Bitcoin struggles to maintain its support levels, a key technical indicator on Ethereum rekindles traders' enthusiasm.

Elon Musk's journey has always been marked by meteoric rises and brutal shocks. However, rarely has a week been as financially challenging for the head of Tesla and SpaceX. In just a few days, his fortune evaporated by $41 billion, a drop that raises questions about the strength of his companies as well as his controversial management. While Musk retains his status as the world's richest man, this unprecedented loss is symptomatic of the growing difficulties faced by Tesla, whose transition strategy towards artificial intelligence worries investors. Additionally, there are political tensions and criticisms of his omnipresence in various fields, which makes the situation even more complex. Amid colossal financial losses and a crisis of confidence, Musk finds himself under the spotlight for reasons very different from those that brought him success.

With the rise of cryptocurrencies, one question often arises: can one live solely on bitcoin?

The Ethereum blockchain, often seen as a driving force of innovation in the crypto world, recently encountered a serious setback during the deployment of the Pectra upgrade. While this update was supposed to mark a major advancement for the network, a bug on the Holesky testnet has cast doubt. This incident raises questions not only about the technical challenges Ethereum faces, but also about the crucial importance of testnets in the crypto ecosystem.

In a major advancement for the adoption of stablecoins in the financial sector, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has officially recognized USDC and EURC as the first regulated stablecoins within its legal framework.

As Bitcoin continues to capture the attention of markets, the latest data shows a stark contrast between network activity and its net capital. Daily transfer volume has fallen by 76%, while realized capitalization has surged by $160 billion in three months. A dynamic that raises questions: are we witnessing a critical slowdown or a strategic consolidation before a new bullish momentum? Since its last peak beyond $100,000, Bitcoin has struggled to maintain its momentum. The pressure is intensifying, and some analysts anticipate a possible drop below $90,000. However, despite a significant decline in activity, the influx of fresh capital and the resilience of long-term investors present an interesting counterpoint.

The week starts in the red—it's a bloodbath for crypto. Ethereum, Solana, and the market are plunging. Even Bitcoin isn't spared.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially recognized the proposal from NYSE Arca to list and trade a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on Cardano (ADA) on behalf of the cryptocurrency asset manager Grayscale.

Bitcoin is evolving in a context of uncertainty marked by economic fluctuations and contradictory signals in the financial markets. Amidst the resistance of safe-haven assets, low volatility, and macroeconomic expectations, investors are scrutinizing the upcoming market movements. Here are 5 elements that could be decisive for BTC this week.

As the crypto landscape wobbles between innovations and regulations, Ethereum makes a significant move. The Pectra upgrade arrives on Holesky, a key testnet for a silent revolution. The goal: to push the boundaries of decentralization. But behind the lines of code, a battle for blockchain hegemony is being fought.

The world of crypto is an arena where every major incident reshapes market dynamics. Indeed, the colossal hack of $1.4 billion suffered by Bybit, one of the largest centralized exchanges, raises an important question: Can Ether still surpass $3,000 despite this shock? This hacking, the largest in the history of crypto, comes at a time when the Ethereum market wavers between hope and uncertainty. Bybit reacted by buying back over 106,000 ETH to compensate for its losses. Such a situation has created buying pressure that could reverse the asset’s bearish trend. However, will this massive buyback be enough to turn the tide, or does the threat of massive liquidations risk annihilating this rebound?

In the whirlwind of Sino-American tensions, Bitcoin ETFs lost $1.14 billion in two weeks, victim of a geopolitical cataclysm, amid tariff threats and market uncertainty.

After months of excitement, the frenzy surrounding the launch of tokens on Solana is slowing down significantly. Pump.fun, the leading platform for launching memecoins, is experiencing a marked decline in its activity and revenue. Amid growing mistrust and market fatigue, the enthusiasm for these ultra-speculative tokens seems to be fading.

Bitcoin is evolving in an almost critical equilibrium zone. Usually subject to marked fluctuations, the asset has recorded historically low implied volatility in recent days, a situation that is as intriguing as it is worrying for analysts. As the markets await a strong signal, a well-known figure in the sector, Michael Saylor, suggests a new massive buying movement for his company Strategy.

Bybit's CEO, Ben Zhou, recently addressed the issue of a rollback of the Ethereum blockchain following the hack carried out by the Lazarus group on February 21, 2025. This hack resulted in the theft of 489,395 ETH, amounting to approximately $1.4 billion, spread across 54 wallets. During a session on X on February 22, Zhou discussed various measures to recover the stolen funds, including the possibility of a rollback of the Ethereum blockchain. This procedure would allow him to recover the stolen funds, but at what cost?

The Lazarus group, the main suspect in the historic hacking of Bybit estimated at $1.4 billion, would also be involved in recent memecoin scams on Solana, notably via the Pump.fun platform, according to findings by blockchain investigator ZachXBT.

Altcoins are gaining ground again, but this time, the scenario seems different. Historically, each altseason was triggered by a rotation of capital from Bitcoin to alternative cryptos, leading to a widespread market rally. However, according to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, this cycle may be mutating. He claims that the current dynamics are not based on a flight from Bitcoin's dominance, but rather on liquidity flows from stablecoins. An unprecedented situation that could redefine the trajectory of the crypto market.

Imagine the scene: Elon Musk, black sunglasses and a MAGA cap firmly on his head, wielding a red chainsaw under the applause of a conservative crowd. Behind him, Javier Milei, Argentine president and figure of ultraliberalism, wears a triumphant smile. On Thursday, February 20, 2025, at the CPAC in Washington, the symbol is violent, almost punk. The chainsaw, gifted by Milei to Musk, embodies much more than a media gadget. It summarizes a declared war against bureaucracy, waged by two iconoclasts determined to redefine the rules of power.

The rise of cryptocurrencies goes beyond speculation and investment. Indeed, the actual use of these assets as a means of payment has reached an unprecedented level, transforming the perception of the sector. Binance Pay, the payment tool of the giant Binance, has just recorded $72.4 billion in transactions in 2024, a figure that reflects increasing adoption. This surge can be attributed in particular to the important role of stablecoins and a diversification of uses, in a context where traditional players struggle to keep pace. While crypto payments were still marginal a few years ago, Binance Pay is now establishing itself as a key player in this revolution.

The crypto market is often unpredictable, but this time, some investors are looking not at technical charts, but at the sky. Indeed, on February 28, a rare alignment of seven planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Uranus, Mercury, and Neptune) is drawing the attention of astrologers and the crypto community. According to several experts in financial astrology, this cosmic configuration could signify strong turbulence for Bitcoin and the entire market. Between skepticism and mystical beliefs, the idea that the stars could dictate price movements is divisive, but one thing is certain: the climate of uncertainty is settling in.

The Solana ecosystem is currently going through a period of turbulence due to the increase in scams related to memecoins. The drop in capital flows and the 40% decrease in active users reflect a loss of confidence among investors. However, this crisis could cleanse the market and strengthen the network's credibility.
