The NFT eldorado has turned into a frozen desert: 13.7 billion in volumes vanished, a crash worthy of the most beautiful digital illusions. Who will still bet on these mirages?
The crypto ecosystem is going through an expansion cycle where competition among blockchains is intensifying, especially in the decentralized exchanges (DEX) market. Indeed, long dominated by Ethereum, this sector is seeing the emergence of a significant competitor: Solana, whose trading volumes briefly surpassed those of Ethereum in February. This unexpected performance occurred despite an unprecedented crisis in the memecoin segment, these speculative cryptos that have long been a key economic driver of the network. Solana is holding on to its place among the DEX leaders, but the recent collapse of memecoins raises a major question: can the network maintain its position without this asset?
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, expressed his skepticism about the idea of a strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies in the United States, fearing for the decentralization of the sector. However, he remains open to objective criteria if such a reserve were to come into existence.
The Trump administration has just taken a new step in the regulation and integration of cryptocurrencies in the United States. President Donald Trump signed a presidential decree late last night that establishes a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, an initiative that transforms the American approach to cryptocurrencies.
In a context of increasing uncertainty in the crypto market, Solana experienced a capital hemorrhage in February 2025. Investors, burnt by scandals related to memecoins and the recent record hack of Bybit, are massively turning to digital assets deemed safer.
On March 6, 2025, Solana validators will vote on two major proposals aimed at modifying the network's economy and the reward system for stakers. These proposals, known as Solana Improvement Documents (SIMDs), are generating intense debate within the crypto community, particularly due to their impact on validator revenues, which are set to decrease dramatically.
Donald Trump sparked an uproar by announcing that the strategic reserve of bitcoins would also include other cryptocurrencies.
Amid revolutionary announcements, technological advancements, and regulatory turbulence, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove that it is both a territory of limitless innovations and a battleground of regulatory and economic challenges. Here is a summary of the most significant news from the past week surrounding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, Solana, and Ripple.
With a snap of the presidential fingers, XRP enters history. The SEC falters, Garlinghouse exults: a new era blows over crypto.
The past few weeks have been tough for crypto investors. Indeed, they have been marked by a prolonged market downturn and a growing sense of distrust. Bitcoin, the engine of the sector, has nonetheless recorded a spectacular rebound. Thus, it surpassed $84,000 after having dropped to as low as $78,248. This turnaround raises an essential question: is this a true signal of recovery or just a brief surge before a new phase of turbulence? In the shadow of this rise, major altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP have experienced mixed performances. Some may take this opportunity to regain ground, while others remain under pressure.
"Binance, accused of pulling the strings of the grand crypto ball, defends itself. Meanwhile, Solana wavers, and investors search for a culprit. A twist of fate or mere panic?"
Solana is bonding like a cat escaping the downpour, but the storm of March 1st is approaching, ready to clip its wings.
MetaMask sets sail, goodbye gas fees, hello Bitcoin and Solana. A revolution is blowing through crypto, shaking up certainties and driving competitors wild.
The crypto market is undergoing a new phase of turbulence. Solana (SOL) has fallen by 41% in just a few weeks. This decline is not just a simple market correction: it highlights structural vulnerabilities and a high dependence on certain speculative trends.
Amidst sordid scandals, Pump.fun devalues by 80% in February. The excitement of memecoins fades under the weight of disappointment, while confidence collapses inexorably.

The week starts in the red—it's a bloodbath for crypto. Ethereum, Solana, and the market are plunging. Even Bitcoin isn't spared.
Cryptos are experiencing a new episode of brutal volatility, shaking a market already weakened by macroeconomic uncertainties. Solana is collapsing by 14%, XRP and Dogecoin are down more than 8%, while Bitcoin has dipped below $91,000. This movement, amplified by massive liquidations, raises questions about the resilience of these assets in the face of global economic pressures. Thus, the question now is whether this drop indicates a simple correction or the beginnings of a trend reversal.
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.
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.
Bitcoin sways under a threatening sky, and nearly 300 million dollars vanish in the storm. Traders, like tightrope walkers, are scrutinizing the bar at 96,000 dollars.
The crypto market is going through a new period of turbulence, and Solana (SOL) is directly suffering the consequences. In 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has dropped by 6.2%, reaching $166.42, its lowest level since mid-December. This decline occurs in the context of controversies related to memecoins based on its blockchain, notably LIBRA.
The crypto universe has just experienced a new earthquake. Pump.fun, a platform known for its express rises of ephemeral tokens, today accuses internal actors of having manipulated its ecosystem. A revelation that sheds stark light on the structural flaws of a sector that is nonetheless accustomed to turbulence. Far from the usual denunciations of external fraud, it is the heart of the system that seems to have trembled here. How could a platform boasting transparency become the stage for such a scenario? And what does this episode reveal about the urgency to reinvent the rules of the game?
Investors are massively taking short positions on the Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency as the ecosystem faces a series of scandals related to memecoins. Data from exchange platforms reveals a significant increase in bearish bets, reflecting a growing sentiment of distrust towards the network.
Amid revolutionary announcements, technological advancements, and regulatory turbulence, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove that it is both a territory of limitless innovations and a battleground for regulatory and economic challenges. Here is a summary of the most significant news from the past week surrounding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, Solana, and Ripple.
190 dollars yesterday, 340 tomorrow? Solana sows doubt and excitement. A double bottom as a springboard, an accelerating adoption: the markets resonate, history is being written.
The Solana network continues to assert itself in the crypto universe. According to recent data, Solana's cross-chain bridges have reached a total volume of $10.1 billion in inbound transactions, marking an impressive increase of 114% in one year.
The dynamics of power are evolving at a breakneck speed in the crypto sphere. Today, it is BNB (Binance Coin) that is making headlines by surpassing Solana (SOL) in terms of market capitalization. With a 13% increase in a week, BNB has reached a market cap of over 104 billion dollars, thus dethroning SOL. However, this performance goes beyond mere numbers. It is part of a broader context marked by technological advancements, bold marketing strategies, and a shift in investor perception. Let's dive into the details of this remarkable rise.

The line between traditional finance and the world of crypto continues to blur. Franklin Templeton, a giant in asset management with $1.6 trillion under management, takes another step towards integrating blockchain and announces the extension of its tokenized US money market fund (FOBXX) on Solana. This strategic move, which comes against a backdrop of rising tokenized financial assets, could represent a turning point in the institutional adoption of this technology. After already launching this fund on Ethereum, Avalanche, and several layer 2 blockchains, the American company is now betting on Solana, an infrastructure that has managed to appeal beyond its initial reputation as a playground for memecoins.
