August was marked by two opposing signals in the crypto market. Ethereum reached an unprecedented peak of activity, confirming the growing interest of investors in its ecosystem. Conversely, Bitcoin suffered a brutal shock after the massive liquidation of 24,000 BTC by a single actor. This contrast is not just a technical divergence. It illustrates an ongoing rearrangement, between regulatory innovations, strategic repositioning of players, and the evolution of the balance of power between major assets.

Trump, crypto and millions at stake: WLFI unlocks its tokens, promises of a jackpot or a new speculative prank? Investors oscillate between euphoria and suspicion.

Behind Bitcoin's apparent stability, an imbalance threatens the network's sustainability. Since April, transaction fees have dropped by more than 80%, shaking the remuneration model of mining companies. Amid the rise of ETFs and after a demanding halving, it is Bitcoin's internal economy that is faltering. Lower fees, fewer incentives, more risks to protocol security, the crisis is here, structural, and raises a question the ecosystem can no longer ignore.

Crypto ETF issuers are just waiting for the SEC to release its stamp. They move forward, file, correct, refine. Like a conductor confident in his score, Grayscale continues to play its own regulatory symphony. And this time, it is Cardano taking the stage, ready to secure its ticket to Wall Street. The countdown is on, the lines are moving, and investors are already sharpening their order books.

Trump dead? No, just putting around! But the rumor was enough to shake the crypto market, social networks... and some nerves in high places.

Tether, undisputed giant of stablecoins, backtracks on a decision that shook the crypto ecosystem in July. While it planned to end support for USDT on five historic blockchains, the issuer ultimately grants an unexpected reprieve to its users. Why this reversal, and what does it reveal about Tether's strategy in the face of regulatory challenges and competition?

While markets ignite to the rhythm of algorithms and viral tweets, the Oracle of Omaha remains faithful to an immutable strategy: investing in what one understands, for the long term. Besides his birthday, this week also marks a turning page for Berkshire Hathaway.

Shibarium collapses. In ten days, the daily transactions of the Shiba Inu layer 2 blockchain dropped from 4.8 million to less than 10,000, a fall of 99.8%. This is not a slowdown, but a brutal stop. Launched a year ago as the engine of the SHIB ecosystem, the network is facing a spectacular loss of momentum. In a lethargic crypto market at this end of August, this plunge raises questions about the real adoption of this project, which is nevertheless highly exposed in the media.

When cops play gangsters, even bitcoin becomes ransom money. In India, the Bhatt case reveals crypto-greedy police officers... sentenced to meditate in jail.

On August 30, bitcoin fell below 110,000 dollars, confirming persistent selling pressure. Technical indicators highlight a marked bearish trend, while the market hesitates to find a balance point. Between a critical support at 107,000 dollars and a solid resistance at 114,000 dollars, the next break could guide the trajectory for the coming weeks. In an uncertain economic context, tension rises among investors, divided between the fear of a new drop and the expectation of a reversal.

Driven by euphoria and records beyond $124,000, bitcoin seemed out of reach. However, the sudden break of a major technical support, a pillar of the uptrend, disrupts this picture. False alarm or real reversal signal? The question divides analysts and investors, at a time when certainties waver and volatility returns.

While cryptos are establishing themselves in the global political and financial agenda, certain statements resonate with particular intensity. In Hong Kong, during the Bitcoin Asia Conference, Eric Trump stated that bitcoin would reach one million dollars. Much more than a publicity stunt, this prediction reflects a strategic vision: that of a market in full mutation, torn between regulation, institutional adoption and geopolitical ambitions, where Asia now plays a central role.

The White House in Web3 mode: Chainlink and Pyth tasked with putting GDP on blockchain. When crypto oracles replace civil servants, should we fear the bug or applaud the boldness?

While the market oscillates between technical consolidation and the return of institutional appetite, an extraordinary movement attracts all attention. An actor holding more than 5 billion dollars in bitcoin redirects a major part of its capital towards Ethereum. The scale of the amounts, the transparency of on-chain transactions, and the timing of the operation are striking. More than a simple arbitrage, this strategic repositioning seems to redraw the power relations between the two historical pillars of the crypto universe.

The signals align on the altcoin market. While bitcoin and Ethereum take a pause, XRP and Dogecoin position themselves at the forefront of speculative bets. Raoul Pal, former Goldman Sachs and founder of Real Vision, mentions an imminent transition of the current cycle. In an analysis shared on X, he revives his concept of "Crypto Waiting Room" and points to a possible breakout from consolidation for these two assets. Investors, for their part, watch for the trigger signal.

Bitcoin is currently undervalued according to JPMorgan. In a note signed by analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, the American bank estimates that BTC should reach 126,000 dollars by the end of the year, given its historically low volatility. As its risk-return profile approaches that of gold, bitcoin may be entering the most critical phase of its institutional adoption. This is a projection full of meaning for major capital allocators.
