Michael Saylor does not ease the pressure. The co-founder of Strategy announced a new bitcoin purchase, his third in a row this month. Despite the market volatility and the fluctuations in his company's stock price, he relentlessly pursues his plan: accumulate BTC, whatever the cost. His conviction remains intact, almost unshakable.

Yes, a doctored photo. Enough to turn your iPhone into a crypto sieve without you lifting a finger. The target? Everyone who uses Apple products… but especially, everyone who stores their wallet keys in unexpected places. Fortunately, an emergency update has been released to try to patch the breaches.

In the midst of geopolitical reshuffling, the European Union and the United States have just ratified a trade compromise presented as a bulwark against escalation.

Between diplomatic balance and tariff concessions, this new agreement revives the debate on Europe's economic sovereignty.

Driven by ETF inflows and a favorable macroeconomic climate, ETH is once again attracting institutional investors. However, history tempers optimism. Since 2016, every August rally has been followed by a bearish September. Will the current euphoria mark a break or will it reactivate the market's seasonal mechanics?

Quietly, but surely, bitcoin is establishing itself in the global monetary architecture. The flagship crypto asset has just crossed a symbolic threshold: its market capitalization now amounts to nearly 1.7% of the planetary money supply.

While the asset has just broken its all-time high, Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, reignites the debate by putting forward a shocking prediction: Ethereum could reach between 10,000 and 20,000 dollars by the end of the bull cycle.
