As economic tensions intensify between major powers, a dissenting voice challenges the dominant narrative in Washington. According to Boris Kopeikin, chief economist at the Stolypin Institute, the US trade deficit with China is not the result of a BRICS strategy, but rather a structural weakening of the American economy. This interpretation reignites the debate on the root causes of American imbalances in a world undergoing major reconfiguration.

In the United States, the employment report expected this Friday, September 5, could seal the fate of interest rates.

In Washington, crypto policy loses one of its most prominent faces. Bo Hines, propelled at the end of 2024 to the head of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, leaves his position after only a few months.

His departure raises a central question: will the White House be able to maintain the momentum given to its crypto strategy?

At Shanghai, China unveiled a major proposal: to create a global organization dedicated to the governance of artificial intelligence.

For a sector long hindered by legal uncertainty, this text marks a clear shift towards the institutionalization of digital assets.

Tether, once allergic to regulation, now bows to Washington. Opportunism? Late awakening? Crypto is opening a highway... but watch out for the toll!

TikTok remains at the heart of a strategic struggle, at the crossroads of economic interests and national security concerns.

Europe, once a pioneer in the regulation of cryptocurrencies, might soon become just a simple corridor traversed by innovation without ever holding onto it. While the United States and Asia are making concrete advances, the Old Continent is bogged down in caution. Catriona Kellas, legal officer at Franklin Templeton, pulls no punches: the EU risks being relegated to the status of a spectator, unable to compete with the dynamics of major rival powers.
