For five years, the Ripple vs SEC case has crystallized tensions between crypto innovation and American regulation. On June 17, Ripple filed a strategic motion with Judge Analisa Torres, aiming to close the case without further judicial confrontation.

A legal precedent may be on the verge of being established.
By maintaining its benchmark rates for the fourth consecutive time, the Fed has not simply extended a monetary policy. It has taken a stance in a tense economic and political landscape.

Behind the silence of the numbers, a strategy of resistance is taking shape as the central bank finds itself at the heart of an increasingly unstable balancing act.

However, a strategic absence intrigues: that of the BRICS. A newcomer to the bloc, Iran was counting on solid support against its sworn enemy. Yet neither Moscow, nor Beijing, nor New Delhi are committing. This silence exposes the limits of an alliance that Tehran saw as a counterweight to Western hegemony.

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.
Military tensions in the Middle East are entering a critical phase. While Israel intensifies its strikes against Iran, prediction markets are going wild. The likelihood of a U.S. strike is reaching unprecedented levels. This increase in volatility fuels fears of a regional conflagration, closely monitored by investors, particularly in the crypto ecosystem.
As the world enters a new zone of turbulence, with war in the Middle East, soaring energy prices, and monetary uncertainty, one anomaly persists: Bitcoin is not falling. It is rising. This is a striking paradox in a climate where traditional assets are wavering. Should this be seen as further proof of its transformation into a safe-haven asset? Or merely an illusion of stability fueled by market euphoria?

In June 2025, the quantum industry reached a historic milestone. Oxford University announced a world record with a quantum gate achieving an error rate of only 0.000015%, or one error every 6.7 million operations. A few days later, IBM unveiled its roadmap to a 200 logical qubit quantum computer, named Starling, expected in 2029. Meanwhile, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated that the quantum computing sector has reached an inflection point, heralding a new technological era. In light of this acceleration, a major question arises: Is Web3 ready for the post-quantum world? The reality is more concerning than it appears.
In the turmoil of global commercial reconfigurations, Beijing is advancing its pawns. China announces the complete removal of tariffs on exports from 53 African countries, expanding preferential access to its market. Behind this gesture lies a targeted diplomatic offensive as Washington, under the leadership of Donald Trump, reactivates protectionist levers against the continent. Africa, long peripheral in geo-economic arbitration, is becoming the epicenter of a clash of influences where industrial ambitions, strategic alliances, and narratives of sovereignty intersect.

For the first time, the idea of putting France under the guardianship of the IMF has crossed the gates of Bercy. Long reserved for countries in crisis, this perspective, now acknowledged at the highest level of the state, reveals the extent of the budgetary derailment. An abyssal debt, soaring interest charges, and pressure from rating agencies form an explosive cocktail. The signal is clear: French economic sovereignty is wavering, and international institutions are now scrutinizing Paris with the same severity as struggling economies.
Bukele treats bitcoins like one treats croissants, defiantly challenging the IMF with flair and playing accounting hide-and-seek while promising mountains and wonders to skeptical Salvadorans.
A discreet yet massive shift is redefining the global monetary balances. Indeed, over 90 countries, led by the BRICS, are abandoning the dollar in their international exchanges. In its place, the yuan, the ruble, or the rupee are gradually taking over. This strategic realignment, far from being a mere technical adjustment, challenges the financial order built around the United States since the post-war period. A stated desire for economic sovereignty and a direct challenge to American hegemony over global flows are at the root of this movement.
