Ripple wants to become a banker, XRP attempts a spectacular comeback, and Wall Street applauds. The once rebellious crypto is settling into the plush chairs of regulators. How far will it go?
While Bitcoin mining now seems to be reserved for industrial giants equipped with powerful ASICs, an improbable feat challenges this logic. A solo miner, armed with only 2.3 PH/s, mined a block on his own via Solo CK, earning about $350,000. This almost impossible statistical achievement recalls the more open beginnings of the network. In an increasingly centralized ecosystem, this isolated victory revives the fundamental question: is the Bitcoin network still accessible to independents?
On July 4, 2025, a Bitcoin wallet that had been inactive since 2011 suddenly moved 80,000 BTC, worth $8.6 billion. The transaction, eclipsing all previous records, is as intriguing as it is fascinating. No words, no announcements, just a massive movement captured by the blockchain. Both rare in its volume and exceptional due to the age of the funds, this act by an anonymous holder raises questions about the hidden dynamics of the market and the intentions of large whales.
The cryptocurrency market has never lacked ambition, but a new study has just crossed an unprecedented milestone: Ethereum could reach $706,000. This prediction, from a 38-page report titled The Bull Case for ETH, is based on a series of economic, technical, and structural analyses that redefine the role of Ether in the global ecosystem. According to the authors, Ethereum would no longer be just a programmable blockchain, but the energy and monetary foundation of the future global financial system.

As Bitcoin flirts with its historical highs without managing to break through, a technical indicator is catching the attention of experts: the decline in open interest over 90 days. This subtle signal could well open a strategic accumulation window.
As the entire planet holds its breath in the face of the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, the European Union is moving forward with determination. Where others hesitate, it legislates. Faced with tech giants and hesitant governments, Brussels waits for neither soft consensus nor external validation. Its strategy? Regulate first, innovate later. A risky bet, perhaps. But a bet that is embraced. And above all, a clear message: AI will not be a jungle in Europe.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum monopolize attention, XRP is quietly establishing itself as one of the most strategic projects in the crypto landscape. Beyond speculation, some analysts mention an ongoing "historic wealth transfer." This bold statement reflects the alignment of key indicators: regulatory advances, banking integration, and technological performance. XRP, long in the background, could very well reshape global payment circuits.
Corporate Bitcoin treasury firms have become an emerging trend in the last few years, with companies like Strategy adopting an aggressive ownership approach.
