Donald Trump has just avoided a major political setback by rallying dissenters from his own camp. Thanks to a direct intervention in the Oval Office, he is back on track for the adoption of the flagship laws of Crypto Week. However, internal tensions regarding central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) hint at a battle that is far from over.
Standard Chartered has taken a major step in crypto by launching a fully regulated spot trading service for Bitcoin and Ethereum, specifically targeting institutional clients. This move makes it the first globally systemically important bank to offer direct access to dollar-paired crypto spot trading, opening the door for corporates, investors, and asset managers to gain exposure to digital assets under the umbrella of a trusted banking institution.
Independence Day for the United States, July 4th embodies more than just a national holiday. It is an ode to audacity, vision, and innovation. This symbolic date has been chosen by Credefi to mark a decisive turning point: its official entry into the American market. From Silicon Valley, the European DeFi protocol asserts its commitment to anchoring decentralized finance in the real economy. Far from being a mere publicity stunt, this expansion reflects a thoughtful strategy, an engaging dialogue with traditional finance, and a clear ambition: to connect the worlds of blockchain and tangible assets, from Sofia to Wall Street.
The market for tokenized real-world assets (RWA) is experiencing a spectacular redistribution in 2025. Solana has shown a growth of 218% since January, eclipsing the progress of Ethereum which is limited to 81%. Could this rise redefine the hierarchy of blockchains in this strategic sector?
Digital asset exchange Bitfinex has spotted an interesting trend: grassroots demand for Bitcoin has outpaced supply. Bitfinex’s recent findings come at a time when the apex asset continues to carve strong upward price trajectories amid interest from top industry players. More so, this supply shock indicates the growing appeal of the OG crypto among new market participants despite its high value.
On Tuesday, in a turn as unexpected as it is symbolic, the United States House of Representatives canceled crucial votes on two major cryptocurrency bills. This setback, occurring during the height of "Crypto Week," follows a procedural failure that exposes the deep political divisions surrounding the regulation of digital assets. While attention was focused on the imminent adoption of the "Clarity" and "GENIUS" texts, discussions are now stalled, casting uncertainty on the future of the U.S. crypto framework.
In a crypto market waiting for new strong signals, XRP has just caught everyone off guard. While Bitcoin and Ethereum stagnate below their resistances, Ripple's crypto is asserting itself as the most dynamic asset of the moment, driven by decisive legal and technical news. With a jump beyond $2.90, it reconnects with forgotten highs and finds itself at the heart of discussions, amidst speculation about an ETF, renewed institutional interest, and the end of a historic conflict with the SEC.
While Bitcoin played the star at $123,000, whales discreetly offloaded their cargo. Result: panic, a gaping technical gap, and altcoins hanging by the breath of the king.
From geek to chosen one, Bitcoin is making its revolution. Wall Street sings its praises, Washington is stocking it up... What if gold had found something shinier than itself, but without the bars?
While Ethereum is often touted as a potentially deflationary asset, the reality of the protocol tells a different story. Nearly 4.6 million ETH have been burned since 2021, the equivalent of $13.5 billion, yet this has not stymied the growth of supply. This anomaly raises questions about the coherence and effectiveness of the economic model established since the London upgrade, and challenges certain certainties regarding the programmed scarcity of the asset.
Bitcoin's current price is seen as a buying opportunity by experts like CZ and Kiyosaki, with long-term growth still expected.
While the United States bets on open regulation of stablecoins with the GENIUS Act, China takes a more discreet approach. In Shanghai, a closed-door meeting among regulators reveals a willingness to experiment, without easing control.
For a long time, bitcoin reigned supreme as the uncontested master of the cryptocurrency realm, particularly in the area of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). But today, a turning point is taking place. Discreetly, methodically, Ethereum is beginning to nibble away at market shares and is capturing the attention of institutional investors. A recent report from CoinShares highlights this astonishing dynamic: ether is no longer just following; it is asserting itself. Behind the numbers lies a reality taking hold: the dominance of bitcoin in crypto ETFs is no longer so evident.
The crypto market has just crossed a symbolic threshold: $3.8 trillion in capitalization. This is more than Amazon's valuation, almost as much as the GDP of the United Kingdom. Far from a simple bullish cycle, this surge propels cryptocurrencies to the status of systemic players. A turning point that reshuffles the cards: this market is no longer peripheral; it now competes with major economic powers. While financial capitals observe, the cryptosphere sets its own pace and redraws the contours of the global economy.
Bitcoin climbs, falters, then retreats: behind the glitz of $123,000, invisible hands are at work. Should one flee or hold firm? Experts are hesitant... and so are the traders.
The decentralized finance giant Aave has just crossed a symbolic threshold by surpassing 50 billion dollars in net deposits. This historic achievement solidifies the protocol's position as the undisputed leader in DeFi lending. A major milestone that reflects both the maturity of the sector and its growing attractiveness to institutions.
Eric Jackson of EMJ Capital predicts Ethereum could surge to $10,000 soon and even $1.5 million long-term. He highlights the potential impact of staking-enabled ETFs, shrinking ETH supply, and growing institutional demand as key drivers behind this bullish outlook.
It feels like 2021 again. Cardano is one of the best performers among blue chip coins, and the 10th largest cryptocurrency by market cap has surged 29% in just seven days, reaching $0.747 at the time of writing. In the past 24 hours alone, it added nearly 4%, driven by a wave of bullish momentum across the altcoin market.
In an ecosystem dominated by major global platforms, it was a regional player that surprised the entire market. In just a few hours, XRP skyrocketed from $2.60 to $3.00, propelled by a massive influx of orders on Upbit, the leading South Korean exchange. While Binance and Coinbase usually control the weather, it is Seoul that, this time, took hold of the fate of one of the oldest altcoins in the market.
He does not speak. He does not sell anything. Yet, Satoshi Nakamoto has just shaken the top of the financial pyramid. Thanks to a bitcoin that has risen to 122,500 dollars, the creator of cryptocurrency has amassed an estimated fortune of 134.26 billion dollars. Without ever having moved a single one of his tokens.
Stablecoins have become a widely used medium of cross-border transactions, especially for retail payments and other overseas remittances. Despite the growing adoption, some within the banking circles have expressed skepticism about these digital fiat-pegged assets. A prominent banking personality even warned the world's largest banks against issuing their own stablecoins.
The crypto market loves surprises, especially when they have feathers. Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) is experiencing a spectacular rise after unexpected support from Justin Sun, founder of Tron. Could this memecoin follow the trajectory of a PEPE or even become the next institutional darling?
Bitcoin has just crossed a symbolic and historical milestone: it surpasses Amazon in the stock market with a valuation of over 2.4 trillion dollars. It is no longer just a digital currency: it is now one of the most powerful assets on the planet. Decoding a silent but irreversible economic earthquake.
Sometimes, all it takes is a single week of silence to sow doubt. When Michael Saylor stopped his weekly bitcoin purchases, speculation ran rampant. Strategic pause or sign of fatigue? The answer hit skeptics like a slap in the face: a massive new buyback of BTC, accompanied by a colossal fundraising effort. Saylor's obsession with the digital asset is only intensifying, and behind this frantic accumulation lies a much more ambitious logic than that of a mere speculative bet.
Bitcoin surpasses $120,000, but there is no euphoria across the web. Unlike previous peaks, this meteoric rise is not causing any popular excitement or a surge in searches. No FOMO, no viral buzz: an unexpected calm hangs over the networks. This absence of noise at a key moment raises questions. Is this a sign of market maturity, or an indicator of growing disinterest?
Bitcoin is breaking records and flirting with the ballot boxes: between the crypto-seducer Trump and greedy ETFs, the rebellious currency is making its way into the plush lounges of Wall Street.
A Bullish wave is once again sweeping through all corners of the crypto market as Bitcoin reached new price levels and altcoins printed price climbs. Over the past week, the OG coin witnessed consecutive days of price increases, reaching an all-time high of $ 118,731 on July 11. Despite this remarkable feat, data shows that the apex coin’s dominance has faded slightly. Prominent market personality Matthew Hyland even asserted that altcoins may have a greater upside, as many currently surge independent of Bitcoin’s influence.
As Bitcoin soars to new heights, some analysts shout about rational euphoria. Others, more cautious, remind us that the party may be short-lived. Behind the dizzying numbers and cascading records looms a shadow: that of the American Federal Reserve. For while markets anticipate a drop in rates, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon plays the party pooper and suggests otherwise. A bad surprise from the Fed could derail Bitcoin's momentum, especially in a context where retail investors remain strangely absent. Is the king of cryptos running on empty? Analysis.
Dogecoin put derivatives markets under pressure in record time. In four hours, long-position traders saw more than $590,000 go up in smoke, trapped by a 1,000% liquidation imbalance. The asset, fueled by a meteoric rebound before dropping again, exposed the ambient nervousness and vulnerability of speculative positions. This sequence illustrates how unpredictable Dogecoin remains, even for the most seasoned operators.
In the crypto universe, the activity of whales often serves as a barometer for trend reversals. XRP, buoyed by a record influx of wallets holding more than one million tokens, has just provided a striking illustration. While its price leaps by 26% in a week, the concentration of tokens in a few hands raises questions about the intentions of large holders. Against the backdrop of a widespread altcoin rally, this renewed interest in Ripple's crypto could well mark a strategic turning point for the market.
