By continually reaching new heights, Bitcoin has finally surpassed them. This week, the pioneer of cryptocurrencies not only broke its own record: it has also pulled a host of stock values along with it, from exchange giants like Coinbase to the most aggressive miners. A spectacular surge that speaks volumes about the market's mindset: crypto is no longer on the sidelines; it is taking center stage. And when it ignites, an entire parallel economy, now institutional as well, is set ablaze. A breakdown of a week that will be remembered in the annals of digital finance.

In a context of record inflows into Ether ETFs, this operation may signify a turning point: ether is no longer a speculative asset; it is becoming a financial lever integrated into the treasuries of influential companies.
While Wall Street counts its points, Bitcoin takes the prize, ridicules the S&P 500, and shoots at full speed into the coffers of a stunned BlackRock. Who would have believed it?
