Political decisions shape the future of cryptocurrencies, and the crypto summit organized by the Trump administration at the White House on March 7 is a glaring proof of this. This event, which aimed to establish a new posture for the United States towards the blockchain industry, sparked mixed reactions. While some observers see it as an institutional recognition of Bitcoin and a strategic turning point, others denounce it as a mere political stunt without concrete measures. This meeting, which coincided with the announcement of the creation of a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, had an immediate impact on the markets, leading to a 7.3% drop in BTC and massive outflows from Bitcoin ETFs. So, real progress or just a publicity stunt?
