Diplômé de Sciences Po Toulouse et titulaire d'une certification consultant blockchain délivrée par Alyra, j'ai rejoint l'aventure Cointribune en 2019.
Convaincu du potentiel de la blockchain pour transformer de nombreux secteurs de l'économie, j'ai pris l'engagement de sensibiliser et d'informer le grand public sur cet écosystème en constante évolution. Mon objectif est de permettre à chacun de mieux comprendre la blockchain et de saisir les opportunités qu'elle offre. Je m'efforce chaque jour de fournir une analyse objective de l'actualité, de décrypter les tendances du marché, de relayer les dernières innovations technologiques et de mettre en perspective les enjeux économiques et sociétaux de cette révolution en marche.

At a time when the dollar reigns supreme in global trade, the BRICS alliance seemed determined to shake up this established order. For several months, this economic bloc had been exploring the possibility of freeing itself from the dollar and even creating a common currency to facilitate their exchanges. However, the project for a single currency has now been abandoned, a decision that marks a significant setback for the BRICS in their quest for monetary sovereignty and in their desire to challenge American dominance.

During a talk at the Redacted conference organized by Near, Edward Snowden, an iconic figure in the protection of individual freedoms, targeted Solana, one of the heavyweights in the sector. Indeed, he described it as a project hindered by the weight of venture capitalists. For Snowden, the influence of large investors jeopardizes the foundational principles of blockchain and gives financial giants too much control over networks that aim to be autonomous. But beyond Solana, Snowden's remarks touch on the core of contemporary issues in blockchain. In the age of AI and mass surveillance, could decentralization be the last bastion of digital freedom?

Indeed, an $800 million loss looms for the bank, under the threat of a federal investigation related to accusations of non-reimbursement of customers who fell victim to fraud via the Zelle payment network. This case raises further questions about consumer protection practices in the American financial sector, as pressure intensifies on banks to ensure secure transactions and reimbursements in cases of fraud.

The return of Donald Trump to the presidency could transform the future of cryptocurrencies in the United States, as this reelection generates both hope and apprehension. Some players in the sector see it as an opportunity for more favorable regulation, while others question the true intentions of the future administration. Indeed, while the United States holds a prominent position in the development of crypto, Trump's policy on this sector could redefine standards and influence the price of assets, particularly Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is reaching new heights, now flirting with the $77,000 mark, a feat largely driven by the announcement of Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential elections. In a context of high volatility, where institutional players and analysts sharpen their projections, the famous stock-to-flow model by analyst PlanB now forecasts a potential surge in Bitcoin's price up to $500,000 by the next four-year cycle. This renewed institutional interest, supported by favorable political initiatives, promises to disrupt the crypto market.

As Bitcoin continues to captivate investors worldwide by flirting with new historical highs, an unexpected voice rises to temper the euphoria surrounding the queen of crypto: that of Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, a benchmark in the industry. In a context where markets are buoyed by the prospect of Fed rate cuts and the repercussions of the recent U.S. presidential elections, Ki Young Ju makes a strange and far from optimistic prediction. According to him, Bitcoin could experience a drop of nearly 24% by the end of 2024, with a level around $58,974. This prediction, although out of step with the current enthusiasm, is based on a meticulous analysis of past trends and market data.

This statement is made in a global context where several nations, particularly within the BRICS, are exploring alternatives to the monetary dominance of the United States. Analyzing this Russian strategy, which combines pragmatism with the exploration of new economic options, helps to better understand the current issues and the prospects for a new international financial balance.

Donald Trump's election to a second term as President of the United States could redefine the balance of power between Europe and its traditional ally across the Atlantic. In the face of this political upheaval, European leaders are confronted with critical questions about the future of their security, their strategic autonomy, and their economic partnership with the United States. As Europe is already weakened by internal tensions, Trump's return rekindles fears of an American disengagement in defense matters, as well as the threat of a trade war.

The relations between the two largest global economic powers, the United States and China, are once again at the heart of trade tensions. Barely elected, Donald Trump is reinforcing his intentions to pursue a no-holds-barred protectionist policy, seeking to impose record tariffs on Chinese imports. This approach echoes his first term, where heavy tariffs created a precedent in the Sino-American trade war. But this time, in a post-pandemic context where the global economy is still fragile, the repercussions could prove to be more significant. While Beijing advocates for dialogue, the world is bracing for a new phase of commercial confrontation with potentially global effects.

Donald Trump's return to the White House is not limited to classic political issues. For the crypto industry, his election could redefine the contours of financial regulation, particularly for financial products linked to Ether (ETH), the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Indeed, the prospect of an ETF based on staked Ether could represent a decisive step for the sector. Thus, some analysts, like Edward Wilson from Nansen, believe that such a product could diversify investment options and also strengthen Ether's position as a strategic asset. This scenario, although conditioned by the political context, could change the dynamics of the crypto market in the United States and open unprecedented opportunities for investors.

The return of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States after his victory in the election on November 5 raises serious concerns well beyond American borders. Indeed, during a recent address in Lyon, Villeroy de Galhau did not mince his words. For him, "this new Trump administration would increase the risks to the global economy." This statement serves as a reminder to Europeans of the urgency to strengthen their economic resilience and to elevate their autonomy in the face of an increasingly protectionist American model.
