Amid revolutionary announcements, technological developments, and regulatory turbulence, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove that it is both a realm of limitless innovations and a battlefield for regulatory and economic struggles.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, and Ripple: The biggest news of the past week

Bitcoin ETFs Hold Steady Despite Market Volatility

Despite a 25% drop in the price of Bitcoin and a decrease in inflows, Bitcoin ETFs maintain 95% of their assets under management, which amounts to approximately $115 billion. This behavior, similar to that of traditional ETFs, indicates a shift in investor perception towards a more long-term approach. However, warning signs are emerging with capital outflows reaching $1.6 billion over the last month and a decline in BTC demand, which could signal potential turbulence in the market. 🔗 Read the full article

The SEC Could Close the Ripple Case After Four Years of Battle

The case between the SEC and Ripple could finally be coming to an end after four years of legal battle. The commission is considering ending the proceedings following a judgment that fined Ripple $125 million. If appeals are abandoned by both sides, the decision will remain in place, but in case of disagreement, a new negotiation will be necessary. This potential conclusion coincides with a shift in direction from the SEC, which is dropping other lawsuits against crypto companies. 🔗 Read the full article

The Dominance of Bitcoin Continues to Impress

Bitcoin reinforces its grip on the crypto market with a dominance of 61.2%, confirming the slowdown of the altcoins rally.

Marine Le Pen Wants to Mine Bitcoin with Nuclear Energy

Marine Le Pen proposes to exploit surplus nuclear electricity to power Bitcoin mining. During a visit to the EPR in Flamanville, she criticized the underutilization of the French nuclear fleet, which operates at 70% capacity compared to 90% in the United States. Instead of reducing production during low-demand periods, she wants to channel excess energy into crypto mining to generate income for EDF. While this initiative appeals to some industry players, it also raises questions about its environmental impact and economic viability. 🔗 Read the full article

Solana Crashes After the End of the Memecoin Bubble

The speculative frenzy surrounding memecoins ended abruptly, leading to a 93% drop in Solana’s revenue, which fell from $55.3 million to $4 million per week. The Pump.fun site, which accounted for 80% of the network’s revenue, saw its activity collapse after the fall of the TRUMP and MELANIA tokens. Solana’s TVL has lost nearly 50%, and the price of SOL has dropped by 58% in just a few weeks. This crisis highlights the network’s dependence on speculative cycles and raises doubts about its ability to build a more stable and diversified ecosystem. 🔗 Read the full article
