The world of crypto is an arena where every major incident reshapes market dynamics. Indeed, the colossal hack of $1.4 billion suffered by Bybit, one of the largest centralized exchanges, raises an important question: Can Ether still surpass $3,000 despite this shock? This hacking, the largest in the history of crypto, comes at a time when the Ethereum market wavers between hope and uncertainty. Bybit reacted by buying back over 106,000 ETH to compensate for its losses. Such a situation has created buying pressure that could reverse the asset’s bearish trend. However, will this massive buyback be enough to turn the tide, or does the threat of massive liquidations risk annihilating this rebound?

After months of excitement, the frenzy surrounding the launch of tokens on Solana is slowing down significantly. Pump.fun, the leading platform for launching memecoins, is experiencing a marked decline in its activity and revenue. Amid growing mistrust and market fatigue, the enthusiasm for these ultra-speculative tokens seems to be fading.

Bitcoin is evolving in an almost critical equilibrium zone. Usually subject to marked fluctuations, the asset has recorded historically low implied volatility in recent days, a situation that is as intriguing as it is worrying for analysts. As the markets await a strong signal, a well-known figure in the sector, Michael Saylor, suggests a new massive buying movement for his company Strategy. Is the Bitcoin market on the brink of an explosive move? As open interest in BTC futures declines and volatility reaches historical lows, some indicators suggest that a period of high activity could follow.

Bybit's CEO, Ben Zhou, recently addressed the issue of a rollback of the Ethereum blockchain following the hack carried out by the Lazarus group on February 21, 2025. This hack resulted in the theft of 489,395 ETH, amounting to approximately $1.4 billion, spread across 54 wallets. During a session on X on February 22, Zhou discussed various measures to recover the stolen funds, including the possibility of a rollback of the Ethereum blockchain. This procedure would allow him to recover the stolen funds, but at what cost?

The Lazarus group, the main suspect in the historic hacking of Bybit estimated at $1.4 billion, would also be involved in recent memecoin scams on Solana, notably via the Pump.fun platform, according to findings by blockchain investigator ZachXBT.

Altcoins are gaining ground again, but this time, the scenario seems different. Historically, each altseason was triggered by a rotation of capital from Bitcoin to alternative cryptos, leading to a widespread market rally. However, according to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, this cycle may be mutating. He claims that the current dynamics are not based on a flight from Bitcoin's dominance, but rather on liquidity flows from stablecoins. An unprecedented situation that could redefine the trajectory of the crypto market.

Imagine the scene: Elon Musk, black sunglasses and a MAGA cap firmly on his head, wielding a red chainsaw under the applause of a conservative crowd. Behind him, Javier Milei, Argentine president and figure of ultraliberalism, wears a triumphant smile. On Thursday, February 20, 2025, at the CPAC in Washington, the symbol is violent, almost punk. The chainsaw, gifted by Milei to Musk, embodies much more than a media gadget. It summarizes a declared war against bureaucracy, waged by two iconoclasts determined to redefine the rules of power.

The crypto market is often unpredictable, but this time, some investors are looking not at technical charts, but at the sky. Indeed, on February 28, a rare alignment of seven planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Uranus, Mercury, and Neptune) is drawing the attention of astrologers and the crypto community. According to several experts in financial astrology, this cosmic configuration could signify strong turbulence for Bitcoin and the entire market. Between skepticism and mystical beliefs, the idea that the stars could dictate price movements is divisive, but one thing is certain: the climate of uncertainty is settling in.

The Solana ecosystem is currently going through a period of turbulence due to the increase in scams related to memecoins. The drop in capital flows and the 40% decrease in active users reflect a loss of confidence among investors. However, this crisis could cleanse the market and strengthen the network's credibility.

The CEO of Bybit, Ben Zhou, has recently taken a strong stance against Pi Network ($PI), stating that it is a scam and that his exchange will never list a fraudulent project. This statement follows a controversy triggered by a Pi Network page, which claimed that Bybit was losing its influence in the crypto market after Pi Network allegedly refused to be listed on the exchange.

The crypto industry has just experienced a strategic twist. Franklin Templeton, a giant in asset management, is launching its Bitcoin & Ether ETF (EZPZ), a bold move that redefines access to cryptocurrencies. Far from being a mere financial product, this ETF embodies a subtle break between the era of individual speculation and that of structured institutional adoption.

On February 21, 2025, the crypto exchange platform Bybit fell victim to an unprecedented hacking incident, resulting in the loss of over 1.4 billion dollars in digital assets. This incident marks the largest theft in the history of cryptocurrencies, far surpassing previous major hacks.

Financial markets do not only react to numbers but also to the feelings and expectations of investors. In the crypto universe, where volatility is the norm, every signal emitted by a major institution can influence trends. This time, it is JPMorgan that makes a splash: the American bank believes that the Bitcoin and Ethereum markets are facing an increased bearish risk due to a disengagement of institutional investors. Such an analysis is based on the evolution of CME futures contracts, which show signs of critical weakness.

The American economy is facing a dynamic that could disrupt the existing balances: demand for long-term Treasury bonds is weakening, calling into question the strength of the dollar and fueling new economic uncertainties. As the Federal Reserve remains committed to a delicate monetary policy and inflation struggles to slow down, Bitcoin finds itself at a strategic crossroads. Historically viewed as a speculative asset, it is now seeing its status evolve as some U.S. states consider incorporating it into their reserves. The central question is thus: will Bitcoin suffer the effects of this uncertainty or will it seize the opportunity to assert itself as an alternative safe haven?

Bitcoin continues its spectacular rise in early 2025, reaching $98,404 on major exchange platforms. This increase comes against a backdrop of growing institutional adoption and promising technical signals, as traditional markets like gold and the S&P 500 also set new records.

On February 21, 2025, Bybit, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchange platforms, revealed that it had fallen victim to a sophisticated cyberattack. According to an official statement, a cold wallet holding Ethereum (ETH) was compromised, allowing an attacker to transfer $560 million to an unidentified hot wallet. This incident highlights the security challenges faced by exchanges in the crypto universe.

A recent survey conducted by Independent Reserve reveals that only one third of Australians consider Donald Trump a positive figure for the cryptocurrency sector, despite the significant rise in Bitcoin since his election. This study comes at a time when Trump’s pro-crypto promises are reshaping the American digital landscape.

Michael Saylor proposes a bold vision: the United States should acquire 20% of the circulating bitcoins. In a speech at CPAC, he stated that such a strategy could not only strengthen the dollar but also help pay off the national debt. Behind this financial ambition lies a geopolitical struggle where every major power seeks to assert itself in the digital economy of tomorrow.

Vitalik Buterin expressed his disappointment over the accusations that Ethereum is "bad and intolerant" due to its lack of support for blockchain casinos. He emphasized that other chains readily accept any application, including gaming platforms, which some argue makes them superior. According to Buterin, this perspective represents a reversal of values.
