On February 9, 2025, the President of the Central African Republic, Faustin-Archange Touadéra, announced on X the official launch of a memecoin named $CAR. Described as an "experiment" aimed at uniting the population, supporting national development, and positioning the country on the international stage. However, this project raises many questions with an 82% risk of being a scam, and crypto users currently falling victim to phishing!

“Bitcoin... is cooked.” The provocative statement by Justin Drake, a researcher linked to Ethereum, has ignited discussions on social media. According to him, a $10 billion investment would be enough to annihilate the Bitcoin network. However, behind this assertion lies a troubling misunderstanding of what contributes to the resilience of the protocol. Far from being a weakness, the cap of 21 million units and the energy security of Bitcoin make it a colossus with feet of clay... only in appearance. If Bitcoin were to fail, no cryptocurrency would survive. Explanations.

In a world where finance and politics are increasingly intertwined, the launch of the memecoin Trump by Donald Trump and his sons has caused shockwaves in the markets. What could have been a crypto branding operation has turned into a brutal game of musical chairs, where early players pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars, leaving behind a tide of disappointed losers. In just a few hours, savvy traders multiplied their bets exponentially and benefited from a speculative surge that drove the token price to $75 before it collapsed. While the phenomenon of memecoins is nothing new, Donald Trump's direct involvement raises questions about ethics, regulation, and the future of political cryptocurrencies.

In a constantly evolving crypto market, altcoins are often presented as innovative alternatives to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

He argues that the cryptocurrency market is flooded with projects that, while claiming to bring innovations or technical solutions, do not actually have any significant differentiation from memecoins.

The evolution of the crypto market often relies on subtle signals that only savvy investors know how to interpret. Among these, the inflows to accumulation addresses are closely monitored, as they help anticipate bullish trends. On February 7th, these addresses recorded a record influx of $883 million in Ethereum (ETH), an event that, historically, precedes major price increases. As competition among blockchains intensifies and the regulatory framework evolves, this massive accumulation of ETH raises a crucial question: Is Ethereum preparing for a new peak at $4,000 and beyond?

While Bitcoin and Ethereum have paved the way for ETFs, it is now Solana that is set to write a new chapter. The SEC has just ignited an unexpected fuse: the agency has started the countdown for the approval of a Solana ETF. A decision that reeks of gunpowder, as it contrasts sharply with its hostile past. But behind this turnaround lie issues far deeper than just a simple regulatory green light.

Behind this delay lies a whole segment of the crypto finance that remains suspended under still vague regulations, caught between growth potential and increased control by authorities.

And if the disappointing figures of American employment were hiding a backdoor to an unprecedented opportunity for Bitcoin?

The world of traditional finance is increasingly intertwined with that of Bitcoin, and BlackRock's recent moves only confirm this dynamic. Indeed, the asset management giant, with its $11.6 trillion under management, has just increased its stake in MicroStrategy, now rebranded as Strategy, to 5%. This rise does not go unnoticed: it comes as Strategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin massively, in order to strengthen its role as a pioneer among publicly traded companies. More than just an investment, this strategic alignment raises questions about the future of Bitcoin in institutional portfolios and the place that giants like BlackRock wish to occupy in this rapidly expanding ecosystem.

The crypto universe remains a legal battleground where technology and law clash mercilessly.
