The stablecoin market is now divided between financial power and actual usage.

The bitcoin mining industry is entering a pivotal phase. For years, holding the mined BTC was enough to ensure the profitability of operations. This logic is now reaching its limits.

Bitcoin is again moving within an uncertainty zone around 70,000 dollars. Behind this apparent stability, markets watch a key factor: U.S. monetary policy.

Arthur Hayes surprises the bitcoin market. One of his loudest supporters now explains that he wouldn't place 1 dollar on BTC at the current price. His idea is not a rejection of bitcoin.
