Bitcoin sees its dominance challenged by Ethereum on a closely watched indicator: the ETH/BTC ratio. Rising to 0.02858 BTC, Ethereum breaks a resistance of several weeks. For Tom Lee, this movement may signal a return of altcoins. But the signal remains fragile, as bitcoin still holds the psychological advantage in the market.

The Bitcoin protocol has just activated one of the most powerful self-regulation mechanisms in its recent history, profoundly changing the financial balances of mining operators. While the sector has been continuously eroding its margins since the beginning of the year, this algorithm update comes at a critical time when the economic survival of mining facilities depends on the smallest fraction of a dollar.

The debate around the evolution of the Bitcoin network is experiencing a new episode with the BIP-110 proposal, designed to limit non-monetary transactions and certain data considered undesirable. While its defenders believe it would protect the initial use of the protocol, several influential figures dispute this approach. Michael Saylor and Adam Back believe such a modification could create more risks than it solves. Their positions thus revive an important discussion on the balance between network protection, decentralization, and protocol stability.

The crypto market is going through a phase of profound institutional transformation, where the treasury management strategies of the largest corporate holders are redefining the rules of bitcoin valuation.

Its executive chairman, Michael Saylor, posted a particularly ambiguous message on social media that breaks with his usual aggressive accumulation declarations, casting doubt on the company’s real intentions.

The development of a regulatory framework for cryptos in the United States has just crossed a new threshold of tension, illustrating the extreme polarization between industry leaders and Washington policymakers.

The direct confrontation between the exchange platform Coinbase and Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren highlights the urgency of legislative clarification, but mainly reveals diametrically opposed visions on how to protect the American financial system.

The crypto initial public offering market is slowing down in 2026, with four major players in the sector having postponed their IPOs.

A legal case in New York threatens to create an explosive precedent for bitcoin.

Stablecoins are today macroeconomic forces capable of destabilizing states. On July 11, 2026, an IMF working paper led by Brandon Joel Tan broke a taboo. In economies with managed exchange rates, crypto-dollars compensate for the rationing of official currencies but act as formidable accelerators of crises. By displaying the scarcity of the dollar in real time, these assets cause massive and coordinated capital outflows.

The cryptocurrency market has experienced mixed developments in recent days, but Ether stood out with a 3% increase between Thursday and Friday. This rise occurs in a context marked by the growth of tokenization, the successful launch of Robinhood Chain, and continued purchases by several companies.

On-chain data and indicators from derivative markets still show signs of weakness, limiting short-term growth potential.

The updated data finally sheds new light on the network's energy consumption after the merge.

MiCA was supposed to secure European crypto. It may instead accelerate a new movement, that of capital towards decentralized finance.

However, the giant holder of corporate BTC reserves broke with its doctrine by selling part of its holdings to meet its short-term financial obligations.

While markets question the solidity of this strategy, Standard Chartered delivers an analysis that places these movements in a global perspective.

The market for investment products related to cryptocurrencies continues to evolve as issuers adjust their strategies. This time, VanEck has modified the registration documents of its spot Ethereum ETF, a change that occurs as competition intensifies among asset managers.

This development thus deserves careful reading in the current context.

While investors track every move of major funds to anticipate the next shock in the market, JPMorgan invites us to look elsewhere. In a new analysis, the American bank believes that the real threats weighing on public cryptos do not come from capital fluctuations, but from a much deeper transformation of their infrastructure.

Bitcoin rose by 1.2% on Thursday to reach $63,000. Nasdaq futures were not left behind, with a jump of 2.6%, and the markets seem little disturbed by the news of renewed US airstrikes on Iran.

The entry into force of MiCA was supposed to normalize the European crypto market, but recent revelations from Binance prove otherwise.
