The crypto ecosystem is constantly evolving, marked by cycles of euphoria and correction. In recent months, the excitement for memecoins, these highly speculative assets, seemed to indicate a new wave of transient exuberance. However, a shift is occurring: Bitcoin and layer 1 blockchains are gradually taking center stage again, a phenomenon that could mark a decisive turn for the market.

According to Santiment, traders' attention is now focusing on fundamental cryptos, to the detriment of ultra-speculative assets. This reorientation could reflect a collective awareness.

The cryptocurrency market is once again heating up, with Bitcoin surpassing $97,000 after a brief correction below $95,000. This new rally, far from being trivial, occurs as institutional and retail data indicate a weakening in demand. While this asset appears to move independently of the fundamentals specific to cryptocurrencies, it is actually being caught up in an uncertain macroeconomic context. As trade tensions between the United States and China fuel market nervousness, Bitcoin continues to attract attention. Investment flows, sentiment indicators, and the structure of derivative products indicate a growing caution.

Ethereum is at the center of unprecedented selling pressure. While Bitcoin continues to deliver strong performances, the second-largest cryptocurrency is struggling to regain its shine.

“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.

While the phenomenon of memecoins is nothing new, Donald Trump's direct involvement raises questions about ethics, regulation, and the future of political cryptocurrencies.

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?
