Financial markets have their own memory, and cryptocurrencies are no exception. Thus, when an asset shows alarming similarities to a past crash, analysts sound the alarm. Ethereum, the second largest crypto on the market, sees its price plummet, reviving the specter of the March 2020 crash. Trader Ted Pillows claims that the current behavior of the ETH market almost mirrors the capitulation of that dark period, suggesting a scenario where the asset could drop to as low as 1400 dollars.

Bitcoin strengthens its hegemony in the crypto market, reaching a dominance of 61.2% according to recent data. This rise confirms the weariness of the recent altcoin rally, weakened by macroeconomic volatility. In the face of an uncertain context, investors are refocusing on BTC, perceived as a safe haven.

The former CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), has made waves in the crypto community by mentioning a possible "altcoin season" following the announcement of a record $2 billion investment in the platform. This statement comes in the context of a recovery in the crypto market and has sparked enthusiasm among investors.

The financial systems encountered significant disturbances at the start of 2025 after President Donald Trump enacted extensive import tariffs affecting Canada, Mexico, and China. President Trump initiated the new trade regulations, which imposed 25% duties on products from Canada and Mexico and 10% duties on Chinese exports to safeguard domestic businesses and correct commercial discrepancies. The tariffs caused disruptive effects throughout world markets, particularly in the cryptocurrency industry.

As the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows a slight decline in inflation, Bitcoin holds its breath. At 3.1%, the number is below expectations, but the king of crypto paradoxically plunges from $84,000 to $83,000 in just a few hours. A paradox? Not really. Between hopes for interest rate cuts and political maneuvering, the landscape is becoming more complex. An analysis of a scenario where Bitcoin, lying in wait, could surprise the markets.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may soon abandon its initiative to require certain crypto companies to register as exchanges. Mark Uyeda, acting chairman of the SEC, has asked the agency's teams to explore ways to waive this regulatory change.

The SEC's case against Ripple is reaching a decisive turning point. After more than four years of legal confrontation, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) appears ready to close this emblematic case. This trial, one of the most publicized in cryptocurrency history, has raised a fundamental question: Is XRP a financial security subject to U.S. stock market regulations? While the stakes extend far beyond Ripple and its native token, the outcome of the case could reshape the regulatory approach to cryptocurrencies in the United States.

The crypto market is unpredictable, as it fluctuates between periods of euphoria and significant corrections. Among the most followed assets, Pi Network is generating increasing interest. Within 24 hours, its price saw a staggering increase of 20%, reaching $1.74, despite a discount of 44% from its all-time high of $2.99. This sudden surge raises questions: is it a precursor signal for broader adoption or merely a speculative push fueled by strategic announcements? Two factors appear to have triggered this movement: the anticipation of Pi Day and rumors of a possible listing on Binance.

American Congressman Tom Emmer recently reaffirmed his support for stablecoins and his fierce opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDC), which he sees as a threat to citizens' financial freedom. During a recent address on March 11, 2025, Emmer once again presented his pro-stablecoin bill aimed at promoting these digital assets while curtailing the development of CBDCs in the United States.

The rapid rise of the Solana network at the beginning of the year seemed to herald a new era for its ecosystem. Fueled by an unprecedented speculative frenzy around memecoins, the blockchain recorded record revenues, reaching $55.3 million per week. However, the party was short-lived. Within weeks, the excitement evaporated, leading to a brutal collapse. Today, Solana's weekly revenues have fallen back to $4 million, a staggering drop of 93%. This sudden turnaround raises a central question: Can Solana survive the end of this euphoria and find a sustainable growth model? On one hand, the frenzied speculation around meme coins has revealed an undeniable pull of the network, but on the other hand, its dependence on these ultra-volatile tokens undermines the entire economy.

The crypto industry is holding its breath in the face of still hesitant regulation. While enthusiasm for crypto ETFs grows, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has just postponed its decision on an important request: the conversion of the Grayscale XRP Trust into an ETF. This delay, announced on Tuesday, highlights the increased regulatory challenges surrounding these assets, even as crypto-related financial products gain legitimacy among institutional investors. Amid regulatory uncertainties and the expansion strategies of major asset managers, the wait continues for supporters of an XRP ETF.

Global investment firm VanEck has just registered an Avalanche exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the state of Delaware, becoming one of the first issuers to pave the way for a spot AVAX ETF. This initiative comes paradoxically amid a significant decline in the AVAX token, which has lost more than half of its value since January 2025.

As Bitcoin hovers around $81,000, a massive transfer of nearly 12,000 BTC by the former defunct giant reignites speculation. Between the psychology of the players and invisible market mechanisms, a breakdown of a tremor that recalls the fragility of an ecosystem still marked by its ghosts. Did Mt. Gox just…

A bitcoin at $70K? Nothing to faint over! The market dances, retracts, but doesn't stumble. Those who wait will see the next act of the show.

Bitcoin has plunged to $76,700, marking its lowest level in four months amid global economic turmoil. Indeed, the 30% drop from its all-time high of $109,350 has reignited discussions about a possible trend reversal, as some observers question the sustainability of the bullish cycle. However, several indicators suggest that this correction could represent a strategic entry point for investors. On one hand, financial markets remain under pressure with persistent economic uncertainties, while on the other hand, the BTC derivatives market shows unexpected strength. So, has Bitcoin reached its ultimate floor before a rebound?

Financial and crypto markets continue to experience severe declines as investors await inflation data and the FED's decisions. Despite favorable regulatory advancements, Bitcoin and Ethereum are falling, in hope of a relief that will certainly come from the upcoming CPI and FOMC data. But what will it really be?

Peter Schiff, a well-known advocate for gold and a fierce critic of Bitcoin, did not miss the opportunity to mock crypto investors following the recent drop in prices. As Bitcoin lost nearly 30% of its value in just a few weeks, the economist threw out a provocative jab on social media.

Time no longer has control over the crypto markets. Coinbase has just broken free from fixed hours by announcing 24/7 trading of futures contracts on Bitcoin and Ethereum for American residents. This is a revolution that, beyond simplifying access, redefines the rules of the game in the face of fierce competition. But behind this boldness lie subtle stakes: regulation, technical innovation, and a battle to dominate a rapidly growing derivatives market.

Strategy's CEO, Michael Saylor, is planning a massive fundraising to continue accumulating Bitcoin. Already holding nearly 500,000 BTC, the company is launching an ambitious "ATM Program" that could transform the market.

European lawmakers maintain an intriguing silence in the face of Donald Trump's executive order aimed at creating a strategic reserve of bitcoin in the United States. While this decision marks a major turning point in global monetary policy, the lack of response in Europe raises questions: mere indifference or a response in preparation?

The crypto market is wavering, Bitcoin is collapsing, and CZ reminds us that history repeats itself: roller coasters, a thrill ride, and traders already regretting not having sold.

The crypto market is going through a phase of uncertainty, where every technical indicator is scrutinized closely. Solana, long considered one of the most promising projects in the sector, finds itself at a decisive crossroads today. As its price records a notable drop, a feared signal from analysts threatens to increase the pressure: the death cross. This technical event, often interpreted as a bearish indicator, could well influence investor behavior and trigger a new cycle of volatility. But is this signal really heralding a prolonged downtrend, or could it precede an unexpected rebound?

The world of cryptocurrencies is used to spectacular fluctuations, but certain fund movements raise more questions than others. In the span of a week, $1.8 billion of ETH left exchanges. Such a volume of withdrawals had not been observed since December 2022, raising questions about the market's state and investors' strategies. Should this be seen as a sign of mistrust towards Ethereum or, conversely, as a mark of confidence in its long-term valuation potential? Between bullish interpretation and economic uncertainty, this dynamic could reshape the landscape of the crypto market.
