FTX has not finished making history in crypto. Nearly four years after the bankruptcy that shook the industry, the platform reaches a new milestone in repaying its former clients.

This massive redistribution of capital could revive market activity and measure, for the first time on a large scale, the real impact of a crypto bankruptcy on the entire ecosystem.

Binance.US is preparing a bold offensive on prediction markets. With a CFTC license in sight, BNB could explode... or collapse. All the keys to understand this risky strategy that could change everything for crypto.

Binance remains the largest crypto exchange platform in the world. However, it has not been accessible to French residents since July 1, 2026, due to the lack of MiCA approval.

Here is our analysis, and the alternatives still on the table.

The regulatory architecture of cryptos in Europe is entering a new era of unprecedented harmonization, redrawing overnight the operational boundaries of the sector's largest global players. This historic change materializes with the effective entry into force of the regulation on the crypto market (MiCA) throughout the European Union. Such a major legislative transition is no longer a distant theoretical deadline, but a binding reality disrupting exchange platforms not yet fully authorized under this unified regime. Thus, Binance, the global exchange giant, is forced to stop its crypto-related services in several EU markets, as it did not obtain the necessary authorizations in time.

The judicial and regulatory noose tightens further around the historic giants of the crypto ecosystem, reminding us that the past always catches up with the boldest players. As the industry strives to group under increasingly strict compliance banners, strategic decisions made at the heart of the previous bull bubble come back to haunt its flagship figures. This dynamic is perfectly illustrated by the litigation on British soil involving the world's leading exchange platform and its emblematic founder.

A question to start with. If tomorrow your crypto platform lost the right to operate in Europe, where would you go? It sounds theoretical. It is not.

A contest with one million euros, and zero Futures fees on Kraken Pro for both new and existing Kraken users.

Coinbase quickly identified the cause of the problem and gradually restored the network sequencing.

As the major regulatory deadlines approach, the global crypto ecosystem is undergoing an unprecedented restructuring phase that redefines the balance of power among industry giants. The countdown is now underway for the definitive application of the crypto market regulation (MiCA) in the European Union on July 1, 2026. This historic law aims to harmonize the industry across the Old Continent, forcing exchange platforms to choose between strict compliance or simple exclusion from a strategic market of over 450 million consumers. Just days from this legislative deadline, the two American and international figures of trading are separated by a spectacular rift.

The global crypto industry is currently undergoing a profound structural transformation where old economic models based on transaction volumes are no longer sufficient to ensure the financial survival of industry giants. It is in this very context of global market rationalization that Coinbase, one of the world’s leading regulated exchange platforms, seeks to redefine its operational destiny. Faced with a prolonged decline in spot trading volumes and the ongoing erosion of standard commissions applied to retail clients, the American company is deploying an aggressive roadmap focused on diversifying its revenue sources.
