This rapid growth is not by chance but the result of a structural change in usage, tools, and trader confidence.

The cryptocurrency ecosystem has just experienced a major turning point with the announcement of a strategic partnership between Kraken, one of the most respected exchange platforms in the world, and Circle, the undisputed leader in stablecoins.

This Tuesday, a 4.27-meter golden statue depicting Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, briefly took its place in front of the Capitol in Washington. This spectacular installation comes a few days after the presidential pardon granted by Donald Trump to CZ, convicted in 2023 for violations of anti-money laundering laws. In a climate where crypto figures are increasingly occupying public space, this unexpected tribute marks a symbolic turning point between justice, political power, and the cult of blockchain innovation.

In a crypto sector marked by insolvency scandals, led by FTX, financial transparency has become a decisive criterion for investors. OKX, one of the leading global exchange platforms, has understood this well: since October 2022, it has been publishing its Proof of Reserves (PoR) monthly, a cryptographic report that allows verification that user deposits are actually covered by real assets. With its 29th report published on March 31, 2025, the exchange shows 24.6 billion dollars in primary assets and a reserve ratio above 100%. But what exactly does this proof of reserves mean? And why does OKX stand out in this area?

The pardon granted to Changpeng Zhao by Donald Trump marks a turning point in the relationship between political power and the crypto industry in the United States.

Donald Trump granted a pardon to Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of Binance, reigniting debates on the links between political power and the crypto industry. In a context of increased regulation, this act raises questions about the growing influence of platforms in the public sphere. The decision, confirmed by the White House, triggered an immediate market reaction and revived tensions around conflicts of interest between the political sphere and financial technologies.

By pardoning Changpeng Zhao, Donald Trump not only signs a legal act but sends a strong signal to the crypto industry. The founder of Binance, convicted in 2023 for violations of anti-money laundering legislation, regains his freedom by a decision that contrasts with the hardline stance of the Biden administration. In a tense climate around crypto regulation, this gesture repositions Trump as a strategic ally of the sector and could breathe new life into Binance’s American ambitions.

BNB, Binance's flagship crypto, finally makes its debut on two of the largest American platforms: Coinbase and Robinhood. Long excluded from the mainstream US markets, often for compliance reasons, the asset crosses a major strategic threshold. Now listed on platforms accessible to millions of investors, BNB gains formal recognition that contrasts with its past as an asset confined to the Binance ecosystem. This shift says a lot about the evolution of the American crypto market and the gradual normalization of certain long-controversial assets.

In Brussels, a subtle power struggle is shaping the future of crypto regulation in Europe. France, at the forefront, intends to influence the implementation of the MiCA regulation and establish itself as the center of gravity for platform oversight.

Binance, a flagship among targeted exchanges, becomes a symbol of a strategic showdown.

Coinbase is preparing to list BNB, the flagship token of its historic rival Binance. Such an unexpected gesture contrasts with past tensions between the two giants. In a climate of enhanced regulation and strategic repositioning, this decision could mark a turning point in the power dynamics of the sector. Calculated opportunism or signal of appeasement? This rapprochement intrigues as much as it raises questions.

What traps to avoid? This article analyzes the "Autumn's Lucky Times" campaign rigorously.

On October 10, as markets plunged following a shock announcement from Washington on tariffs targeting China, over 200 billion dollars evaporated in a few hours.

The speculative euphoria driving memecoins on the BNB Chain was abruptly interrupted. Within a few hours, several popular tokens saw their value plunge by more than 30%, causing a widespread retreat and cascading liquidations.

Coinbase dreams of being the Robin Hood of crypto: $12,000 for poor young people, a banking license behind the scenes... and the future of banks shaking to the rhythm of stablecoins.

Three years after the FTX collapse, Sam Bankman-Fried breaks his silence again from his cell. The fallen former billionaire, convicted for massive fraud, delivers an unexpected confession.

A choice he now considers the point of no return in the collapse of his crypto empire.

Samsung and Coinbase join forces to take a leap in crypto adoption. Asset purchases are now accessible directly via Samsung Wallet on Galaxy smartphones.

As airdrop valued at 600 million dollars approaches, the decentralized platform Aster faces a crucial strategic choice.

Between loyalty, speculation and stability, Aster plays a decisive card for its short and medium-term future.
