The crypto market is coming out of its lethargy: the open interest on Bitcoin futures has just exceeded $82.4 billion, an unprecedented level since speculative euphoria phases.

Less than 48 hours after hovering near a peak at 124,000 dollars, bitcoin falls below 117,000 while ether drops to 4,400.

BlackRock, a Wall Street giant, is now opening up to leading cryptos like ether. This institutional shift changes the game in the crypto ecosystem. However, for Michael Saylor, a leading figure of MicroStrategy, a hierarchy is imposed: bitcoin remains the benchmark. And even if Ethereum shines, he refuses to grant it the same status.
After reaching an unprecedented high of $123,000, bitcoin begins a clear slowdown. The euphoria of recent weeks gives way to a consolidation phase, where every market movement is closely scrutinized.
