While leveraged traders were racking up losses, some institutions quietly took the opportunity to strengthen their positions.
In a context where crypto is infiltrating the corridors of power, an accusation shakes Washington. Representative Maxine Waters, a key figure of the Financial Services Committee, accuses Donald Trump of manipulating the legislative chessboard to impose his own crypto interests.

At the start of this year, amid high geopolitical tension, dedollarization emerges as a strong signal of a global monetary shift. Once relegated to the background of economic debate, this dynamic is intensifying as confidence in the stability of the United States erodes.

To understand this inertia, one must go beyond this analysis and follow the true signals of the market.
While European markets are experiencing a technical rise, attention turns to Washington.

A shocking statement that fractures diplomatic balances and elicits reactions even in European capitals, at a time when the slightest tension can redefine the global geopolitical chessboard.
