The world of crypto could experience a historic change with Donald Trump's return to the White House.

Among his promises are the creation of a strategic reserve of bitcoins and the establishment of policies favorable to crypto businesses. These initiatives, which demonstrate a desire for a break from the previous administration, evoke a mix of hope and skepticism within the industry. While his supporters praise a bold vision for the future of crypto, observers remind us of the many obstacles that will arise in the realization of these projects, whether political, economic, or regulatory.

The year 2023 marked a significant break in the evolution of the wealth of French households. After eight consecutive years of growth, it experienced a decline to 14,567 billion euros, a drop of 0.9% compared to 2022. This downturn, confirmed by a study from Insee and the Bank of France, sheds light on profound changes in the French economy. Mainly attributable to the drop in real estate prices, this phenomenon reflects the impact of recent monetary decisions, notably the increase in the European Central Bank's key interest rates, which has raised the cost of loans and dampened demand. Real estate, once an essential driver of household wealth, has been at the center of this crisis. Furthermore, prices, down by 4.7%, have weighed heavily on national wealth, although the 8.3% increase in financial assets has partially mitigated the losses.
