In a world where finance and politics are increasingly intertwined, the launch of the memecoin Trump by Donald Trump and his sons has caused shockwaves in the markets. What could have been a crypto branding operation has turned into a brutal game of musical chairs, where early players pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars, leaving behind a tide of disappointed losers. In just a few hours, savvy traders multiplied their bets exponentially and benefited from a speculative surge that drove the token price to $75 before it collapsed. While the phenomenon of memecoins is nothing new, Donald Trump's direct involvement raises questions about ethics, regulation, and the future of political cryptocurrencies.

The evolution of the crypto market often relies on subtle signals that only savvy investors know how to interpret. Among these, the inflows to accumulation addresses are closely monitored, as they help anticipate bullish trends. On February 7th, these addresses recorded a record influx of $883 million in Ethereum (ETH), an event that, historically, precedes major price increases. As competition among blockchains intensifies and the regulatory framework evolves, this massive accumulation of ETH raises a crucial question: Is Ethereum preparing for a new peak at $4,000 and beyond?

The crypto industry is going through an unprecedented phase of proliferation. With nearly 11 million tokens listed on CoinMarketCap, the market is facing dynamics that could redefine its equilibrium. This rapid expansion raises essential questions: Are we witnessing market saturation or a natural evolution of the crypto ecosystem? Between speculative enthusiasm and growing concerns about the viability of this multiplication of assets, the year 2025 marks a decisive turning point.

The crypto market continues to face regulatory uncertainties in the United States. While institutional investors were hoping for a major breakthrough with the introduction of Ethereum ETF options, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again postponed its decision. This choice underscores the caution of the financial authority, despite the precedent set by Bitcoin ETF options, which are already in place. Behind this delay lies a whole segment of the crypto finance that remains suspended under still vague regulations, caught between growth potential and increased control by authorities.

The rapid rise of AI-backed cryptocurrencies in 2024 heralded a decisive turning point for the convergence between blockchain and AI. Fueled by market euphoria and enthusiasm for agentic AIs, these assets attracted massive capital flows, propelling their valuations to unprecedented heights. However, the enthusiasm evaporated as quickly as it appeared: within just a few months, some of these tokens lost up to 90% of their value. This collapse raises critical questions about the viability of these projects and the strength of the market. Are investors facing a mere correction after a speculative surge, or are we witnessing the beginnings of a lasting disinterest?

The Ethereum derivatives markets have just recorded their largest outflow of ETH since August 2023, with over 300,000 ETH withdrawn from exchanges on February 6, 2025. This massive movement, amounting to approximately $817.2 million, comes amid increased market volatility.

The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) has tightened the noose on cryptocurrencies. On February 5, the regulator excluded crypto funds from reduced margin eligibility, citing their high volatility and liquidity risks.

The crypto market has always been marked by periods of extreme volatility, where panic and opportunities intersect in an instant. Indeed, the recent crash on February 3rd once again illustrated this reality. While XRP plummeted sharply to $1.78, some investors, far from succumbing to panic, seized the opportunity to massively bolster their positions. Among them, Korean traders played a key role. They bought large volumes, allowing XRP to rebound above $2 in record time. But, is this sudden influx of liquidity a sustainable bullish signal or just a temporary reaction from Asian markets?

Financial markets have their prophecies, and those of the crypto world are no exception. Indeed, when a $100 billion asset manager like VanEck makes an ambitious prediction such as Solana (SOL) rising to $520 by the end of 2025, the crypto ecosystem stops, observes, and analyzes. Should this be seen as a reliable indicator or an excess of optimism? This announcement is already provoking reactions from investors and analysts. Between technological prospects and market realities, let's revisit this forecast that could reshape the crypto landscape.

Cryptocurrencies continue to divide the academic and financial world. While some see them as an inevitable monetary revolution, others persist in viewing them as a bubble destined to burst. Eugene Fama, a renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner, has thrown a stone into the pond by claiming that Bitcoin is doomed to become worthless. According to him, fundamental economic principles make its long-term survival impossible. A radical prediction that provokes numerous reactions, particularly in a context where BTC continues to be adopted by financial institutions and governments.

Bitcoin maintains its position around 98,000 dollars at the opening of Wall Street on February 6, as analysts closely scrutinize technical indicators to anticipate the next direction of the market.

Traditional finance and bitcoin are continuing to draw closer. Following the resounding success of its Bitcoin ETF IBIT in the United States, BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, is preparing to take a new step: the launch of a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Product (ETP) in Europe. This fund, which will be domiciled in Switzerland, reflects the growing desire of financial institutions to establish a lasting presence in the crypto market. While the United States has seen Bitcoin ETFs capture more than $57 billion in assets in just a few months, this new product could change the European landscape. Why Switzerland rather than another country? What will be the effects on investors and the institutional adoption of bitcoin in Europe? These are all questions that arise as BlackRock accelerates its international offensive.

Solana signs a spectacular performance in the fourth quarter of 2024 with a 213% increase in revenue generated by its applications, amounting to $840 million compared to $268 million in the previous quarter. This rapid surge is based on the explosion of memecoin trading, as well as the rise of tokens related to artificial intelligence. Once criticized for its repeated outages, the blockchain now establishes itself as a key player in the sector, attracting traders, developers, and investors. This swift transformation, indicated by Messari, illustrates Solana's evolution towards a more structured ecosystem, fueled by growing adoption and a massive influx of liquidity.

Crypto traders are disoriented by a market that no longer reacts according to traditional patterns, despite an apparently favorable context with the pro-crypto initiatives of the U.S. government.

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a new phase of instability, with XRP at the forefront. Within a few hours, its price saw a dramatic drop of 31%, before rebounding with a similar intensity. This extreme movement has created doubt among investors, torn between hope for a recovery and fear of a mere technical bounce. In this context, Bollinger Bands, a key technical indicator, are delivering mixed signals. If XRP manages to stabilize above its median threshold, a new bullish momentum could emerge. Conversely, a return to recent lows remains a credible hypothesis. This extreme volatility puts investors in a decisive position: to hold their positions betting on a recovery or to reduce their exposure to limit risks.

The crypto market is going through a period of instability, and Solana (SOL) is on the front lines. Since February 1st, the drop of Bitcoin below $100,000 has caused a shockwave across altcoins. Solana, whose price moves in strong correlation with BTC, has seen its price fall below the critical threshold of $200. The impact has not been limited to price declines: investors have massively reduced their exposure, leading to a withdrawal of $367 million from spot markets in three days. This massive liquidation has reversed market sentiment, as evidenced by a long/short ratio dropping to 0.93, confirming seller dominance. While technical indicators signal sustained bearish pressure, a break of current support levels could send Solana to new lows, unless a sudden surge in demand comes to reverse the trend.

The crypto market has just experienced an unprecedented financial tsunami. In 24 hours, 2.24 billion dollars evaporated under the blows of trade wars, propelling Ethereum to the forefront of a historic debacle. A massive liquidation, driven by Donald Trump's surprise announcement on customs duties, shattered the records of the FTX crisis and the COVID-19 crash. Behind these dizzying numbers, over 730,000 traders saw their positions turned to ashes. How could a political tweet shake a decentralized ecosystem? Let's dive into the machinery of this debacle.

The crypto market is experiencing significant instability, and XRP is bearing the brunt of it. Indeed, the asset linked to Ripple has plunged by 25%, reaching an unprecedented low in several weeks. This brutal correction is not limited to XRP. Bitcoin has dropped by 6.35%, while Dogecoin has recorded nearly a 25% loss. This widespread pullback can be explained by an explosive cocktail of economic tensions and heightened speculative movements. The uncertainty surrounding traditional financial markets, particularly in the United States, fuels crypto volatility. In this context, one question remains: is XRP beginning a new descent, or is this a strategic low for opportunistic investors?

Bitcoin asserts its dominant position against altcoins. The queen of cryptos sees its market share cross the symbolic threshold of 60% on February 2, while altcoins suffer significant losses following the new trade measures imposed by President Trump.

Ethereum (ETH) is drastically down to $3000, and despite that, some traders are still managing to profit from this downward trend. This is the case for a savvy investor, who has made nearly 16 million dollars in gains by betting against the crypto! So, is Ethereum more profitable during a downturn?

The stablecoin market has just crossed a historic milestone, reaching a market capitalization of over $200 billion. This rapid progression reflects a growing interest from investors in these dollar-backed assets, often perceived as a more stable alternative amidst the volatility of cryptocurrencies. While Tether (USDT) still dominates the market with $139.4 billion, the current dynamics indicate a rise of USDC, whose capitalization has more than doubled in three months. This shift in balance raises strategic questions: are we witnessing a mere redistribution of capital or a precursor signal of a major turning point for the crypto market?

The crypto industry is evolving at a breakneck pace, with some players managing to establish themselves well beyond their original ecosystem. Tether, the undisputed leader of the stablecoin market, has just released a financial statement that illustrates its rapid ascent. In 2024, the company generated $13 billion in profits, while its reserves in U.S. Treasury bonds surpassed $113 billion, making it one of the largest global holders of these securities. At the same time, the issuance of USD₮ has reached a record level, with $45 billion injected into the market. While these performances confirm Tether's financial strength, they also raise questions about its macroeconomic impact and the regulatory challenges ahead.
