The plot thickens in the FTX crypto case: SBF's parents are seeking clemency from Trump! The details in this article.
The status of the US dollar in the global economy once again causes tensions. While the BRICS seek to free themselves from its hegemony, Donald Trump brushed aside any possibility of dedollarization. "There is no chance that the BRICS will replace the US dollar in international trade or elsewhere," he stated. This declaration comes at a time when China, Russia, and their allies are intensifying their efforts to limit their dependence on the greenback, particularly through exchanges in local currencies and the establishment of alternative financial infrastructures. Behind this statement from the American president, one question arises: is the dollar really unassailable, or are we witnessing the beginnings of a new monetary order?

Gold, the euro, stocks... and Bitcoin in the Czech vault? Finance wavers between daring and caution, and Prague dances on a tightrope between volatility and ambition.
The integration of bitcoin into the reserves of central banks deeply divides economic actors. On one side, some governors advocate for a diversification of assets to adapt monetary strategies to a changing world. On the other, the European Central Bank (ECB) takes a firm stance and categorically rejects any legitimacy of bitcoin as a store of value. This debate has taken on a new dimension following Christine Lagarde's statements. When asked at a press conference, the ECB president abruptly dismissed speculation, asserting that bitcoin did not meet any of the required criteria to be included in the central banks' reserves: "liquid, safe, and secure." This stance contrasts with that of the governor of the Czech National Bank, Aleš Michl, who is open to the idea of exploring new asset classes. This growing divergence illustrates the rift between a conservative approach to the financial system and a more pragmatic vision, championed by some decision-makers who seek to anticipate upcoming monetary transformations.
The crypto market is undergoing a profound transformation, and Bitcoin is more than ever the central element of the digital financial landscape. While previous cycles saw altcoins capitalize on BTC's rise to gain ground, the current dynamics are taking an unprecedented turn. Institutional investors are massively favoring Bitcoin, neglecting thousands of tokens that continue to proliferate. Its dominance index surged by 15.5% in January 2025, reaching nearly 59%, a level that illustrates a clear imbalance between BTC and the rest of the market. This rise to power is not solely due to the influx of capital. Political decisions, ETF performances, and the exhaustion of altcoins are contributing to reinforce the supremacy of the king of crypto. In light of these transformations, is Bitcoin on the verge of permanently detaching itself from the traditional crypto market?

In a constantly changing world, where every political decision redraws the contours of power, a major phenomenon is emerging: the rise of the BRICS. This acronym, once seen as a symbolic grouping of major emerging economies, now asserts itself as a driving force of geopolitical balance. With the recent expansion of this bloc to new influential members, the global landscape is enriched with unprecedented dynamics, challenging the hegemony of Western institutions. While Donald Trump embarks on a second term in the United States, focused on a protectionist and isolationist policy, the rise of the BRICS represents a strategic challenge with profound implications.

The semiconductor industry has become the battleground of a technological war between the United States and China. Washington, concerned about preserving its strategic advantage in artificial intelligence, has already imposed several restrictions on the export of high-performance chips. Despite these measures, China has continued to make progress, prompting Donald Trump to consider further tightening the limitations aimed at Nvidia. This project could reshape the balances of the global AI market and weaken American companies. Between national security imperatives and economic stakes, this decision fits into a strategy aimed at curbing Beijing's technological rise. However, the effectiveness of these restrictions remains uncertain, as Chinese companies double down on efforts to circumvent these sanctions and develop their own alternatives.

Every decision made by the American Federal Reserve shapes the global economy and influences the cost of credit, the direction of investments, and the stability of financial markets. At its first meeting of 2025, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) chose to keep interest rates unchanged, despite Donald Trump's persistent calls for monetary easing. This status quo caused a contrasting shock wave: stock indices, from Nasdaq to Dow Jones, closed lower, while Bitcoin surged by 2.5%. Thus, this movement underscores once again the unique trajectory of cryptocurrencies, which seem to diverge from traditional economic logics.
