While the United States bets on open regulation of stablecoins with the GENIUS Act, China takes a more discreet approach. In Shanghai, a closed-door meeting among regulators reveals a willingness to experiment, without easing control.
For a long time, bitcoin reigned supreme as the uncontested master of the cryptocurrency realm, particularly in the area of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). But today, a turning point is taking place. Discreetly, methodically, Ethereum is beginning to nibble away at market shares and is capturing the attention of institutional investors. A recent report from CoinShares highlights this astonishing dynamic: ether is no longer just following; it is asserting itself. Behind the numbers lies a reality taking hold: the dominance of bitcoin in crypto ETFs is no longer so evident.
The crypto market has just crossed a symbolic threshold: $3.8 trillion in capitalization. This is more than Amazon's valuation, almost as much as the GDP of the United Kingdom. Far from a simple bullish cycle, this surge propels cryptocurrencies to the status of systemic players. A turning point that reshuffles the cards: this market is no longer peripheral; it now competes with major economic powers. While financial capitals observe, the cryptosphere sets its own pace and redraws the contours of the global economy.
As he multiplies signals of firmness on the international stage, Donald Trump has imposed a 50-day ultimatum on Russia to end the war in Ukraine. This forceful statement, widely commented upon in diplomatic and military circles, has also triggered an unexpected upheaval in the financial markets.

The climate of uncertainty created by this presidential warning fuels both political speculation and economic turbulence.

Sometimes, all it takes is a single week of silence to sow doubt. When Michael Saylor stopped his weekly bitcoin purchases, speculation ran rampant. Strategic pause or sign of fatigue? The answer hit skeptics like a slap in the face: a massive new buyback of BTC, accompanied by a colossal fundraising effort. Saylor's obsession with the digital asset is only intensifying, and behind this frantic accumulation lies a much more ambitious logic than that of a mere speculative bet.
The crypto market, usually marked by spikes in volatility, displays a puzzling calm. While Bitcoin flirts with historical highs, flows to exchange platforms are collapsing.

Bitcoin surpasses $120,000, but there is no euphoria across the web. Unlike previous peaks, this meteoric rise is not causing any popular excitement or a surge in searches.

Over the past week, the OG coin witnessed consecutive days of price increases, reaching an all-time high of $âŻ118,731 on July 11. Despite this remarkable feat, data shows that the apex coinâs dominance has faded slightly.

As Bitcoin soars to new heights, some analysts shout about rational euphoria. Others, more cautious, remind us that the party may be short-lived.
