What if your digital wallet became your bank? This is the bet that Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, seems to want to take with Worldcoin. According to sources close to the matter, Tools for Humanity, the company behind this project, is negotiating with Visa to create a payment wallet in stablecoin. An alliance between crypto boldness and traditional financial infrastructure. The goal: to transform the World Wallet into a universal "mini-bank account." But behind this promise lie challenges as complex as the irises scanned by Worldcoin.

The Japanese company Metaplanet, listed in Tokyo, announced the acquisition of an additional 150 bitcoins, bringing its portfolio to 3,350 BTC. A decision made just a few days after the appointment of the son of the former American president to its advisory board. Behind these figures lies a bold maneuver: to transform Metaplanet into a global giant of bitcoin reserves. But why this sudden appetite for the queen of crypto, and what role does Eric Trump play in this equation?

While BlackRock sees the recession as a springboard for bitcoin, the Federal Reserve cools the enthusiasm for crypto. Between bold predictions and economic warnings, the market navigates troubled waters.

Until April, crypto markets will feel the aftershocks of a deep-rooted economic storm. An explosive mix of geopolitical tensions and interest rate rigidity is stifling risk appetite. But behind this chaos lie opportunities. Decoding.

Against all odds, BlackRock, the global asset management giant, is shaking up conventional wisdom about Bitcoin. While cryptocurrencies are often associated with volatility and risk, Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, debunks this narrative. In a context where Bitcoin has lost 20% of its value since its peak at the end of 2023, his recent statements on CNBC resonate like a bold advocacy. Why does a traditional institution defend such a disruptive vision? The answer lies in a subtle strategy and a deep understanding of market evolution.

The European Union is undergoing a discreet yet persistent revolution. A recent report from Oobit, a platform specialized in crypto payments, reveals that 70% of crypto transactions on its network are absorbed by retail, food, and beverages. This figure shatters the clichés about the marginal use of cryptocurrencies. But how can we explain this silent infiltration into the daily lives of Europeans? Between regulatory adoption and economic pragmatism, the landscape is reshaping.

2025 could mark a point of no return for crypto. As traditional markets navigate between uncertainties and capricious interest rates, financial institutions seem to have found their new compass: digital assets. According to a recent study by Coinbase and EY-Parthenon, 83% of institutional investors plan to increase their allocations to crypto starting next year. A shocking figure that conceals a more complex reality, but above all, a profound transformation of investment strategies. Far from clichés about volatility, crypto is becoming a pillar of institutional portfolios.

Is the euro doomed to drift according to monetary policies and geopolitical tensions? Michael Saylor, a prominent figure in bitcoin, is convinced of this. In a striking tweet — "EUR gonna need BTC" — the CEO of MicroStrategy warns about the future of the European currency. While the United States is massively adopting cryptocurrencies, the Eurozone hesitates, caught between sovereignty and the risk of obsolescence.

The euphoria of the February peaks has evaporated. Bitcoin, after flirting with $109,000, is now wobbling around $82,000, revealing a reality more complex than it appears. According to the latest report from Glassnode, signed by researchers Cryptovizart and Ukuria OC, the market faces an unprecedented liquidity crisis, compounded by a growing rift among investors. A contrasting picture that raises the question: is Bitcoin at a critical turning point or simply in a phase of consolidation?

The Dogecoin is once again flashing on the radars. At $0.13, it teeters on the edge of a technical precipice… or a springboard. The charts whisper a contradictory story: oversold indicators, weakened historical supports, but also signals that have preceded rallies of +400% in 2024. So, is DOGE a neglected gem or a trap for speculators? Crypto experts lean towards the former option... provided the stars align.

Bitcoin is wobbling. In three months, a staggering drop of 30%: from $109,590 to $77,041. Bitfinex dissects this debacle. Behind the sawtooth charts, a narrative is woven: panic of small investors, desertion of institutions, and a grinding macroeconomy. But is this crisis a shipwreck or a wave to surf?

The crypto landscape is staggering. Exchange-traded products (ETPs), those much-admired investment vehicles, are facing an unprecedented hemorrhage. Since mid-February, 1.7 billion dollars have evaporated from crypto funds, according to CoinShares. A sequence of 17 consecutive days of outflows. Behind these brutal figures lie complex dynamics: increased mistrust, chain reactions, and surprising paradoxes.

For several weeks now, bitcoin has been swaying. A drop of 22% from its historical peak at $109,000 in mid-January is fueling doubts. Is this the end of a four-year cycle, deeply embedded in the crypto market's DNA, or just a simple turbulence before a new surge? Analysts lean towards the latter option, but the nuances deserve to be explored.
