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 bitcoin market is moving, twitching, hesitating… and with it, the emotions of investors. Here are the 5 key points to absolutely know this week to avoid navigating blindly in this turbulent sea.

Amid revolutionary announcements, technological advancements, and regulatory turbulence, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove that it is both a territory of limitless innovations and a battleground of regulatory and economic disputes. Here is a summary of the most significant news from the past week surrounding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, Solana, and Ripple.

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?

Bitcoin mining has never been a walk in the park, but lately, it has become downright arduous. The sector has to juggle a delicate equation: a hashprice that remains stagnant, increasing difficulty, and transaction fees melting away like snow in the sun. The result? Several miners will soon have to hang up their hats…

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.

Bitcoin gets a breather: crossing the $85,000 threshold with panache pushes the abyss away. A relief? Or the calm before the next storm?

Bitcoin is wavering, experiencing a loss of over 20% since its all-time high, reviving fears of a sharp reversal. However, some see it as merely a pause in an ongoing cycle. For Timothy Peterson, this decline remains moderate compared to previous bear markets and fits into a classic consolidation phase rather than a structural collapse.

Take a deep breath: Bitcoin now represents 1.3% of the world's currency, with a market cap flirting with 1.7 trillion dollars. Yes, you read that right. A small piece of code born in 2009 has made its way to the same table as heavyweights like the US dollar (20.9 trillion dollars) or gold (20.2 trillion dollars). We may still be a long way from flipping the table, but clearly, Satoshi has set his napkin down well.

As Bitcoin hovers around $85,000, a subtle tension stirs in the markets. Behind this apparent resistance lies a paradoxical movement: the "whales" are quietly preparing their offensive. Their strategy? Massive bets against it, despite a technical rebound that would make optimists dream. A risky game, indicative of unprecedented mistrust, but also of an invisible battle where every dollar counts.

As the digital gold of Bitcoin attracts the crowds, the shadow of Ethereum thickens, abandoned, drained, powerless to entice the trembling hands of the crypto market.

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.

Bitcoin wavers after its surge beyond 100,000 dollars. The ongoing correction rekindles tensions in the markets, fueling doubts about the strength of the bullish trend. While the threshold of 65,000 dollars resurfaces in analysts' projections, the specter of a reversal looms. Between hopes of consolidation and fears of a bearish cycle, uncertainty prevails.

Normandy could soon host the first bitcoin mining farm in France, financed by the Sultanate of Oman.

At a time when energy sovereignty is becoming central, this initiative raises questions about the role that France wants to play in the global crypto ecosystem.

The Bitcoin bull hesitates, the crowds are not rushing... or perhaps they already have, quietly, through an unexpected path that no chart had traced.

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.

The alignment of the planets continues. While the United States wants to accumulate "as many bitcoins as possible," the global money supply is climbing again.

Ah, the SEC... that watchdog of the crypto markets that sometimes gives us cold sweats. But this time, it has decided to put away its whistle and offer us a little breath of fresh air.

Bitcoin remains around $84,000 after a turbulent and disappointing session for investors, marked by President Trump's statements at the Digital Asset Summit, which did not meet the high market expectations.

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?
