Bitcoin Stays Near 81000 As Oil And Tensions Rise
Donald Trump's rejection of an Iranian ceasefire proposal immediately shook global markets. Oil prices crossed the $100 mark, US futures fell, and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz returned to the forefront of concerns. In this nervous climate, Bitcoin nevertheless surprises by its stability around $81,000. Such behavior contrasts with previous geopolitical crises.

CLARITY Act: Stablecoins Yield, DeFi and Ethics at the Heart of the May 14 Vote
The US Senate reaches a critical moment for digital assets. After several months of tensions, the banking committee is set to review the CLARITY Act this Thursday, a much-anticipated bill to regulate a large portion of the crypto market in the United States.

US Equities A Handful Of Stocks Dominate Century Gains
For nearly a century, American markets have produced 91 trillion dollars of wealth for shareholders. Yet, this value creation relies almost entirely on a handful of companies. A study conducted by economist Hendrik Bessembinder on nearly 30,000 listed stocks between 1926 and 2025 shows that only 46 companies concentrate half of the gains generated on Wall Street. Behind the historical performances of American indices, the market reality appears much more unbalanced than it seems.

Bitget IPO Prime Targets the $4 Trillion AI Market With OpenAI
Bitget is pushing deeper into tokenized private-market access with preOPAI, a Solana-based product tied to OpenAI's potential future public listing.

Europe Divided On Stablecoin Strategy
The digital euro is no longer just a technological subject, as it becomes a battlefield for political confrontation at the summit of European institutions. By calling for increased private sector involvement in the tokenization of the euro, Denis Beau, Deputy Governor of the Bank of France, distances himself from Christine Lagarde and the cautious line of the ECB. Behind this disagreement lies a strategic battle over European monetary sovereignty, as dollar-backed stablecoins continue to dominate the global digital finance landscape.

Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask and the Ethereum Foundation join forces against the flaw that cost Bybit $1.5B
Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, WalletConnect and the Ethereum Foundation want to close one of the most dangerous breaches in crypto: blind signing. Behind this cold term lies a simple gesture. The user validates a transaction without clearly understanding what it will trigger. The issue became impossible to ignore after the Bybit hack. In February 2025, the exchange acknowledged that an attacker had taken control of an Ether wallet and transferred about 1.5 billion dollars worth of assets to an unknown address. Reuters had then reported that only the Ether cold wallet was affected, according to Bybit CEO Ben Zhou.

Bitcoin ETF Rebound Led By Morgan Stanley
Institutional capital is beginning to shift direction in the American crypto market. While Bitcoin regains inflows thanks to Morgan Stanley, ETFs linked to XRP and Solana now attract a growing share of flows. Driven by expectations around the Clarity Act, this movement contrasts with the persistent weakness of Ethereum ETFs and reveals a gradual repositioning of investors on assets most exposed to the future American regulatory framework.
