The day marks a turning point for the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin reaching $69,000, setting new all-time highs and capturing the attention of global investors. At the same time, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $517 million, the highest figure in the last three and a half months, indicating a renewed sense of institutional confidence following a period of apparent hesitation. This inflow of capital forms part of a broader wave of excitement fuelled by new US economic policies and investors’ willingness to bet on the sector once again. The main driver behind the rally is the US Treasury…

The cryptocurrency sector is undergoing a period of profound change, driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence and the growing tokenisation of markets. Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, highlights a perspective that many are underestimating by a factor of ten or even a hundred when it comes to actual activity on blockchains: the arrival of AI agents in tokenised markets promises an exponential increase in transactions, revolutionising the way value and information circulate globally. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin is at the centre of renewed attention. John Darsie, CEO of SALT and a partner at SkyBridge, identifies the $100,000 mark as…

In the world of Bitcoin, the security of a wallet does not depend solely on the seed phrase, but also on how the keys are derived along the way. BitVault explains this point clearly: non-hardened derivations use the parent’s public key plus the index, whilst hardened derivations require the parent’s private key and break the mathematical link upwards. In practice, the difference lies between a more open structure and one that truly isolates the branch. This distinction matters because non-hardened derivations are useful in practice, particularly for watch-only wallets and for generating addresses without exposing the private key. But they…

Strategy remains the most delicate case in the traditional crypto market, as its stock market valuation continues to reflect a financial structure that is more complex than simply holding Bitcoin as a cash reserve. The company has a market capitalisation of just under $35 billion against a BTC portfolio of around $54.5 billion, but that direct comparison overlooks the $6.7 billion in convertible bonds and the $15.5 billion in preference shares that rank above ordinary shareholders. If enterprise value is used, the picture changes and the mNAV rises to around 1.03x, a sign that the market is not discounting Bitcoin,…

In June, the crypto market showed a clear split: Ethereum cooled off, Hyperliquid gained ground and Bitcoin continued to set the overall tone for risk. The most striking figure comes from Ethereum: monthly on-chain volume fell to $83.9 billion, its lowest level in the last twelve months, after peaking at $347 billion last August. This is not merely a price drop disguised as a statistical figure, but a contraction in both the number and size of transactions, with memecoins and NFTs no longer driving traffic as they did in the previous cycle. However, the picture is not uniform. Whilst speculative…

Open USD is not just another stablecoin, but an attempt to redefine who actually reaps the value generated by tokenised dollars. The project, backed by over 140 partners including Visa, Stripe, Coinbase, Mastercard and BlackRock, aims to distribute the majority of the revenue generated from the reserves to network members, rather than concentrating it in the hands of a single issuer. The most interesting aspect is not just the list of names, but the shift in logic. In the traditional model, a stablecoin such as USDC concentrates the returns within the issuer and its closest partners; Open USD, on the…

Anthropic has unveiled Claude Sonnet 5 as its most agent-like Sonnet model to date, and this phrasing is no accident: the leap forward is not just about the quality of the responses, but the ability to plan, use tools such as browsers and terminals, and carry out complex tasks independently. The message to the market is clear: useful AI is no longer simply about speaking well, but about being able to work effectively without getting bogged down. This development is particularly significant because Sonnet 5 bridges part of the gap with the Opus range, which has historically been more powerful…

Anthropic has just taken a step that could change the way businesses use artificial intelligence on a daily basis: with Claude Tag, the model integrates directly into Slack workflows and moves beyond being a mere assistant to be queried, becoming a genuine operational collaborator. The news, published on 23 June 2026, is more significant than it might seem at first glance, because it shifts AI from the ‘chat with the bot’ paradigm to that of ‘tag your digital colleague and get on with the work’. The core of the idea is simple yet powerful. Instead of opening a new window,…

When a Bitcoin transaction appears to be stuck, the problem is often not a wallet error but simply a market reality: the transaction has ended up in the mempool and is waiting for a miner to include it in a block. BitVault explains this clearly in its article, pointing out that a transaction does not go directly onto the blockchain, but first passes through a public queue where fees, priority and congestion come into play. The most useful thing for Bitcoin users to understand is that ‘stuck’ does not mean ‘lost’. The transaction remains valid until it is confirmed or…

The MiCA deadline is turning European regulation into a real stress test for crypto exchanges, and the issue is no longer just about who obtains a licence, but what happens to those who do not obtain one in time. According to materials published by OKX Europe and guidance issued by ESMA, from 1 July 2026, any exchange that continues to serve EU users without authorisation will not be able to operate legally within the European Economic Area. The case of OKX is interesting because it shows the other side of the coin: those already compliant are trying to attract users…
