September, Wall Street's Cursed Month

September is back, and on Wall Street it's not exactly the month you rush back from holiday to. Between high rates, record debt and billions being poured into AI, the back-to-school period looks set to be particularly intense.

What if bitcoin has already emerged from its bear market?

In just over a week, the mood around bitcoin has completely changed. After spending much of the summer stuck between $60,000 and $65,000, BTC has suddenly accelerated and pushed above $80,000. However, it is still about 37% below its all-time high of $126,223, reached in October 2025.

Stablecoins Enter the Mastercard Network

SoftBank knocks Toyota off its perch in the Japanese market arena

The face of the Tokyo Stock Exchange is changing. Previously, it was Toyota, the patient embodiment of industrial Japan, assembly lines, incremental engineering, and recurring profits. Now, it is SoftBank, a group born in software distribution that transitioned through broadband, telecoms and internet bets, before moving into global investments in disruptive technologies.

Michael Saylor Sold Bitcoin: The End of a Myth?

Michael Saylor built his legend on a single dogma: never sell your Bitcoin. However, Strategy has just offloaded 32 BTC to fund its distributions - a tiny amount, yet one with immense symbolic weight. Behind this tiny sale, the entire "never sell" myth is beginning to fracture.

The Great Pivot: Bitcoin Miners Shift Towards Artificial Intelligence

Inside bitcoin mining farms, the deafening roar remains unchanged: fans, transformers, rows of machines and megawatts consumed without respite. However, the destination of this power is shifting. Just a few months ago, it almost exclusively fueled ASICs dedicated to bitcoin mining. Today, a growing share of this energy is being redirected towards GPU racks, colocation contracts and artificial intelligence clients.

Are cracks appearing in the Indian miracle?

In the glass towers of Mumbai, at the heart of Dalal Street, the red screens of traders tell a story that India is no longer accustomed to reading. For years, the country has been a top pick amongst emerging markets: a massive population, robust growth, an expanding middle class, powerful domestic companies, a stock market buoyed by local savings, and the conviction that the Asian century would not be exclusively Chinese. However, for several months now, cracks are beginning to appear in the story.

The Legislation That Could Forever Change the Future of Crypto in the US

For years, the American crypto industry has developed within a regulatory fog. Entrepreneurs launched tokens, investors bought in, platforms listed assets, regulators litigated, courts arbitrated, and Congress often watched as the sector outpaced the law. Consequently, the world's leading financial power found itself with a massive crypto market but a fragmented, uncertain legal framework, often defined ex post facto through lawsuits. This is precisely what the CLARITY Act seeks to rectify.

Why is Telegram's crypto skyrocketing?

You likely know Telegram for its trading signals, crypto groups, news channels, private communities, encrypted chats, bots, mini-apps, or creators broadcasting content directly to their audiences. With approximately 1 billion monthly active users, Telegram is increasingly resembling a "super-app": messaging, media, community network, distribution tool, advertising space and potentially tomorrow, an integrated payment layer. It is within this context that a familiar name is resurfacing in the crypto ecosystem: Toncoin, the native token of The Open Network.

Polymarket, Kalshi: A retail losing machine?

Sam Altman wants to scan your eyes to save the Internet from AI

Last Friday, in a packed San Francisco auditorium, Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI and chairman of the startup Tools for Humanity (TFH), unveiled the next phase of World, his ambitious digital "proof of personhood" project. On stage, there was no new large language model, no humanoid robot and no spectacular demonstration of generative artificial intelligence. Instead, the focus was on another obsession: proving that there is indeed a human being behind the screen.

Why a French Weather Sensor is at the Heart of a Crypto Scandal

Could a simple weather sensor, tucked away on the tarmac at Roissy, have been enough to turn a few euros into nearly EUR30,000? On April 6, an abnormal temperature reading was recorded, a threshold was crossed, and on Polymarket, bets deemed nearly impossible suddenly became winners.
