Où investir 10K ? 💰

▶ Coinbase Website: Coinbase.com ▶ CEX Website: cex.io Pour construire un portefeuille aujourd’hui avec 10000 dollars, il est crucial de s’adapter au marché actuel. Autrefois, Bitcoin et Ether étaient des valeurs sûres. Cependant, avec le Bull Run qui semble imminent et après avoir atteint des sommets historiques, nous sommes en période d’accumulation. Il est judicieux de se tourner vers les altcoins, qui présentent plus de risques mais aussi un potentiel de rendement plus élevé. Malgré la solidité des fondamentaux de Bitcoin et d’Ether, mon expérience de six ans dans la…

DeFi Stays Outside Rules as Regulators Tighten Elsewhere

boss

The European Union’s new crypto tax reporting regime under DAC8 is intentionally focused on enforceable targets, leaving decentralized finance (DeFi) outside its scope for now. Colby Mangels, a former adviser to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and now Taxbit’s global head of government solutions, said the rules prioritize identifiable intermediaries such as custodians and exchanges, which will be required to collect and report standardized user activity data under the OECD’s Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). However, the DeFi carve-out may not last. Mangels said tax authorities are…

boss

Key points: Bitcoin’s break below $84,000 tilts the advantage in favor of the bears, opening the doors for a potential fall to $74,508.

Bitcoin (BTC) remains under pressure as sellers attempt to sustain the price below the $84,000 level. BTC’s fall near $81,000 caused $1.77 billion in liquidations in the past 24 hours, per CoinGlass data. Several analysts have turned bearish and expect BTC’s downtrend to continue. They anticipate BTC to fall…

Why Proof-of-Reserves Isn’t Enough to Trust Crypto Exchanges

boss

What is proof-of-reserves? At its core, proof-of-reserves is a public demonstration that a custodian holds the assets it claims to hold on behalf of users, typically using cryptographic methods and onchain transparency. If every crypto exchange can publish a proof-of-reserves (PoR) report, why can withdrawals still be delayed or halted during a crisis? The truth is that proof-of-reserves is not a trust guarantee. It shows whether verifiable assets exist on a platform at a single point in time, but it does not confirm that the platform is solvent, liquid or…

boss

Ripple’s new stablecoin rollout has put a bright spotlight on a simple fact: most RLUSD is living on Ethereum right now. That imbalance has stirred worry among long-time XRP supporters. Some feel the company’s heart might be shifting away from the ledger that gave it a base. Others say the move is practical and short-term. Related Reading Exchange Rollouts And Technical Gaps According to Luke Judges, Ripple’s Global Partner Success Lead, the choice of which chain goes live first often comes down to plumbing — the systems exchanges already run.…

Bitcoin Loses Ground in Global Asset Rankings After Violent Selloff

boss

Bitcoin’s sharp reversal this week has pushed it outside the world’s 10 largest assets by market capitalization, underscoring how difficult price action has been in recent months as markets continue to digest the cryptocurrency industry’s largest forced liquidation on record. Hovering around $83,000 per coin, Bitcoin’s (BTC) market capitalization has slipped to about $1.65 trillion, ranking it 11th globally. That places it just behind Saudi Aramco, the state-run oil giant, and below Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), according to market data trackers. By contrast, gold has surged to the top…
