Polymarket disappears for French users ????????
Bad news for fans of predictive markets in France: Polymarket, a famous prediction platform based on blockchain, is no longer accessible to them.
While the reasons for this decision are not yet clear, it can be assumed that it stems from recent increased regulatory pressures in the European Union. This restriction is added to the list of restricted crypto services for French users. We take stock of the details in this article.
A surprise departure from the SEC ❌
Jaime Lizárraga, commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), announced his resignation.
A departure which could influence the organization's approach to cryptos. The SEC, under Gary Gensler, has been particularly tough on the industry.
Lizárraga's departure perhaps offers an opportunity to rebalance forces in favor of a clearer and more favorable regulatory framework.
A race for Trump's future crypto committee
Ripple, Kraken, Circle, Paradigm and venture capital giant a16z are vying for a place on the future crypto advisory committee promised by Donald Trump.
This committee could play a central role in overhauling regulations in the United States, perhaps opening a new era for blockchain innovation across the Atlantic. The battle for these seats shows how much crypto players want to influence political decisions.
Solana in the spotlight
Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, praised Solana's potential, describing the asset as “emerging with an incredible story.” »
Long criticized for its stability problems, Solana now seems to be regaining the trust of institutions and investors thanks to its recent performance and its growing adoption.
A record on the spot market
Trading volumes on the spot market reached $126 billion in a single day last week, a level not seen since May 2021.
This peak highlights a massive resurgence of interest in cryptos, fueled by bullish momentum and an influx of capital onto exchange platforms.
Crypto continues to vibrate to the rhythm of announcements and records. Between regulatory pressures, strategic corporate movements and market enthusiasm, the ecosystem shows that it is more alive than ever. What does the future hold for us? One thing is certain: the sector is not lacking in developments.
Stay tuned to follow the next developments, and have a good day everyone!
