We can finally breathe. We’ve made it through another week, navigating rough waters 🚢.

It’s been a busy 7 days. We started with a red Monday, triggered by the arrival of DeepSeek, the new Chinese AI competing with ChatGPT, and ended with a much calmer and recovered market.

  3. Trending coin of the week: XCN

Bitcoin continues to dominate the market

Despite a week marked by volatility, Bitcoin remains the leading asset and has reached its highest Market Dominance level since 2021.

This increase came after several U.S. states announced the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, a move supported by the government.

Additionally, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, stated that further interest rate hikes may not be necessary and hinted at U.S. banks legally offering crypto services 🏦.

Despite Monday’s dip, Bitcoin managed to stay around $100,000 and even broke past $104,000, a key milestone for long-term growth.

DeepSeek: A new horizon for AI in blockchain

🤖 The arrival of DeepSeek has revolutionized AI development in blockchain, allowing companies and developers to create autonomous agents using an open-source AI model 🆓.

The launch of this AI made waves on Wall Street, with a strong impact on the crypto market at the start of the week.

However, DeepSeek’s accessibility is great news for blockchain, as it will drive greater AI integration in crypto and open new opportunities for AI Agents (software programs capable of performing autonomous tasks for users) on platforms like Virtuals Protocol.

Trending coin of the week: XCN

XCN, the OnyxCoin token, has surged over 200% in the past week 📈.

Despite market volatility, XCN has become a hot trend, thanks to the announcement of the new Onyx XCN Ledger, a blockchain that will enhance scalability, transaction efficiency, and security—all while keeping staking and governance features on Ethereum.

Additionally, OnyxCoin could soon integrate with multiple blockchain ecosystems, offering significant advantages for users.
