BitMine is not slowing down: 17,362 more ETH in seven days, 6 million now held in its Ethereum crypto treasury. But the most surprising may still be to come with the 5%.
Bitget resumes withdrawals after a $388 million crypto hack, as investigators trace stolen funds and scrutinize weaknesses in third-party security.
The European cryptocurrency framework enters a new phase. After the work dedicated to rules, authorities now focus on their application and monitoring. ESMA wants to strengthen coordination among national supervisors as the obligations of actors become more structured. In this context, MiCA occupies a central place in the 2027 work program of the European regulator. Verena Ross confirms this shift in approach, which is oriented towards supervision, convergence, and the monitoring of European risks.
The crypto market has not yet entered a confirmed altseason period, however many altcoins strongly outperform bitcoin. Unlike previous cycles, various capital focuses on a limited number of projects, essentially those generating revenue or meeting specific uses.
Since September 14, 2026, holders of SPYx, QQQx, and NVDAx on Kraken can place these tokenized stocks in vaults that deploy them on onchain lending markets. Yield shown during the launch period: 2% net of fees for both ETFs, 1.8% for Nvidia, paid in the same asset. For an investor holding these positions over several years, the benefit is concrete. The mechanism producing this yield deserves to be understood before allocating anything.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran return to the forefront.
Michael Saylor wants to enshrine five freedoms at the heart of the crypto economy: create, issue, hold, transfer, and use digital assets. In an essay published on September 26, the Executive Chairman of Strategy advocates a "declaration of digital rights" rather than a new catalog of restrictions. His ambition goes far: to enable 10 million new companies to raise capital through digital markets.
The market is watching Strategy's movements, as the company could reveal a new bitcoin purchase. On Sunday, Michael Saylor, executive chairman of the company, posted a chart accompanied by the message "Even more orange." This signal usually occurs before the release of new acquisition figures. On Mondays, Strategy typically reports its purchases to US authorities. After a purchase of 950 BTC was announced following a similar message, this post now attracts the attention of the crypto market.
Vitalik Buterin believes that Hegota, the Ethereum fork planned for 2027, could be the last update based on technologies familiar to developers from 2015. The network will continue to evolve afterward. Its future transformations will rely more on cryptographic proofs, parallel execution, and formal verification.
Jurrien Timmer sees bitcoin, the crypto queen, reaching $300,000 in 2029. His Power Law model relies on the support of $60,000 and the BTC/gold ratio.
Jean Philanthrope takes social media by storm as questions over his identity grow and his crypto briefly reaches a $12 million valuation.
The crypto market returns to a key level as the bitcoin price tests a major resistance again. Jurrien Timmer, global macroeconomics director at Fidelity, believes a four-year bullish cycle could be underway. Nine months earlier, he considered 2026 a year of respite after a down phase. His chart places the 80,000-dollar threshold at the center of the scenario, with a projection toward 100,000 dollars in case of a breakout.
Bitcoin and the US dollar rise simultaneously. Since early August, BTC has gone from around 63,000 dollars to nearly 87,000 dollars before returning to about 84,600 dollars. However, the DXY also follows an upward slope. Falling to around 98.4 in early September, the dollar index now trades above 101. An unusual situation for two assets whose movements have often been opposite.
Bitcoin enters October around 85000 dollars after gaining nearly 9% in September. Its seasonal history and several on-chain indicators support the "Uptober" scenario, but profit-taking is already reaching an unprecedented level in 2026.
Bitcoin records its second-best Q3 performance in history with +43.5%, while Ethereum explodes its record with +71%. A quarter driven by strong ETF demand and controlled profit-taking. At the same time, the gold-bitcoin rotation theory reemerges… coincidence?
On 1 April 2026, the Akash network reported that its customers had passed 5 million dollars in cumulative spending on compute, real money paying for real processing power on a blockchain marketplace. That figure captures the shift of the year: in 2026 the fusion of artificial intelligence and crypto stopped being a story the sector told itself and became a layer other things are built on. AI-focused crypto tokens are worth roughly 21 billion dollars as of August 2026, and 40 cents of every venture dollar invested in crypto companies in 2025 went to firms building both AI and crypto, more than double the share of a year earlier. The pitch is no longer that a token will moon; it is that AI is concentrating inside a handful of very large companies, and open networks can offer an alternative for compute, for training, for payments and for the agents that will transact on-chain. This article maps how that infrastructure actually works, layer by layer, and, just as important, what each part does not prove.
Up to €400 offered at registration, 8% bonus on USDT deposits until October 8, 2026, and, since Tuesday, September 22, account protection up to €100,000 (€250,000 for VIP 1 to 3, €500,000 for VIP 4 and above) with no subscription or activation fees: OKX aligns three arguments for anyone still hesitating to open an account. The first is a welcome gift, the second a limited-time offer, the third, OKX Shield, a new feature that reimburses if a third party takes control of your account and withdraws funds, and it's worth looking at exactly what it covers before activating.
Claude's exclusion from the Pentagon's systems and contracts has just been validated by a U.S. court of appeals. This new setback weakens Anthropic ahead of an IPO that would value it at $2 trillion, but it does not close the legal battle.
The federal appeals court for the 6th circuit ruled Friday in favor of Ohio and Tennessee against Kalshi. States can apply their sports betting laws to the platform's contracts, a second loss on appeal bringing the case closer to the Supreme Court.
The SEC brings new clarifications to the crypto market. In an FAQ published on September 25, its staff details the treatment of tokens, liquid staking, buyback programs and promises made by issuers. A crypto asset that is not itself a security can still be sold under an investment contract. It all depends in particular on what the issuer promises to buyers.
The cost of protecting bitcoin against quantum computing has sharply dropped in a few days. An open competition led by StarkWare, Yukon Research, and Eigen Labs allowed developers and AI agents to speed up the necessary calculations. In one week, the estimate went from about 320 dollars to 67 dollars in GPU computation. This decrease especially shows how code optimization can reduce the resources needed to build transactions capable of better resisting the quantum threat.
Predictive markets still anticipate growth for Ethereum, Solana, and Zcash before the end of this year. However, their bets remain much more cautious regarding the closing price on December 31.
The cryptocurrency market enters a phase where every level counts. On Saturday, September 26, 2026, bitcoin trades below its all-time high after a pullback from 87,374 dollars.
