Ethereum still aims for October 6 at 13:53 UTC to activate Glamsterdam on the Sepolia testnet. The date now appears as the next milestone on Ethereum's official roadmap. But it remains fragile: Glamsterdam has not yet completed any full run on a stable private devnet, and several bugs must be fixed before exposing the update to Sepolia. The mainnet is still planned for the fourth quarter of 2026, with no confirmed date.

For Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, bitcoin at $400,000 by 2030 remains a reasonable target. However, to reach it from its current price, BTC would have to multiply by more than five.

OpenAI seeks a legal answer to an unusual question: can several AI giants jointly decide to slow down the development of their models without violating U.S. antitrust law? According to WIRED, the company has questioned members of Congress in recent weeks. The move follows a call from its chief scientist, Jakub Pachocki, for coordinated slowdowns when safeguards no longer keep pace with model capabilities. OpenAI has not announced a pause. It first wants to know if coordination with its competitors would be legal.

Binance now holds more than 693,000 bitcoins, a level unseen in two years. Since the end of April, its balance increased by 77,000 BTC, while bitcoin struggles to stay above 80,000 dollars. On the world's largest crypto platform, these reserves remain potentially available for sale.

The cryptocurrency market remembers the sharp drop of BTC below 58,000 dollars in July. However, on-chain data shows a much weaker reaction than expected after this dip. This discretion of buyers now raises a central question: did this level really represent a durable floor? The HODL Waves indicator provides precise insight into recent supply movements. Its evolution mainly suggests slow accumulation, very different from the reactions observed at previous cycle lows.

The price of Ether jumped 7.46% to 2619 dollars following the release of data on US inflation. Tom Lee mentions the probable start of a "brutal rally", however his projection more broadly concerns risky assets and does not set any specific target for ETH.

Zcash mining currently yields much more per unit of electricity than Bitcoin mining. At the beginning of September, an Antminer Z15 Pro generated about 708 dollars in gross revenue per megawatt-hour consumed, compared to 179 dollars for an Antminer S23 Pro dedicated to BTC. The ratio therefore approaches 4 to 1. This figure does not correspond to net profit: electricity, hosting, maintenance, and depreciation still need to be paid. But it is enough to explain why new miners are now looking much more closely at Zcash.

The Liquid network is going through a stage of its security incident. After the withdrawal of thousands of bitcoins, Blockstream now refuses all ransom demands. The company states it wants to recover the remaining funds without paying a financial reward. It plans to work with law enforcement, exchange platforms, and digital forensic experts. Liquid has resumed its block production but keeps bitcoin transfers suspended.

Its last session on the NYSE Arca is scheduled for October 14, then the remaining investors will be reimbursed in cash around October 22. Less than eleven months were therefore enough to end this crypto experiment.
