Bitcoin has just returned a clear majority of its supply to profit. After rising from about 62,000 dollars to almost 80,000 in one week, 69% of the circulating BTC now show a value higher than their on-chain reference level. The rebound has therefore repaired part of the losses. Not all: about 617 billion dollars of capital are still underwater.

XAUUSD is one of the most watched symbols in trading rooms as well as consumer trading applications. Behind these six letters is simply the price of an ounce of gold expressed in dollars. But between the XAUUSD from forex brokers, the XAUUSDT from crypto platforms, and classic futures contracts, the same metal is traded in very different forms, with rules, costs, and risks that do not resemble each other. This guide puts things in order.

Arthur Hayes believes that the Strategy stock is no longer the best way to gain exposure to bitcoin. According to the BitMEX co-founder, the removal of the premium once granted to the MSTR share weakens the financial process that allowed the company to issue shares and obtain more BTC. However, this analysis does not explain an immediate insolvency risk. It is mainly related to Strategy's ability to continue its growth without diluting its shareholders.

The twelfth edition of the European Blockchain Convention takes place on September 16 and 17, 2026 in Barcelona.

Here is what to expect, the entrance cost, and the code reserved for the Cointribune community.

The network enters a new phase of supply management. Solana validators have approved a measure that accelerates the annual reduction of SOL emissions. This decision changes the pace of disinflation without altering the long-term target set. The vote also comes as investment products linked to the network attract capital. The results thus clarify the supply and staking rewards, as well as current governance choices.

Bitcoin could not maintain the $80,000 threshold after rebounding to $81,455 on August 28. Then, its price fell to $76,877 before a slight rise. This rejection occurs while many sell orders remain visible between $80,800 and $83,000. Their presence can slow a recovery, however, it does not justify either the identity of their holders or their real intention to sell.

Circle brings USDC to the front of Chelsea jerseys starting from the 2026/27 season. The main partnership, announced on August 28, outfits the men’s, women’s, and academy teams, with an official debut on Sunday against Brighton at Stamford Bridge. No stablecoin issuer had occupied this spot before in the history of the English championship.

Kevin Warsh believes that artificial intelligence is likely to permanently change the growth potential of the United States. In his first speech at Jackson Hole as Federal Reserve chairman, he described the current period as a "turning point in history." However, he admits that the Fed still does not know when productivity gains will appear, how employment will progress, and which companies will capture the created value. These questions therefore do not yet influence rate decisions.
