The world's largest crypto event returns to Marina Bay Sands on 7-8 October 2026. What sets this edition apart: with the Dubai edition pushed back to April 2027, TOKEN2049 Singapore is the brand's only major gathering this year. That packs an entire industry's attention, and likely a wave of announcements, into two days. Cointribune is a partner of the edition, with a discount code to match.
Bitcoin has now surpassed 78,900 dollars after Wednesday's drop. BTC trades around 78,800 dollars, with a rise of more than 2% during the day. The movement also benefits several altcoins. Arbitrum continues its rally and PONS recorded a new high above 0.50 dollar. The dollar declines in parallel and gives some breathing room back to risky assets.
The US trade deficit reached 88.6 billion dollars in July, a high since March 2025. Indeed, the gap evolved by 24.4% in thirty days despite the tariffs established by Donald Trump. This increase comes both from a rebound in imports and a decline in exports. Moreover, investments in artificial intelligence justify a significant part of the movement, as American companies acquired more computers, computer accessories, and semiconductors abroad.
Ethereum hits an unprecedented blob-per-block record. Rollup activity, fees and network capacity reveal both progress and vulnerability.
Craig Wright, the man who faked being Satoshi, just got Hollywood's red carpet treatment. $70 million, Gal Gadot, and a whitewash of history. Truth takes a back seat. Where do we go from here?
One week after the European Blockchain Convention, Barcelona is back at it on the technology front. AI Summit Barcelona takes place on September 22 and 23, 2026, at the World Trade Center, on the port. It is only the second edition, but its ambition is enormous: to grow from 1,500 attendees last year to more than 10,000 this year, with NVIDIA, Google, Microsoft and Anthropic on the bill. Here is what you need to know, along with the code reserved for the Cointribune community.
American Bitcoin ETFs attracted $101.15 million on September 2nd. This rebound comes after an outflow of $236.5 million the previous day. Ethereum and XRP ETFs ended positive streaks that had captured $1.62 billion and $170 million respectively. At the same time, Solana products also closed the session in the red. These movements reveal a temporary rotation of capital towards Bitcoin rather than a general withdrawal by institutional investors.
Poland faces a new stage in the Zondacrypto case, following three arrests decided Wednesday by the authorities. The investigation concerns the collapse of this major platform, marked by the halt of withdrawals and heavy losses for users. Among those detained is trader Rafał Zaorski, known in the financial world. The investigations also examine suspicions of fraud, money laundering, and links with several actors in the national political scene.
Tether has won big again with USDT. The issuer of the market's first stablecoin reports a net operating profit of 1.3 billion dollars in the second quarter of 2026. Its excess reserves now reach 5.2 billion. U.S. Treasury bonds remain at the heart of its revenues.
Bitcoin has just briefly surpassed 82000 dollars. It thus crosses its 50-week moving average. This threshold accompanied the end of four of the five previous comparable bear markets. However, the signal remains incomplete, as it must be confirmed by a weekly close. A failure below the 81000 to 86000 dollar zone would place the supports at 71800 and 62000 dollars back at the center of trading.
