El Salvador continues to show an increasing Bitcoin reserve. However, the State allegedly did not use public money to buy the BTC added since June 2025. The IMF states it received documents showing this increase comes from private donations. The official reserve now reaches about 7,764 bitcoins.
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra on September 3, 2026, its first model classified as "Critical" in cybersecurity: according to the company, it discovers unknown vulnerabilities and writes the corresponding exploit without human guidance at each step. Its president Greg Brockman sees a possible milestone towards general artificial intelligence. For crypto, the stake is not theoretical, and it is already quantified. As early as February 2026, the EVMbench benchmark, published by OpenAI with Paradigm and OtterSec, measured this capability on smart contracts: the best agent exploited 72.2% of the tested vulnerabilities.
The contrast is striking. In July, Brazilian residents purchased "only" 572 million dollars worth of crypto, according to the balance of payments report published on August 27 by the Central Bank. A month earlier, the counter peaked at 2.6 billion. Within thirty days, the plunge thus approaches 80%. Coincidence of calendar? Hard to believe: July marked the very first full month of application of the new governance and anti-money laundering control requirements imposed on local platforms.
The idea immediately appeals: automatically copying the positions of an experienced trader, and reaping the same results as them without spending your days in front of charts. Copy trading has exploded in recent years, driven by crypto platforms that have made it a mainstream entry point to leveraged markets. But behind the promise lie actual fees, an unflattering profitability statistic over time, and a fundamental question that most advertisements avoid: who are you really entrusting your money to?
Bitcoin has just erased part of its rebound after a peak at 82281 dollars on September 4. Indeed, the price dropped back to around 79000 dollars, a decline of nearly 4% in a few hours. The daily trend remains favorable, but short-term indicators signal a loss of momentum. It is the maintenance of the support located around 78500 dollars that will now determine whether this decline remains temporary or invalidates the recent bullish breakout.
A new data leak expands the incident affecting hardware wallet buyers. Trezor reports that a breach at its logistics partner Shipmonk exposed information of an additional 67,000 American customers. The affected files were supposed to be deleted from the provider's systems but remained accessible. The impacted orders date from November 2019 to August 2021. With the 13,689 recorded customers, the incident concerns about 80,000 people, without compromising wallets, private keys, or backups.
The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) has just eased up on the CLARITY Act, a few days before a tight vote in the Senate. A turnaround that changes the game for hesitant Democrats. But on the crypto market side, an expert warns that regulatory clarity could well turn into a "sell the news" trap.
For about ten years, ZEC has just crossed 1000 dollars for the first time. This crypto briefly exceeded 1045 dollars on Friday, September 4, after a monthly increase close to 100%. Such a rally was supported by the launch of Grayscale's Zcash ETF, demand for confidential transactions, and short position liquidations. However, the evolution of leverage and the high RSI level now amplify the risk of a sharp pullback.
ByteDance has just closed a syndicated loan of 29.6 billion dollars. It is the second largest dollar transaction completed in Asia this year. For TikTok's parent company, the goal is clear: to finance its expansion in AI without relying solely on its profits.
Over the past three weeks, Bitcoin ETFs have captured approximately 3.8 billion dollars. This is their best performance since the beginning of this year. In the last week, they attracted an additional 986.9 million dollars despite a withdrawal. This recovery thus confirms the return of institutional demand, although it has not yet offset all the outflows recorded since January.
