According to CryptoQuant data, bitcoin holders have realized 110,000 BTC of net profits since August 19. Such a profit-taking occurs after a rally that led the price from less than 65,000 dollars to over 82,000 dollars. Bitcoin is now trading around 80,000 dollars, while numerous indicators point to a slowdown in demand. Thus, the risk of correction increases, but the overall trend is not yet bearish.

Kalshi's US traffic soared by 1,520% in one year, driven by sports betting which accounts for 83% of its volume. At the same time, the platform launches leveraged crypto perpetuals on BTC, ETH, BNB and 14 other assets, while its regulatory status is being decided before the Supreme Court.

Over the past thirty days, Solana has captured $348 million in net flows towards tokenized real-world assets. The blockchain thus outperforms other networks during this period, according to data provided by the RWA Foundation. This momentum raises the value of RWAs distributed on Solana to $4.23 billion. However, it is not enough to dethrone Ethereum across the entire market.

Oil, the fallen king, watches Bitcoin steal the spotlight in the UAE. Black gold gives ground to digital gold — even sheikhs are joining the party. Meanwhile, jobs are sliding. Quite the transition!

The project also consolidated its technical documentation on a single platform to simplify the transition from development to launching an application.

The major bitcoin corrections are losing magnitude. They have gone from about 85% in the early cycles to 84%, then 77%, and nearly 53% in the current cycle. Data compiled by Galaxy Research show this progressive compression, even though the 2025-2026 cycle bottom is not yet definitively confirmed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

The investigations also examine suspicions of fraud, money laundering, and links with several actors in the national political scene.

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.

Ethereum hits an unprecedented blob-per-block record. Rollup activity, fees and network capacity reveal both progress and vulnerability.

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.

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 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 and gold have rarely moved so often in the same direction. Their 90-day correlation reached its highest level since 2020, according to Bitwise. This convergence comes as investors turn away from long-term U.S. bonds, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield up to around 4.8%.

Usually, the month of September is a risky period for crypto investments. Historically, Bitcoin shows its weakest monthly performance during this period, while central bank decisions can intensify volatility. This year's context adds many uncertainties, including a probable rate hike in the United States. Despite these threats, three cryptos still have strong arguments to get through the month. These are Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
