Le protocole Maya a interrompu son réseau MAYAChain après qu’un attaquant a siphonné environ 1,7 million de dollars en exploitant six failles logicielles enchaînées.
L’attaquant a retiré 48,87 millions de CACAO et déplacé environ 20,83 BTC d’une valeur d’environ 1,34 million de dollars hors chaîne.
Le CACAO a chuté d’environ 89 % d’environ 0,115 $ jusqu’à un plus bas de 0,013 $ avant un redressement partiel.
Le fondateur AaluxxMyth a confirmé l’incident et a déclaré que l’équipe travaille à corriger les problèmes et à récupérer pleinement.
Les valeurs des pools de liquidité ont chuté d’environ 10,9 millions de dollars, y compris l’arbitrage et la dépréciation des tokens.

Bitcoin perpetual contract funding rates across major exchanges have reached their highest levels in 20 months, signaling heavy bullish positioning among leveraged traders.
The spike in funding rates reflects a strong demand for long positions, though it also elevates the historical risk of sudden long squeezes if market momentum stalls.
Analysts are closely monitoring derivative metrics as open interest continues to climb alongside spot price appreciation.
Bitcoin perpetual futures funding rates have climbed to a 20-month high, according to recent market data highlighted by CoinDesk, as aggressive leveraged buying returns to the cryptocurrency sector. The sharp uptick in funding rates underscores a pronounced imbalance between buyers and sellers in derivatives markets, with long positions heavily dominating order books.
Funding rates are periodic payments exchanged between long and short traders in perpetual swap markets to keep the contract price anchored to the spot price. When funding rates turn positive and spike significantly, it indicates that long positions are willing to pay a premium to keep their trades open, typically reflecting high confidence in near-term price continuation.
Market observers note that while this metric highlights robust bullish momentum, it also introduces structural risks. Historically, sustained periods of extremely high funding rates have often preceded sharp market corrections or cascading liquidations when over-leveraged long positions are forced to unwind. As detailed in market reports from The Block, elevated open interest combined with aggressive funding rates creates an environment sensitive to macro volatility and sudden shifts in trader sentiment.
Traders and risk managers are currently watching key technical resistance levels alongside derivatives data to gauge whether the ongoing rally can sustain its current leverage profile. As institutional and retail participation evolves, maintaining awareness of derivative market health remains critical for navigating short-term price swings.

SINGAPORE, CoinFerenceX, the Web3 conference series known for curating high-signal gatherings of founders, investors, and builders, today announced it has combined forces with The Best Event, the events production group behind 80+ live experiences across 10+ global cities, to launch CoinFerenceX The Best Event Singapore, the next tier of the world’s first Decentralised Summit. The event will take place 5-6 October 2026 at Gardens by the Bay, positioning it as a leading alternative during Singapore’s Token2049 and Asia Crypto Week.
The partnership pairs CoinFerenceX’s content curation and community depth with The Best Event’s large-scale production and sponsor-activation track record, creating what the two companies describe as “the event nobody else can build.”
What sets the conference apart is its decentralized summit model: a 2 day event shaped by the industry rather than dictated by an organizer. Where traditional conferences sell booths and speaking slots, CoinFerenceX and The Best Event will invite the founders, funds and ecosystem leaders who show up to help shape the agenda itself, deciding which conversations matter and which builders take the stage. While the organizers handle the production and logistics, the direction of the summit is set by the Web3 players with real skin in the game. It’s a gathering built by the people driving the ecosystem forward, for the people driving it forward.
The Best Event brings a track record of 80+ delivered events, a presence in more than 10 global cities, over 50 million annual organic impressions, and north of 1 billion in social reach. The group’s attendance has grown from 35,000 in 2025 to a projected 70,000 in 2026. Its sponsor case studies point to concrete ROI, including one partner that turned a $50,000 investment into $1 million raised, another that saw a $50,000 spend convert into $1 million in ROI, and a third that converted two leads into a $400,000 deal.
At CoinFerenceX, partners help shape the agenda itself rather than simply buying booth space and a speaking slot. CoinFerenceX’s community includes 7,500+ curated attendees from more than 70 countries, over 500 ecosystem and media partners, and more than 300 VCs and investment funds. Roughly 60% of its attendees are C-level executives or founders, and independent feedback shows 94% of past partners say they would return, with 89% rating CoinFerenceX among the top 25% of Web3 events globally.
The combined summit is designed around four experience tracks:
The Leaders Summit: an invite-only, C-level gathering where governance decisions and strategic partnerships take shape.
Protocol Deep Dives: technical workshops where protocols demonstrate what they are actually shipping.
The Founders’ Den: a venue for early-stage builders to pitch directly to 200+ VCs and investors.
The Innovation Showcase: live product demos from established players and emerging protocols alike.
Early figures for the Singapore edition point to more than 4,000 curated attendees, 500+ VCs and investors, 400+ ecosystem and media partners, 85+ C-level speakers, and more than 8,000 total event registrations. As with prior CoinFerenceX editions, roughly 60% of attendees are expected to be C-level executives or founders.
Organizers say the agenda will be co-created by founders and ecosystem leaders with skin in the game, focused on sessions that deliver actionable insight or substantive content over celebrity keynotes.
“We’re incredibly excited for this edition, it’s bigger, sharper and more ambitious than anything we’ve done before. With the whole industry in Singapore that week, we’ve curated a stage and an audience that turns that energy into real conversations and real deals. This is CoinFerenceX The Best Event at its strongest,” shared Prince Gupta, Co-Founder of CoinFerenceX
Tobias Bauer, Co-Founder of The Best Event, added, “This partnership is the best of both worlds: CoinFerenceX’s curated speaker line-ups meet The Best Event’s scale of 50,000 attendees a year, the largest Web3 event series globally. Together we’re bringing one of the biggest two-day conferences to Singapore, our home market, with frontier thought leadership and production quality unlike anything else in the space.”

U.S. Treasury issues NPRM implementing Section 3 of the GENIUS Act on payment stablecoin issuance and sales.
Licensed issuers required starting January 18, 2027; platform restrictions begin July 18, 2028.
Public comments due by October 19, 2026.
Proposal aims to clarify definitions for regulatory certainty in the stablecoin market.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury on August 17 issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking public comment related to its implementation of section 3 of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act.
The NPRM proposes a framework defining what it means to issue a payment stablecoin in the United States and to offer or sell a payment stablecoin to a person in the United States, providing clarity on when issuers need a GENIUS license and how platforms can distribute tokens, according to the official Treasury statement.
“President Trump and Congress delivered the GENIUS Act, establishing a landmark framework and clear rules of the road for payment stablecoins, and Treasury is moving quickly to implement that framework,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
Under the Act, enacted July 18, 2025, beginning on January 18, 2027, a person generally may not issue a payment stablecoin in the United States unless licensed at the federal or state level. Digital asset service providers generally may not offer foreign-issued payment stablecoins unless the foreign issuer has the technological capability to comply with lawful orders and any reciprocal arrangement with the United States.
Beginning July 18, 2028, digital asset service providers generally may not offer or sell any payment stablecoins to persons in the United States unless issued by a licensed issuer, as reported by Decrypt and CoinDesk.
Comments on the proposal must be received on or before October 19, 2026. The rules build on an advance notice of proposed rulemaking issued last September and seek to support innovation while cementing the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Bessent noted that Treasury welcomes stakeholder input “as we work to provide the regulatory certainty businesses need to innovate and grow in America… and keep America the crypto capital of the world.”
Payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act must be backed 1:1 by liquid reserves such as U.S. currency, demand deposits, or short-term Treasuries. The proposal represents a critical step in operationalizing the first comprehensive U.S. federal framework for these assets.

The OCC granted preliminary conditional approval on Aug. 14, 2026, for World Liberty Trust Company to operate as a national trust bank.
The charter would allow the firm to assume issuance of the USD1 stablecoin from BitGo and offer digital asset custody to institutional clients.
Final approval remains contingent on meeting preopening requirements, including capital and compliance standards.
USD1 ranks among the larger dollar-backed stablecoins with a market capitalization near $4 billion.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted preliminary conditional approval on Aug. 14, 2026, to World Liberty Trust Company, National Association, to establish a national trust bank focused on stablecoin and digital asset services.
According to the OCC letter, the approval covers fiduciary and related trust company activities. The bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of WLTC Holdings LLC and based in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, plans to issue and redeem the USD1 stablecoin for institutional clients nationwide, taking over that role from BitGo Bank & Trust, National Association. It will also provide digital asset custody services primarily to USD1 customers and other institutions, along with limited conversion services for custodied assets.
“The OCC hereby grants preliminary conditional approval of your charter application upon determining that your proposal meets certain regulatory and policy requirements,” the regulator stated in the letter. Final approval and authorization to commence business will not be granted until all preopening requirements are satisfied, and the OCC retains the ability to modify, suspend, or rescind the preliminary approval.
Key conditions include limiting operations to trust company activities so the entity does not meet the Bank Holding Company Act definition of a bank, maintaining a minimum of $20 million in tier 1 capital with at least half in eligible liquid assets for the first three years, holding 180 days of operating expenses in liquid assets, and obtaining OCC non-objection for senior officers and directors. The bank must also conform its stablecoin activities to the GENIUS Act and other applicable laws as determined by the OCC.
World Liberty Financial, which backs the effort and is partially owned by an entity affiliated with President Donald Trump and family members, launched USD1 as a fiat-backed stablecoin. The token currently carries a market capitalization of approximately $4 billion, placing it among the larger dollar-pegged stablecoins. In a statement, World Liberty Trust President and Chairman Zach Witkoff described the development as enabling the company to build the most trusted digital dollar under federal supervision.
The application was filed in January 2026. Career OCC staff reviewed it for consistency with legal and regulatory requirements, the letter noted, addressing public comments that raised concerns about ownership ties. Democratic lawmakers have criticized the process citing potential conflicts of interest and signaled plans for legislation restricting senior officials’ bank ownership.
Similar preliminary approvals have previously been granted to other crypto firms seeking national trust bank status. The conditional green light positions World Liberty to bring USD1 issuance, reserve management, and custody under a single federal regulator, subject to final clearance.

Bitcoin plane près du seuil de 63 000 $ le 15 août 2026, après une baisse d’environ 3 % au cours des sept derniers jours, depuis la zone des 64 000 $–65 000 $. La dominance se situe autour de 56 %, la capitalisation totale du marché crypto est d’environ 2,25 billions de dollars après un léger repli hebdomadaire, et l’indice Fear & Greed affiche un niveau dans le milieu des 30 (Fear). Le contexte macro reste un frein, avec des taux et une incertitude réglementaire persistants, mais certaines narrations refusent de s’éteindre.
Cette semaine, les noms les plus brillants ne sont pas les purs dégénérés de memecoin, mais ceux qui affichent une force relative en matière de confidentialité, d’infrastructure IA, d’oracles et d’actifs du monde réel. Nous observons attentivement cette rotation : le capital est sélectif, les volumes se concentrent sur quelques histoires, et les cryptos capables de pointer vers un usage réel ou des catalyseurs clairement identifiables sont celles qui continuent de briller. Voici les 8 à 10 actuellement les plus éclatants.

Au milieu d’août 2026, le hashrate du réseau Bitcoin se situe à environ 17 % en dessous de son plus haut historique. Les trackers indiquent qu’il recule depuis un pic de fin 2025 au-dessus d’un zettahash par seconde, vers une fourchette proche de 850–920 exahashes par seconde. La difficulté a également évolué en baisse, enregistrant des déclins d’une année sur l’autre pour seulement la deuxième fois de l’histoire du réseau. Les mineurs publics redirigent puissance et capital vers des centres de données dédiés à l’intelligence artificielle. Le hashprice s’est contracté. Les récompenses de bloc après le halving de 2024 laissent moins de marge d’erreur.

Cow Protocol’s native token, COW, experienced a significant price rally, jumping 55.77% over a 24-hour trading window.
The sharp upward movement drove heightened market participation and increased daily trading volume across major decentralized and centralized platforms.
Traders and analysts are monitoring the token’s on-chain metrics closely to determine whether the momentum can sustain current resistance levels.
Cow Protocol’s native asset, COW, registered a dramatic price surge, skyrocketing by 55.77% in 24 hours as market participants rushed to trade the asset. The sudden double-digit gain placed the token among the top-performing digital assets during the trading session, reflecting a sharp increase in speculative interest and network activity.
According to market data, the sudden price action propelled COW to local highs, accompanied by a multi-fold increase in daily trading volume. As detailed on the Cow Protocol official website, the project specializes in MEV-protected token swapping via batch auctions, a utility that continues to draw attention as decentralized finance (DeFi) trading volumes fluctuate.
Market observers noted that the explosive rally mirrored broader spikes in volatility across several mid-cap altcoins. While momentum traders capitalized on the rapid price appreciation, risk management remains a priority for market participants navigating high-beta tokens. Analysts suggest that sustaining these price levels will depend heavily on whether broader crypto market conditions remain favorable and if on-chain volume holds steady in the coming days.
