Philippine Blockchain Week 2026 Marks the Shift from Decoding to Deployment
MANILA, Philippines — More than 12,000 local and international delegates gathered at the SMX Convention Center Manila for Philippine Blockchain Week (PBW) 2026, transforming the venue into a hub for technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, gaming, entertainment, and public policy.
Held over three days under the theme Decoded: Deployed, the fourth edition marked a turning point in the country’s digital transformation. Rather than explaining what blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital assets can do, PBW 2026 demonstrated how these technologies are already being deployed across government, finance, business, and everyday life.
The official opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of Philippine Blockchain Week 2026, led by distinguished government officials, organizers, partners and industry leaders. From left to right: Raj Timothy Nandwani, Catz Jalandoni, Donald Lim, Chezka Gonzales, Dita-Angara Mathay, Abdul Malik Melvin Castelino, Janelle Barretto, Dr. Kamal Anand, Steve Ivsan, and Eliezer Rabadon.
The event featured over 150 speakers from around the world, with more than half representing international markets, sharing insights on blockchain, AI, cybersecurity, governance, and entrepreneurship.
PBW opened with Future of Trust: A Leaders Forum on Technology and Governance, bringing together senior government officials, regulators, business leaders, and technology pioneers to discuss how emerging technologies can strengthen transparency, governance, and public trust. The forum reinforced a central message: innovation succeeds not only through technology, but through the institutions and partnerships that enable its responsible deployment.
From Vision to Movement
For PBW Co-Founder Chezka Gonzales, the event reflected a vision that began five years ago.
“My personal goal has always been simple: to put Filipinos on the world stage and the Philippines on the global blockchain map—to showcase Filipino talent, innovation, and resilience to the world,” she said.
“Philippine Blockchain Week is more than a conference. It’s a platform where conversations become partnerships, partnerships become companies, and companies create opportunities for Filipinos,” she added.
That vision came alive as startups met investors, enterprises connected with innovators, regulators exchanged ideas with industry leaders, and communities explored new opportunities in the digital economy.

A Global Platform
The event welcomed speakers and delegates from across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America to contribute insights on emerging technologies and digital transformation.
Among the most anticipated speakers was Michael Terpin, widely known as the “Godfather of Crypto.”
“The Philippines has been a leader in innovation for many years. Social media has played a major role in incubating new platforms here, and Axie Infinity became a global phenomenon because of the Philippines,” he said, further proving that the Philippines is no longer simply participating in the global technology conversation—it is increasingly helping shape it.
PBW 2026 also highlighted the convergence of technology, culture, and community. The launch of Viral PH spotlighted the creator economy, while the ALT+TAB Gaming and Music Festival brought together gaming, esports, music, creators, and live entertainment. Attendees also joined hackathons, startup showcases, esports tournaments, networking sessions, and the Founders Arena, where startups connected with investors and ecosystem partners.
From Conversation to Deployment
The conference theme came to life through discussions on tokenized real-world assets and practical blockchain applications. Varun Chugh, External Financial Advisor of BiGod Token, explained how tokenization is modernizing traditional assets.
“Gold has served as a store of value for centuries, yet it remains one of the most difficult assets to transact. At BiGod, we aim to make that asset simple, accessible, and cross-border. We have already demonstrated this by using our token to facilitate payments here at Philippine Blockchain Week,” he said.
His remarks captured the essence of Decoded: Deployed: emerging technologies are no longer future concepts but practical solutions addressing real-world challenges today.

Building the Future Together
Philippine Blockchain Week 2026 was made possible through the support of its sponsors, exhibitors and ecosystem partners, including BiGod Token, Binance by Blockshoals, Vaulnox International, Smashpay Inc., Predict Protocol, Creatachain, Coins.PH, KMC Solutions, MEXC Ventures, O2 Ramp, Orca, Universe Pro, Meteon Run, NSpire, The Executive Centre, Comm&Sense PR, DvCode Technologies, Inc., Naheal, Lumina Events, Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and San Miguel Beer.
With more than 12,000 attendees, over 150 speakers, and countless collaborations formed, PBW 2026 demonstrated that the Philippines has evolved from an emerging participant into a growing force in the global digital economy.
Decoded: Deployed was more than a theme. It reflected where the industry stands today.
The future is no longer being imagined. It is already being built.

Coinbase在2026年第二季度錄得3.59億美元淨虧損，這是其連續第三個季度出現虧損。由於這家加密貨幣交易所已經連續第三個季度未能達到華爾街的營收預期，消息發佈後其股價在盤後交易中下跌約5%。
然而，埋藏在一則在紙面上看起來很嚴峻的頭條之下的是一場商業轉型——首席執行官布萊恩·阿姆斯特朗（Brian Armstrong）認爲，這場轉型從根本上改變了Coinbase到底是一傢什麼樣的公司。
錯過的數字
Coinbase公佈的本季度總營收爲12.2億美元，比上一季度下降14%，也遠低於華爾街分析師此前預計的12.9億美元。3590萬美元的淨虧損折算爲每股虧損1.36美元——相比之下，Coinbase在一年前同一季度報告的爲14.3億美元利潤，折算爲每股5.14美元，出現了巨大反轉。

南非約翰尼斯堡 — Finnovex 南非 2026 於高點圓滿落幕，帶來令人振奮的成功，並有力確立其作為非洲最具影響力、以成果為導向的金融服務聚會之一地位。

Coinbase報告稱，2026年第二季度淨虧損3.59億美元，這是其連續第三個季度虧損。由於這家加密貨幣交易所連續第三次未達到華爾街的營收預期，股價在盤後交易中下跌約5%。
然而，在一則在紙面上看起來很沉重的頭條背後，隱藏着首席執行官Brian Armstrong所稱的、已從根本上改變Coinbase到底是怎樣一家公司的一項業務轉型。
未達預期的數據
Coinbase本季度總營收爲12.2億美元，較上一季度下降14%，並且遠低於華爾街分析師此前預計的12.9億美元。本季度淨虧損3.59億美元折算爲每股虧損1.36美元——相比之下，這與去年同一季度Coinbase錄得的14.3億美元利潤（每股5.14美元）形成了巨大反差。

參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫將自己定位爲《CLARITY法案》的最直言不諱的反對者；該法案是加密行業推動的、用於聯邦市場結構立法的核心提案。她的反對聲音很響、論點也很具體，並且多次威脅要打斷該法案的推進勢頭。但她的批評者——其中許多人來自加密行業本身——認爲，她的動機並不像她那套民粹主義的說辭所呈現的那樣純粹。下面是關於這場爭鬥雙方，哪些內容是確實可以覈實的。
沃倫實際上在說什麼

參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫已將自己定位爲《澄清法案》（CLARITY Act）在參議院中最大聲、最直言的反對者——這是加密行業推動的、旨在聯邦層面制定市場結構立法的核心舉措。她的反對聲音很大、很具體，並且多次揚言要打斷該法案的推進勢頭。但她的批評者——其中許多人來自加密行業內部——認爲她的動機並不像其民粹主義言辭所暗示的那樣純粹。下面是關於這場對抗中雙方說法，哪些是確實可覈查的內容。
沃倫究竟在辯什麼

為什麼成功的交易者把交易當成一門生意
外界往往會覺得外匯交易很簡單：開個帳戶、下單交易，並試著從市場波動中獲利。然而事實卻大不相同。許多交易者賠錢並不是因為他們缺乏資訊，而是因為他們以情緒而非專業的方式來進行交易。
成功的交易者通常會用不同的思維模式。與其把交易當成嗜好，或把它視為快速賺錢的捷徑，他們會把交易當成一門以結構、紀律、規劃與風險管理為基礎的事業來經營。

俄羅斯聯邦安全局（FSB）週三宣佈，它已正式以協助恐怖活動爲由對Telegram創始人帕維爾·杜羅夫提出指控，並將其列入國際通緝名單。這標誌着克里姆林宮與這家通訊平臺及其直言不諱的創始人之間持續多年的衝突，出現了迄今爲止最嚴重的升級。
指控
根據FSB的官方聲明，杜羅夫因在俄羅斯刑法第205.1條第1.1款下協助恐怖活動而被刑事調查——該指控可能面臨8至15年的監禁，或無期徒刑。

《華爾街日報》（CoinDesk）報導，美國參議院再次推遲審議《CLARITY法案》，該法案是加密產業最受關注的待審立法。由於立法者在8月休會前，將議程時間轉向一項針對俄羅斯的制裁方案，並處理聯邦提名的積壓，參議院因此把對該法案的考量往後延。
此次延遲讓本已緊繃的通過窗口進一步收窄，並促使預測市場大幅下調該法案在2026年成為法律的機率。
為何參議院改變了方向

據 CoinDesk 報道，美國參議院再次推遲對《CLARITY 法案》的審議——這項正待通過的立法是加密行業最受密切關注的內容——原因是立法者將議程時間轉向一攬子對俄製裁方案，以及在該機構8月休會前處理聯邦提名積壓事務。
延遲進一步縮小了今年通過的緊張窗口，並促使預測市場大幅下調該法案在2026年成爲法律的可能性。

數位資產交易所市場如何改變：使用者對現代服務的期待
長久以來，數位資產交易所服務的溝通主要圍繞兩個指標：匯率與交易速度。對於當今的使用者而言，這已不再足夠。決策愈來愈取決於服務是否能清楚說明其條件、請求執行流程如何被安排，以及使用者在操作過程中能否獲得釐清。
這套邏輯如今正越來越不奏效。數位資產的受眾已遠遠超出交易員與加密貨幣愛好者的範圍，而資產的交換往往不再是與交易策略相關，而是與一項實際需求相連：以所需貨幣收款，或在特定城市提取現金。於是，匯率成為更大整體評估的一部分，與條件是否清楚、以及是否能提供支援一同被考量。

數位資產交易市場如何變化：使用者對現代服務的期待
長期以來，來自數位資產交易所服務的溝通主要圍繞兩個參數：匯率與交易速度。對於當今的使用者而言，這已經不再足夠。決策愈來愈取決於服務是否能清楚說明其條件、請求執行流程如何被組織，以及使用者在操作過程中是否能獲得釐清。
如今，這套邏輯正在越來越不適用。數位資產的受眾早已遠遠超越了交易者與加密貨幣愛好者，而資產的交換往往不再是為了交易策略，而是與實際需求相連：以所需貨幣收款，或在特定城市提領現金。因此，匯率只是在更廣泛的評估中的一部分，還要一起考量條件是否清楚，以及是否能提供支援。

營運已滿九年的中型加密貨幣交易所BitMart於2026年7月26日宣布，它將開始有序關閉其交易平台，加入一份快速增長的中心化交易所名單，這些交易所正在退出市場。
該公告引發了交易所本土BMX代幣的立即且嚴重拋售，跌幅依據所追蹤的交易所不同介於55%到70%之間，延續了先前已吞噬約70%代幣價值的下跌走勢，且該跌勢發生在過去一年內。

BitMart 是一家運營了九年的中型加密貨幣交易所。該交易所於 2026 年 7 月 26 日宣佈，將有序停止其交易平臺運營，加入一份迅速增長的中心化交易所退出市場的名單中。
該公告引發了該交易所原生 BMX 代幣的立即且大幅的拋售，跌幅在不同追蹤平臺上介於 55% 至 70% 之間，並將下跌行情延續下去——在此前一年裏，該代幣的價值已大約蒸發了 70%。

美國外匯交易：黃金時代是否正在回歸，給美國交易者帶來機會？
引言
超過二十年來，美國外匯交易者面臨著前所未有的障礙：外匯經紀商的可用名額有限，即便他們在全球最大金融市場之一中進行交易。
然而，美國外匯交易版圖正在演變。多種因素正推動業界人士所稱的、迎向美國外匯交易者的新「黃金時代」。其中包括：
市場波動加劇
快速的技術進步
