Bitcoin swap service SideSwap issued an official statement on the recent 4,000 BTC outflow from the Liquid Network, worth about $320 million. SideSwap said it legitimately burned L-BTC in response to a customer withdrawal request and paid out 3,996 BTC on the Bitcoin mainchain. However, after confirmation from Blockstream, the company said the L-BTC involved had been created abnormally due to an internal flaw in Elements, the sidechain software. SideSwap stressed there was no leak of functionary approval keys, or PAK, and no system breach, while wallet assets managed through users’ private keys were unaffected because of the service’s non-custodial structure. The Liquid Network is currently temporarily halted by the federation. Pending transactions will be handled separately if submitted through a dedicated email address, and the operator urged users to avoid new deposits and withdrawals until normal service resumes.

Mark Yusko, CIO of crypto-focused asset manager Morgan Creek Capital, said on Sept. 6 that Bitcoin’s recent rebound looked overbought within a bear market and projected a cycle bottom around Oct. 5, or 364 days after the previous peak. Yusko valued Bitcoin at about $105,000 based on Metcalfe’s law, user numbers and trading volume, while noting the price could correct in the short term to around $58,000, near mining power-cost levels. On portfolio allocation, Yusko recommended a five% to 10% Bitcoin weighting for general investors and said people under 35 should focus on volatile assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies rather than bonds. Yusko also said he had sold 90% of his Solana holdings after generating returns of around 1,000x. He added that altcoin tokens face a structural limitation in lacking claims on fee revenue or cash flow, and stressed that network utility tokens should be clearly distinguished from Bitcoin as a unique store of value.

BTCB2, a Bitcoin hard-fork asset, fell sharply after hitting a high of $1,799 on Sept. 5, according to local-time market data. The token traded between $750 and $1,000 for about four hours, while 24-hour volume reached $1 million on Neoexa, where BTCB2 is listed. Based on a BTCB2 price of $1,000, the asset’s fully diluted valuation stands at $20.9 billion. BTCB2 was created through a chain split at Bitcoin block height 961,632 on Aug. 8, 2026. It later changed its proof-of-work algorithm to Blake2, reduced its block size, and can currently be mined with Blake2-compatible ASIC miners. The asset is listed on Neoexa and Nonkyc.io.

Multiple verified WOO X users have said their withdrawal requests have remained stuck in "pending" or "processing" status over the past three days, according to crypto-focused watchdog social media account ZachXBT. Some users said the delays have lasted for several days. ZachXBT also pointed to allegations that WOO X is linked to Sheldon Xia, founder of BitMart, which began a phased shutdown of its exchange platform in July and is now exploring business restructuring and relaunch plans. WOO X said it is aware of reports about withdrawal processing times and is currently reviewing the relevant cases and system conditions. The exchange added it reserves the right to take legal action against fabricated, distorted, or maliciously distributed false claims that damage the reputations of users or the platform.

The Middle East and North Africa has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency markets, with annual on-chain transaction volume surging from about $100 billion in 2022 to roughly $350 billion between 2025 and 2026, according to the Bitcoin Policy Institute. Turkey remained the region’s largest market with annual transaction volume nearing $200 billion, while the United Arab Emirates recorded about $150 billion in 2025. By growth rate, Saudi Arabia posted the fastest expansion at 154% from a year earlier, followed by Qatar at 120%, the report said. It added that Bitcoin and U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins are being widely used as hedging tools in some countries facing conflict and currency depreciation, while Gulf Cooperation Council countries have become regional hubs for digital asset growth amid clear regulations and broader institutional adoption.

South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit is verifying whether registered virtual asset service providers are actually operating business management and legal compliance systems covering areas such as organization, staffing and IT infrastructure, Etoday reported. According to a 2026 supplementary filing status sheet obtained by Etoday on Sept. 6, the FIU requires 44 key review items to be submitted by registered VASPs. Reporting requirements for VASPs have been expanded to include financial status and social credibility, the eligibility of major shareholders, organization, personnel, IT infrastructure, internal controls and legal compliance systems. Existing registered operators must also complete supplementary filings by Nov. 20 and undergo another review under the strengthened standards. The key review items consist of 17 items on organization, personnel, IT infrastructure and internal controls, and 27 items on legal compliance systems. The first group is broken down into three staffing items, two organizational items, 10 IT infrastructure items and two internal control items. The legal compliance category includes 15 anti-money laundering items, eight items under the Virtual Asset User Protection Act and four other user protection items. The status sheet is a follow-up measure to apply the tougher reporting requirements to existing operators after revised Special Financial Transactions Information Act rules took effect on Aug. 20.

Tether-backed Chilean crypto exchange Orionx abruptly announced its closure on Sept. 3 after an unauthorized outflow of $7 million in customer funds. All withdrawals were halted immediately, freezing assets belonging to more than 100,000 users. An audit found unauthorized transfers involving major assets including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Orionx has filed criminal complaints against former executives, including a co-founder, and proposed a phased compensation plan, but a full recovery remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Chile’s Financial Market Commission (CMF) confirmed it had already rejected the company’s license application in June.

A security withdrawal of about 4,000 BTC, worth roughly $320 million, occurred on Bitcoin layer-two sidechain Liquid Network, temporarily halting network operations. Liquid said the fund outflow was carried out by an actor claiming to be a "white hat" hacker. The investigation found the withdrawal was executed through the anchoring withdrawal authorization key, SideSwap PAK, but the key itself was not leaked or hacked. Other RWA assets on the sidechain, including USDT, were not affected. Deposits and withdrawals of LBTC at major exchanges, along with the submission of new network transactions, are currently blocked. Operator Blockstream and the federation are trying to communicate with the hacker through on-chain signed messages while focusing on resolving the issue and restoring the network.

Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone said Bitcoin has delivered relatively weak investment performance compared with the S&P 500 despite showing much higher volatility. McGlone argued that one-tenth of Bitcoin’s price first reached a level similar to the S&P 500 Index, or SPX, in 2021, and the two figures remain broadly similar now. He said Bitcoin’s volatility is about three times that of the S&P 500, adding that BTC is difficult to view as an efficient asset for portfolio and risk management because it has not generated commensurate returns despite carrying higher risk and correlation.

If BTC rises above $80,547, about $452.26 million in short positions could be liquidated across major centralized exchanges, according to CoinGlass data. If BTC falls below $78,825, about $300 million in long positions could face liquidation.

Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador, denied a report by Spanish media outlet El Pais that ownership and management of the country’s strategic Bitcoin reserve had been transferred to a private operator. Bukele said the report was entirely false and argued the IMF material cited by El Pais referred not to El Salvador’s strategic BTC reserve, but to equity linked to the Chivo wallet.

Binance’s Bitcoin open interest surged near the $82,000 level, pushing above $10 billion for the highest level in six months, according to a CryptoQuant analysis by contributor Darkfost. Darkfost said open interest rose about 8% over the past 24 hours, with Binance’s share of total BTC open interest climbing above 37%. Darkfost said the increase appeared to reflect both a rise in the U.S. dollar value of existing positions as BTC gained and fresh inflows of speculative capital. Darkfost added that while speculative demand in the futures market can support short-term price gains, the uptrend would need buying from spot investors to continue, and current spot demand remains insufficient.

A UK investor who had believed Bitcoin was lost after an exchange shut down in 2012 has recovered the assets around 14 years later by proving ownership, CoinDesk reported. The original investment of about $2,000 has grown to roughly $4.5 million. CoinDesk said the investor, known by the pseudonym Chris, bought about $2,000 worth of BTC through UK crypto exchange Britcoin in December 2011. Britcoin later became Intersango, which halted trading in late 2012 and shut down in early 2014. UK law firm CEL Solicitors said it identified wallets believed to be linked to former Intersango users using crypto-tracing software, with more than 5,500 BTC, currently worth about $421 million, held in those wallets. Chris bought the BTC at under $4 per coin, and the recovered assets are now valued at about $4.5 million, according to the report. CEL Solicitors added other former Intersango customers could also be able to recover assets if they can prove past BTC purchases and holdings.
