Visa Integrates On-Chain Lending for Stablecoin Settlements
Visa has linked settlement data to on-chain lending infrastructure, creating a new source of working capital for companies behind growing stablecoin-linked card programs. Lenders can combine VisaNet settlement records with on-chain transaction data to assess borrowers and fund payment obligations. This model could provide card issuers access to blockchain-based lending without full reliance on traditional funding channels. Visa cited Credit Coop as an early example, which has financed over $2.5 billion in settlement volume since 2023. Meanwhile, stablecoin card payment volume at Visa has grown nearly 200% year-over-year, with annualized settlement volume exceeding $20 billion — 15 times higher than the previous year.

Strategy Pauses Bitcoin Buys to Repurchase $176M in STRC Preferred Shares
Michael Saylor's Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, temporarily halted weekly Bitcoin purchases to repurchase 1.8 million STRC preferred shares for $176.3 million between August 31 and September 7. The company also doubled its buyback program to $2 billion. Strategy currently holds 845,050 BTC acquired for $63.6 billion at an average price of $75,412. STRC shares are trading slightly below par ($97.70), limiting the company's ability to raise funds through their sale and potentially forcing a further dividend increase, which already stands at 12%.

White Hat Hackers Return 3,400 BTC to Liquid Wallet After $320M Exploit
White hat hackers returned 3,400 Bitcoin (~$270 million) to the Liquid federation wallet after Blockstream deployed fixes on affected bridge nodes. The return followed a Sunday security incident where attackers drained about 4,000 BTC from a wallet holding roughly 4,200 BTC. Around 598 BTC remain unrecovered, and Blockstream continues to engage with the involved parties. Updated software is deployed, and federation members are preparing for a coordinated restart of the Liquid network. The return of 85% of the stolen funds restores a significant portion of the collateral lost during the incident, as the paused network prepares to resume operations.

Miner Accused of Misappropriating 448 Bitcoins
Mintvest Capital has filed a lawsuit alleging that Coinmint executive Soniat told investors later start dates for Bitcoin mining than actually occurred. When the mining equipment was already operational, he claimed it was still being tested.
According to the lawsuit, all BTC mined between the real and announced launch dates were transferred to his own crypto address. To increase profit, he allegedly extended the testing period for months and appropriated income that should have been distributed among investors.

Coinmint Accused of Concealing Financial Statements
Mintvest also claims that Coinmint deliberately failed to provide financial statements to investors, concealed transactions and obstructed external audits. The lawsuit includes allegations of securities fraud and violations of the U.S. RICO Act.
The plaintiff owns 18.2% of Coinmint and demands a share of profits that it estimates exceeded $570 million. It seeks $104 million as its share of those profits, plus $47.1 million for Bitcoin mined before the official launch.

CryptoQuant: Bitcoin needs a breakout above $81,700
Over the past two weeks, the first cryptocurrency gained 24%, but growth has stalled: the price moved in the $76,000–82,000 range. At the time of publication, BTC is trading around $77,100. According to CryptoQuant, for confirmation of a new bull market, the asset needs to consolidate above $81,700.

A strong resistance zone ahead
Julio Moreno, Head of Research at CryptoQuant, called the nearest and strongest on-chain resistance zone the $77,100–80,200 corridor. In 2026, over a 30-day period, long-term holders sold an average of up to 539,000 BTC in this range.
The next level is the 365-day moving average at around $81,700. In previous cycles, the bull market “officially” began after the price closed above this value. Further, the analyst highlights resistance at $83,600 based on the 3x Metcalfe band and a potential selling level around $88,700.

Support below the market
If the market moves down, CryptoQuant sees support around $70,000 — where the 200-day moving average passes. Another demand zone is $62,000–65,000: according to the company, in 2026 long-term holders bought about 476,000 BTC there. The overall picture remains bullish, but the market needs a new impulse and absorption of supply.
