According to The Block, the Cardano Foundation confirmed that the Cardano Summit 2026 will not be held this year, as the on-chain treasury funding proposal failed to reach the required supermajority threshold of 66.67%. The revised proposal sought a grant of 7.8 million ADA—approximately $2 million—but ultimately secured only 65.21% support from DReps’ staked voting power and was therefore rejected.

Binance Offers Temporary Relocation Options for UAE Employees Amid Regional Conflict
According to CoinDesk, amid the Iran conflict, Binance has offered its approximately 1,000 employees in the UAE the option of temporary relocation to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok. Binance stated that its UAE operations continue normally, with some employees choosing to remain locally, and global user services remain unaffected. This measure follows regional unrest that has disrupted major cryptocurrency, business, and sports events in the UAE—including the postponement of TOKEN2049 Dubai to 2027 and the cancellation of TON Gateway due to security and travel concerns. The UAE government reported having intercepted hundreds of missiles and drones since late February. Binance is deepening its collaboration with local authorities through Abu Dhabi’s global regulatory framework, and its global operations are backed by Abu Dhabi.

QCP Latest Analysis: Key BTC Level at $87,200, ETH Needs to Hold $2,725 Threshold, FOMC Meeting to Be the Main Market Catalyst
Odaily News: QCP stated in its official channel that the macro narrative has completely reversed within three weeks: from "October rate hike" to "October rate hike expectations being fully ruled out, with the Fed expected to hold steady." September nonfarm payrolls plunged to just 29,000, far below the expected 84,000; the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%; wage growth slowed to 3.0% year-over-year, the lowest level since May 2021. The three-month average of nonfarm payrolls fell to 50,700, roughly one-third of last year's pace. This dovish employment data supports the Fed pausing rate hikes in October, but the 10-year Treasury yield remains stubbornly at 5.25% as supply and term premium factors overshadow growth signals. The probability of an October rate hike has dropped to 22%.Bitcoin pulled back to $86,700 after hitting resistance at $87,100 on Friday, indicating that dip-buying demand persists. Weekend liquidations were modest at $62.7 million, with short positions accounting for 68%. A decisive hold above $87,200 is needed to confirm the next leg of the rally. Ethereum held the $2,725 threshold within the $2,650-$2,800 range, with the current setup remaining cautiously optimistic.Wednesday's FOMC meeting minutes will be the main catalyst — the market will interpret whether hawkish dissents stem from firm conviction or compromise. TOKEN2049 in Singapore from Thursday to Friday could trigger volatility. Attention should be paid to the CPI data on October 14, which will be the first test of whether the disinflation trend can continue.
