The Sept. 28-Oct. 4 stretch brings a dense calendar for the crypto market, spanning exchange operations, token launches, protocol shutdowns, policy developments and U.S. macro data. The headline items include Bitget’s staged withdrawal restart, Robinhood’s two-day product event, CoinEx’s shutdown timetable and the U.S. nonfarm payrolls report due Oct. 2.
Sept. 28
Bitget to restart withdrawals in phases
Bitget said in a post on X that the vulnerability involved in the Sept. 24 security incident had been identified and fixed. The exchange said its team was carrying out additional verification and security checks on withdrawal infrastructure, while Mandiant and SlowMist continued to assist the investigation.
Bitget said the temporary withdrawal suspension was a security measure and was unrelated to the availability of user assets. User account balances were not affected, and the Bitget Protection Fund would cover the financial impact of the platform-wide incident.
The exchange laid out the following schedule for restoring withdrawals:
- Sept. 28, 8:00 UTC: Bitcoin network withdrawals resume;
- Sept. 29, 8:00 UTC: ETH withdrawals resume on Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Base and Optimism;
- Sept. 30, 8:00 UTC: USDT withdrawals resume on Ethereum, BSC, Solana and Tron;
- Oct. 2, 8:00 UTC: other token, fiat and P2P withdrawals resume.
Trading and deposit services will continue without interruption, and Bitget said users do not need to take action in advance.
Grayscale's Zcash ETF to implement a 1-for-3 stock split after market close
Grayscale's Zcash ETF, ticker ZCSH, has filed paperwork with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a 1-for-3 stock split. After the market closes on Sept. 28, shareholders will receive two additional shares for every one share held. The fund's share price will adjust downward proportionally, the number of shares outstanding will increase, and the total value of holdings will remain unchanged.
Doppler Finance token XDP to go live
Asset issuance protocol Doppler Finance said XDP will launch on Sept. 28. Total supply is set at 10 billion tokens. More than half is earmarked for ecosystem development, treasury plans, strategic partnerships and community growth. Of that total, 1% is allocated to a genesis airdrop and will be fully unlocked at the token generation event, while 43% is reserved for ecosystem and incentive programs.
The project said staking XDP will later grant access to premium vaults and strategies, early access to new products and eligibility for designated ecosystem activities. Detailed staking mechanics have not yet been released.
Agora changes AUSD arrangement on Injective
According to an official announcement, Agora said it will gradually end issuance and support for AUSD on the Injective network starting April 3, 2026. Under the latest adjustment, no new AUSD will be minted on Injective effective immediately, and holdings of AUSD on that network will no longer receive rewards.
Users can still redeem AUSD at a 1:1 value, and the redemption window will remain open until Sept. 28, 2026. Agora said the change applies only to the Injective network and does not affect AUSD operations on other chains.
Upbit to delist Synthetix (SNX)
Upbit will end trading support for Synthetix (SNX) at 14:00 on Sept. 28. The affected trading pair is SNX/BTC. Users need to complete withdrawals before Oct. 28. After that deadline, related assets will no longer be processed.
Sept. 29
Robinhood schedules product event for Sept. 29-30
Robinhood said it will hold a new product launch event on Sept. 29 and 30, using the line: "Can you pick up our signal?"
Robinhood co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev later reposted the announcement and said it had been "far too long" since the company's last product presentation, adding that the event was "not to be missed."
CoinEx to stop all spot trading
CoinEx said it had decided to cease operations after what it described as a prudent assessment. The company cited a prolonged downturn in the crypto market, a sharp contraction in industry trading volume and liquidity, and rising regulatory requirements and compliance costs. The platform entered an orderly shutdown process on Sept. 15.
CoinEx said its asset reserve ratio currently exceeds 100% and that user assets are fully backed by reserves.
Under its timetable, all non-spot businesses stopped on Sept. 22. All spot trading will stop on Sept. 29. CoinEx Smart Chain, or CSC, and OneSwap will also cease operations that day. Withdrawal services will remain available until Dec. 22, when the CoinEx trading platform will formally shut down. CoinEx Wallet and CoinEx Vault are not affected and will continue operating normally.
Coinbase to suspend BADGER and STORJ trading
Coinbase will suspend trading for Badger DAO (BADGER) and Storj (STORJ) at 02:00 on Sept. 29. Their order books have already moved to limit-only mode, meaning users can still place and cancel orders and orders may still match. After trading is suspended, both assets will remain accessible and withdrawals will still be supported.
Balancer proposal vote on orderly shutdown closes
The voting deadline for Balancer's proposal on an orderly shutdown falls on Sept. 29.
XRP Ledger Batch V1.1 upgrade enters final activation window
Ripple said asset managers and other commercial projects are preparing to use the upgrade. Batch V1.1 can combine as many as eight transactions into a single operation and ensures either all of them succeed or all of them are canceled, preventing partial execution.
The amendment has support from 30 of 35 tracked validators. If the approval rate stays above 80% for the next 14 days, activation is expected after 14:06:41 UTC on Sept. 29.

KBW2026 is scheduled to run in Seoul, South Korea, from Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, 2026.
Sept. 30
U.K. FCA set to open crypto asset authorization applications
Zumo founder and CEO Nick Jones said the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority will open its crypto asset authorization application window on Sept. 30, with the new regulatory regime expected to take effect formally in October 2027. Jones said clearer regulatory direction was already drawing traditional finance players into the market, including Hargreaves Lansdown, the U.K.'s largest retail investment platform, and that the domestic crypto sector would shift toward compliant operations.
Shipyard to halt IPFS engineering, maintenance and infrastructure operations
Shipyard, a development team in the IPFS ecosystem, said it will stop IPFS-related engineering, maintenance and infrastructure operations on Sept. 30 after Protocol Labs decided not to renew funding.
Once the shutdown takes effect, core projects maintained by Shipyard, including Kubo, Helia and IPFS Desktop, will no longer have dedicated maintainers. The future of public infrastructure such as ipfs.io, dweb.link and IPFS bootstrap nodes will be determined by Protocol Labs. Shipyard said it will assist with the transition through the end of September.
Router Protocol to shut down by Sept. 30, 2026 and burn 303 million ROUTE
Router Protocol said it had decided to wind down operations after more than four years of building and plans to fully close by Sept. 30, 2026. The team said Web3 liquidity had remained scarce over the past two years, market focus had shifted toward AI, cross-chain interoperability had cooled and bridge business revenue was not enough to cover costs. It also said attempts over the past year involving commercialization, licensing and acquisitions did not produce a sustainable solution.
Router Protocol said it will permanently burn 303 million ROUTE held in the treasury pending processing and will coordinate with centralized exchanges to delist ROUTE. Holders are expected to withdraw tokens before the relevant deadlines set by each exchange.
Fireplace website to remain online until Sept. 30
The Fireplace team said it is shutting down its prediction market and trading terminal. Its website will stay online until 23:59 UTC on Sept. 30. Users need to close positions, withdraw funds and export account data before then.
The project said teams interested in continuing work on prediction markets and in Fireplace's technical output can reach out by direct message. Relevant materials and resources have been consolidated on the official website.
Trepa to shut down on Sept. 30
Trepa, a Solana-based prediction app, said it is closing its service. The team said the final playable game round would take place on Aug. 12, and invitation rebates and win-streak rewards already earned by users would be distributed to Trepa wallets on Aug. 13.
The app will remain live until Sept. 30. Users need to withdraw funds from their wallets to self-custodied addresses before that date. Users who signed up by email and miss the deadline can recover access through Privy. The team said it had not found product-market fit and pointed to a single 1-2 p.m. UTC activity window, user friction from complex gameplay and compliance limits as factors that constrained growth. It confirmed a full shutdown.
Oct. 1

Hawaii's full ban on crypto ATMs takes effect
Hawaii Governor Josh Green signed House Bill 1642 in July, banning the ownership, operation or management of self-service transaction machines that exchange U.S. currency for digital financial assets. The ban takes effect Oct. 1.
The legislation cited data from the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. In an April report, the center said Americans lost more than $11 billion to digital asset-related scams in 2025. Complaints tied to Hawaii residents totaled 826, with losses of about $80 million. Hawaii will become the fourth U.S. state to fully ban crypto ATMs and self-service kiosks, after Minnesota, Tennessee and Indiana.
Alabama law creating framework for DAO-like nonprofit entities to take effect
Alabama's governor has signed Senate Bill 277, which legally recognizes decentralized autonomous organization structures in the state and allows such entities to use blockchain technology and smart contracts for operations and governance.
Under the bill text, a decentralized unincorporated nonprofit association, or DUNA, must have at least 100 mutually consenting members. A DUNA can own property and engage in profit-making activities, but it cannot distribute profits to members. The bill also says members generally are not personally liable for the association's activities. It is expected to take full effect on Oct. 1, 2026.
With the governor's signature bringing the measure into force, Alabama became the second U.S. state after Wyoming, which legislated in 2024, to grant legal status to DAO-like entities.
Oct. 2
U.S. Labor Department to release September nonfarm payrolls report
The U.S. Labor Department will release the September nonfarm payrolls report at 20:30 on Oct. 2. A Reuters survey of economists expects payroll growth to slow to 100,000 from 162,000 in August, while the unemployment rate is expected at 4.2%.
The source article noted that with inflation still elevated, a stronger-than-expected jobs report could become a burden for markets.
Oct. 3

Eleven Democratic senators call for hearing on prediction markets
Eleven Democratic senators on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee urged Chairman Tim Scott to hold a hearing on prediction markets. Earlier, the committee had planned a prediction market roundtable for next week attended only by Republican lawmakers, focused on securities-related prediction markets. A representative from Kalshi is expected to attend.
At present, the main regulatory authority over prediction markets sits with the Senate Agriculture Committee and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
