He said the move would most likely happen in the fourth quarter of 2027. The brief did not include the basis for the forecast, any detailed timeline beyond that window, or a broader market outlook. The report only attributed the call to Terpin and framed it around the next halving cycle. No additional price targets, supporting data, or related comments were provided in the source text.280
Tim Draper2026-09-21 13:10:28Tim Draper says Apple and Meta are being irresponsible by holding no BitcoinVenture capitalist Tim Draper argued in a Bitcoin Magazine podcast that companies such as Apple and Meta are taking unnecessary legal and financial risk by keeping no Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Speaking with host Spencer Nichols, the Draper Associates founder said government spending has not slowed and that the likely outcomes are either hyperinflation or interest rates high enough to break banks. Against that backdrop, he said businesses should keep at least four weeks of operating expenses in Bitcoin, individuals should hold roughly six months of expenses in BTC, and governments should maintain a Bitcoin hedge. Draper also tied his long-standing $250,000 Bitcoin price target to the next halving and the supply shock he expects to follow. The episode outline published by Bitcoin Magazine shows the discussion also covered decentralization, AI, large banks and law firms, government competition, mobile voting, Estonia, and Bitcoin’s path to retail adoption.

Bitcoin2026-09-13 14:59:58Analyst Darkfost says Bitcoin is nearing 365 days without a new ATH as cycle intervals shrinkOdaily reported that analyst Darkfost said in a post on X that Bitcoin is close to reaching 365 days without setting a new all-time high, or ATH. He said that in earlier cycles, Bitcoin usually made a fresh high not long after a halving, but that pattern now appears to be shifting. Darkfost also pointed to a shorter gap between cycle tops and the next all-time high across recent periods. According to the figures he cited, the interval from 2014 to 2017 was 1,180 days, from 2017 to 2020 it was 1,094 days, and from 2021 to 2024 it fell to 849 days. Based on that progression, he said Bitcoin could reach a new record faster in the current cycle if the trend continues. He also noted that the next Bitcoin halving is expected around April 2028. The comments were presented as his market observation on X rather than as a formal forecast with a fixed date.900
Bitcoin2026-09-13 14:38:22CryptoQuant’s Darkfost says Bitcoin is nearing a year without a new high as the post-halving playbook loses steamBitcoin is approaching one full year without setting a fresh all-time high, according to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, who said the gap since the last peak now stands at roughly 342 days. In his view, that marks a clear break from earlier market cycles, when Bitcoin tended to reach new highs relatively quickly after a halving. Darkfost said the current cycle is moving at a slower pace than the old template would suggest. The next halving is expected around April 2028, but he argued that investors may not need to wait for that event or keep relying on the idea that Bitcoin should break higher soon after each halving. He also pointed to a separate pattern in the data: the time between one cycle top and the next all-time high has been getting shorter. That span measured 1180 days in 2014–2017, 1094 days in 2017–2020, and 849 days in 2021–2024. Based on that progression, Darkfost said that even though Bitcoin has spent almost a year below its previous high in this cycle, a new high could still arrive sooner than older cycle models imply.740
Zcash2026-09-13 13:04:56Zcash community vote on NU7 upgrade to close on Sept. 14The Zcash community’s vote on the NU7 network upgrade is set to close on Sept. 14, according to CryptoSlate, in a proposal that focuses on two protocol changes. One asks whether Zcash should replace its periodic halving model with a smooth issuance curve. The other asks whether block times should be reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. The proposal would not change ZEC’s total supply cap. Instead, it would adjust the pace at which new coins enter circulation. The vote is advisory rather than binding, which means that even if the proposal receives support, it would still need to go through development and deployment before taking effect. CryptoSlate also noted that ZEC recently reached its highest level since 2018. The token was quoted at $1,093.21, with a market capitalization ranking of No. 10 at the time cited in the report.860
Coinbase2026-09-12 02:42:46Brian Armstrong Says Bitcoin Has Likely Bottomed, Sees 1-2 Year Rise Ahead of Next HalvingCoinbase Chief Executive Officer Brian Armstrong said in a Bloomberg Television interview that he believes Bitcoin has already found its bottom in the current market cycle, with prices likely to trend higher over the next one to two years ahead of the next halving. At the time of his remarks, Bitcoin was trading around $78,000, down 1.7% over 24 hours and roughly 38% below its 2025 all-time high of $126,000. Armstrong tied his view to the idea that the market has already gone through a meaningful correction and is now waiting for the next cyclical catalyst, which he identified as the 2028 halving. Glassnode data cited in the report pointed in a similar direction, showing a rebound of 23% over the 21 trading days before Sept. 9 and a notable drop in sell-side pressure. The report also said resistance remains in the $83,000 to $86,000 range, making those levels central to whether the bottom call holds up in coming weeks.830
Flop Labs2026-09-10 07:53:02Flop Labs releases updated FLOP tokenomics draft with no VC allocation or presaleFlop Labs has released an updated draft of the FLOP tokenomics model following community feedback, laying out a contribution-based distribution structure with no venture capital allocation and no presale. The project said every token must be earned through network contribution. Under the draft, total supply is projected to reach 18.1 billion FLOP by year 10, while long-term inflation is set at 0.5% annually. The issuance model uses a fixed halving cycle and keeps a permanent tail-emission mechanism after halvings to continue rewarding network participants. The year-10 allocation shows miners receiving 8.8 billion tokens, or 48.6% of supply, the largest share in the model. Airdrops account for 4.4 billion tokens, or 24.3%, with separate allocations for miners, validators, agents, and reserves/incentives. Other disclosed allocations include 2 billion tokens for the team and foundation, 1.2 billion for validators, 1.2 billion for brokers/agents, and 600 million for staking rewards.1070
Fractal Bitco2026-09-08 08:46:51Fractal Bitcoin hits first halving at block 2,100,000 as FIP-102 goes liveFractal Bitcoin said in its latest post that the network completed its first halving at block height 2,100,000, with proposal FIP-102 activated at the same time. The team said network nodes and indexing services remained stable after the halving. Under FIP-102, FB distribution will expand beyond the Fractal network to the Bitcoin mainnet, opening a direct path for a broader group of Bitcoin users to obtain FB. After activation, the effective block reward on the Fractal side has been reduced to 6.25 FB, while another 6.25 FB issuance budget will be redirected to the Bitcoin mainnet. The project said the change does not increase FB’s total supply. On the Fractal side, merged mining, permissionless mining, and index mining will continue to split block rewards on a 1:1:1 basis. Fractal Bitcoin added that the detailed distribution mechanism for the Bitcoin mainnet will be defined in a later proposal, FIP-103, with a target launch in the first quarter of 2027.970
