Token2049 Dubai Organizer: Despite Escalating Middle East Conflict, Conference Will Proceed as Planned

2026.03.10 08:31:00

March 10th — A report from Fortune confirms organizers of Token2049 Dubai say the spring crypto conference will go ahead as planned, despite ongoing regional tensions in the Middle East. “A spokesperson for the event stated: “Token2049 Dubai is still on track. All preparations are proceeding smoothly for the late-April event; registration data shows it’s nearly sold out, and the exhibition space is fully confirmed. We’re aligned with the venue and partners on all prep work.” Amid escalating Middle East conflicts, several conferences and sports events have been postponed or canceled in recent weeks. Last week, following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, sections of Dubai’s main airport were damaged, and missile debris landed on the Palm Jumeirah artificial island, injuring four people. Token2049 Dubai is widely seen as one of the largest annual crypto gatherings. This year’s speaker lineup includes Eric Trump (son of former U.S. President Donald Trump), Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, and others. Last year’s event drew more than 15,000 attendees.

F2Pool Co-Founder Wang Chun: BTC Protocol Upgrade Should Not Involve "Political Compromise"

On April 4, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun said in an X post that Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not adopt a "riders bill" approach—similar to how U.S. politicians push through "must-pass but unpopular provisions." This is also a key reason he opposes BIP-110 and BIP-54. Responding to whether fixes using BIP-54 have issues, Wang further noted the "Timewarp" problem has existed for years and offers no significant benefit to miners, since they can’t predict who will mine the next block. Its only practical use is disrupting some altcoins, which provides almost no real value to Bitcoin miners—so there’s no urgent need to modify it. Additionally, libsecp256k1 and hardware upgrades have drastically improved block validation efficiency, making protocol-level changes unnecessary. "Fake confirmed transactions" fundamentally depend on breaking a double SHA256 collision; if that were possible, it would mean Bitcoin Core’s security has been compromised. Wang added these issues aren’t enough to d

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to consider the nomination of Lael Brainard for Federal Reserve Chair on April 16th.

April 4 — A source familiar with the matter told CNBC that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to consider Kevin Warsh’s nomination as Federal Reserve chair. Separately, a criminal investigation into the Fed remains ongoing, probing whether current Chair Jerome Powell made false statements to Congress about the costly renovation of the central bank’s office building. Warsh’s nomination process is moving forward, potentially creating a conflict between the two parallel initiatives pushed by the Trump administration. Senate Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has stated he will not vote to confirm Warsh until the investigation is completed, indicating Trump cannot advance both processes simultaneously. However, by proceeding with the hearing, Trump appears to be attempting to do so. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet scheduled the hearing for a public session, per FXStreet.
