Bottom line
Quiet market week (−~4% on CoinGecko 7d; range ~$526–$563). Hashrate roughly flat-to-slightly up; difficulty up ~4% WoW on CoinWarz / BitInfoCharts snapshots elevated. Dev focus: FCMP++ stressnet v3 + P2Pool beta ahead of the Oct 5 stressnet fork, plus MAGIC’s divisors-security wrap-up. No CEX listing/delisting event.
