Bitcoin sulks, altcoins stir: 55% dominance and tokens lying in wait... But who will really take the pot by December?
Bitcoin sulks, altcoins stir: 55% dominance and tokens lying in wait... But who will really take the pot by December?
Ethereum Foundation sells 10,000 ETH on centralized platforms. Pragmatic or heresy? The community cries out DeFi betrayal, the foundation pleads transparency… Schizophrenic atmosphere among cryptophiles.
Since the beginning of September, bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have captured the attention of a crypto market suspended between hope and concern. While Wall Street falters, the two leaders show intriguing resilience. Yet, behind this apparent calm, technical indicators reveal growing tension. Between contradictory signals and increasingly polarized forecasts, traders are preparing for volatility that could make September a decisive month for the market's future.
SharpLink throws its dollars into ether like confetti: 39,008 ETH quietly bought, Joseph Lubin as the conductor of a risky all-in crypto.
What if the next crypto cycle was not only bullish but a historic turning point? At the WAIB Summit 2025, several experts stated that a single cycle could be enough to increase crypto users from 659 million in December 2024 to 5 billion users within ten years. A global adoption underway, driven not only by speculation but by the rise of concrete use cases, the maturity of blockchain technologies, and renewed interest from individuals as well as institutions.
As September begins, crypto traders approach the market cautiously, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP showing varied performance.
Ethereum plays the tightrope walker: programmed drop, then theatrical rise. September trembles, October rejoices. Crypto traders? They might applaud... after getting trapped.
Bitcoin wavers below 109,000 dollars, caught between macroeconomic uncertainty and unfavorable technical signals. While investors scrutinize upcoming indicators likely to guide US monetary policy, the pressure intensifies. Institutional capital outflows, tensions in derivatives products, and weakened sentiment indicators increase distrust. The market freezes in anticipation, exposed to latent volatility.
Ethereum takes the prize for the big players, Bitcoin clings to its throne. A duel of numbers, egos and billions: who will emerge victorious from this digital waltz?
Solana has reached a decisive milestone with the massive approval of Alpenglow, an upgrade set to disrupt its operation. This decision paves the way for unprecedented acceleration of transactions, bringing the blockchain closer to the speeds of modern Internet infrastructure. Ecosystem players see this change as an opportunity to strengthen competitiveness against Ethereum and Bitcoin. Alpenglow thus marks the beginning of a new technological era for a network seeking to combine speed and reliability
August was marked by two opposing signals in the crypto market. Ethereum reached an unprecedented peak of activity, confirming the growing interest of investors in its ecosystem. Conversely, Bitcoin suffered a brutal shock after the massive liquidation of 24,000 BTC by a single actor. This contrast is not just a technical divergence. It illustrates an ongoing rearrangement, between regulatory innovations, strategic repositioning of players, and the evolution of the balance of power between major assets.
Tron has just announced a landmark measure: a 60% reduction in its network fees. This decision was validated by a community vote and confirmed by Justin Sun. It aims to make transactions on its network more accessible after a period when costs had significantly increased.
While the market oscillates between technical consolidation and the return of institutional appetite, an extraordinary movement attracts all attention. An actor holding more than 5 billion dollars in bitcoin redirects a major part of its capital towards Ethereum. The scale of the amounts, the transparency of on-chain transactions, and the timing of the operation are striking. More than a simple arbitrage, this strategic repositioning seems to redraw the power relations between the two historical pillars of the crypto universe.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) holds around $50 after a peak at $51.50, supported by speculative and institutional interest. BitGo's integration of HyperEVM strengthens its credibility, positioning the token among the most followed crypto projects.
Since the beginning of the year, Solana (SOL) is clearly lagging behind Ethereum (ETH), which has returned to its highest levels. But behind this apparent underperformance, some analysts see a strategic opportunity for investors. Should we then take advantage of this moment to position ourselves on Solana?
Van Eck highlights Ethereum as a Wall Street token, positioning it at the centre of the growing stablecoin market.
On-chain report shows that stablecoin deposits on cryptocurrency exchange Binance have surpassed $1.65 billion. Such massive user deposits are generally known to precede increased appetite for spot assets, especially after recent market sell-offs. Interestingly, this move comes as Bitcoin crumbles under the weight of whale sheddings and heavy liquidations.
While BTC maximalists brood, whales set course for ether. Bluff move? Or real metamorphosis of a market tired of its digital dinosaur?
SharpLink Gaming has continued its aggressive Ethereum accumulation strategy, disclosing another major purchase of $252 million in ETH last week. The move brings its total Ethereum treasury to nearly 800,000 ETH, valued at around $3.7 billion, while leaving the company with $200 million in cash reserves for additional buys.
After fleeing like thieves, the giants of finance return to bitcoin. Bluff, opportunity or reverse panic? Capital is swirling, the suspense remains intact.
The world's second largest crypto has achieved a historic feat by reaching a market capitalization of 500 billion dollars faster than any other major company or even Bitcoin. This achievement is accompanied by a doubling of gains for long-term holders. But how far can ETH climb before profit-taking rekindles volatility?
Ethereum’s liquid staking ecosystem has seen a serious surge over the past three months, with roughly 690,000 ETH, valued at $3.2 billion, entering protocols since mid-May. The rapid inflows highlight both investor demand for staking yields and the consolidation of power among leading protocols.
When bitcoin falters, whales sell, small holders pick up, and the Fed sneezes. Crypto, this monetary theater where everyone plays their part... often without knowing the script.
In one week, crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.43 billion in net outflows, their largest drop since March. This sudden disengagement reflects rising tensions around US monetary policy and directly affects the market's two pillars, bitcoin and Ethereum. In an environment of increased volatility, this massive pullback raises questions about institutional investors’ strategies and the evolving power dynamics among different assets.
In a few hours, Ethereum went from euphoria to retreat. On August 24, the crypto reached an all-time high of 4,955 dollars before losing nearly 9% shortly after, with 60 billion dollars of capitalization going up in smoke. Such a brutal correction, occurring in an already fragile market, recalls the fragility of bullish rallies in an environment still largely driven by speculation.
In August, Ethereum reached 14.98% dominance, its highest since September 2024, accompanied by a historic record. At the same time, Bitcoin fell to 58.2%, its lowest since January 2025. This shift reflects a capital reallocation within the crypto market: whales, notably on Binance, are now accumulating ETH, confirming that Ethereum is no longer a mere supporting actor but a real growth asset compared to Bitcoin, still seen as a safe haven.
Bitcoin (BTC) has witnessed heightened price volatility over the past days, a trend that has stirred several questions among market observers. Some crypto commentators believe that the asset’s recent uneven movement is down to the activities of early BTC investors, often called “OG whales.”
While Ethereum was showing off at nearly $5,000, Bitcoin was crashing… Traders saw their dreams evaporate faster than a presidential alibi.
While Ether (ETH) is reaching new highs with a surge of more than 25% in August, investors wonder: are we witnessing a lasting consolidation or just a rebound before a correction? Driven by ETF inflows and a favorable macroeconomic climate, ETH is once again attracting institutional investors. However, history tempers optimism. Since 2016, every August rally has been followed by a bearish September. Will the current euphoria mark a break or will it reactivate the market's seasonal mechanics?
Since its creation, Ethereum has claimed resistance to censorship. However, Vitalik Buterin warns: the concentration of power among a few block builders threatens the network's neutrality. To remedy this, he proposes several avenues, the most ambitious, named FOCIL, could redefine the inclusion of transactions.
