Predictive markets still anticipate growth for Ethereum, Solana, and Zcash before the end of this year. However, their bets remain much more cautious regarding the closing price on December 31.
On September 25, the U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded $22.65 million in net inflows. Bitwise mainly concentrates these flows, while XRP remains close to $1.55 despite this demand.
Circle and Tether froze on Friday part of the assets of an address linked to the Bitget hack, about 318,000 dollars of stablecoins. The amount remains marginal compared to the 387.5 million dollars stolen. Most of the loot is held in ether, an asset that no issuer can block.
XRP and DOGE showed latent losses significantly higher than those of bitcoin and Ethereum according to information provided by Santiment. Such a signal can therefore contribute to reducing the risk of profit-taking, however it does not guarantee a rebound after their new drop.
Privacy coins are experiencing a spectacular comeback in the crypto market. In five months, Zcash and Monero have added 24.54 billion dollars in valuation amidst institutional interest and regulatory debates.
Peter Brandt believes that the price of Ethereum would reach 8600 dollars following a break of 5000 dollars. Ether progressing around 2660 dollars, this scenario remains distant and depends on multiple intermediate resistances.
In the third quarter, SHIB shows a cumulative increase of 44.1%, thanks to three consecutive months in the green. Historically, the month of October often has an average return of 167.5%, however this figure almost entirely relies on the spectacular explosion of 2021.
In the week ending September 20, the average volume of XRP transferred to the Binance exchange platform reached 21.7 million tokens, 663% higher than its quarterly reference. Meanwhile, XRP surpassed $1.50, however, these inflows are not sufficient to confirm an increase towards $1.80.
Zcash takes a new step in Europe with its first ETP listed on Euronext. 21Shares thus opens institutional access to a crypto known for its privacy.
BitMine has just acquired 27562 additional Ethers for nearly 75.2 million dollars, bringing its treasury to about 6 million ETH. Thus, the company is approaching its goal of owning 5% of the total supply of the world's second largest crypto.
The crypto NEAR jumps 78.2% in one week, driven by the rise of NEAR Intents, privacy and cross-chain volumes now close to 30 billion dollars.
Ethereum rises back above $2,700 with two big buyers leading the way. In five days, two whales have engaged about $106.4 million in ETH. The largest sold 1,107 BTC before buying 34,422 ETH and staking the entire amount. The move comes as Ethereum ETFs recorded about $140 million in outflows for the week ending September 18. In the crypto market, large wallets appear much more aggressive than funds this week.
Visa will end a loophole that allowed certain memecoin purchases by card to generate loyalty points. The network has asked its payment processors to stop using the concerned merchant code starting next week. Purchases will still be possible by card, but without the associated rewards.
Using Ethereum is much cheaper than in the spring. The average cost of an ETH transfer fell to around 0.095 dollars, compared to a peak of 0.72 dollars on April 21, according to Santiment data. The drop therefore exceeds 85%. It comes as demand on the mainnet has calmed, but also after several months of technical improvements. Fusaka, blobs, and Layer 2 have given more capacity to the crypto network.
The crypto market is recovering, and a simple message raises questions again. Billy Markus, cofounder of Dogecoin, posted a short phrase on X without providing further explanations. However, Markus did not mention any specific asset. The link to Dogecoin remains uncertain, even though his message occurs during a general price recovery. His message comes as several major cryptocurrencies show significant gains over twenty-four hours. In this context, the publication quickly attracted the community's attention.
While Bitcoin has just crossed back above the $80,000 threshold and capital is starting to flow back into altcoins, XRP has gained 6.93%. Behind this rise, a scenario closely watched by investors is unfolding. Indeed, XRP's moving averages are approaching a likely golden cross. This movement remains to be confirmed, however, various technical indicators now add more weight to the hypothesis of a sustainable rebound.
XRP leverage is shrinking on Binance while altcoins rebound. CryptoQuant data sheds light on selling pressure and an approaching golden cross.
Arbitrum regains activity after several turbulent weeks. The ARB crypto gained 12.18% in 24 hours, with $561.52 million traded. The movement mainly comes as Arbitrum's monthly revenues are estimated at around $5 million at the current pace, more than five times their level before the launch of Robinhood Chain. For once, the crypto market rebound comes with a fairly clear improvement in the network's figures.
Revolut faces new pressure following a data leak revealed a few days earlier. A group calling itself iamnotavillain now demands 6,000 XMR, about 3 million dollars, and threatens to sell stolen information if the fintech does not pay. The attackers set a 24-hour deadline. About 680 clients, including several major crypto holders, are affected. Revolut states it has not received any request directly.
X accelerates its rapprochement with trading. The social network partners with Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Interactive Brokers and Moomoo to allow users easier access to trading platforms from Cashtags displayed in posts. A new step that brings market discussions closer to order execution.
Zcash is preparing to drastically reduce the time between its blocks. During the vote organized around the NU7 upgrade, 99.9% of expressed ZEC supported the shift from 75 to 25 seconds. Holders also chose at 98.9% to keep the current halving schedule. About 2.4 million ZEC participated in the vote, out of 3.6 million eligible at the snapshot. For this privacy-focused crypto network, NU7 thus affects both performance and the future issuance of ZEC.
Solana has just activated on its mainnet an upgrade awaited for several months. The maximum size of a transaction increases from 1,232 to 4,096 bytes, or 3.3 times more space. The new v1 format has been active since the beginning of epoch 1,035 on September 15. For the crypto ecosystem, the change mainly targets operations too large to fit until now in a single transaction: zero-knowledge proofs, multisignatures, and new onchain signature systems.
BitMine strengthens its Ethereum reserve with 27,180 ETH. Does this new crypto purchase change the game for ETH? Complete analysis.
Ethereum’s rally pushes Ether’s growth to nearly 60.6% since July 1st. Only the third quarter of 2025 performed better, yet the ranking remains provisional until September 30th.
Shiba Inu crosses a new threshold in the crypto ecosystem. SHIB is now associated with around 1.84 million addresses on Ethereum and Shibarium, according to a ShibWallet snapshot shared by Mazrael, a long-standing community member. Ethereum alone concentrates about 1.689 million holder addresses. This total broadens the measure of SHIB adoption, even if it does not correspond to 1.84 million different people.
Ethereum still aims for October 6 at 13:53 UTC to activate Glamsterdam on the Sepolia testnet. The date now appears as the next milestone on Ethereum's official roadmap. But it remains fragile: Glamsterdam has not yet completed any full run on a stable private devnet, and several bugs must be fixed before exposing the update to Sepolia. The mainnet is still planned for the fourth quarter of 2026, with no confirmed date.
The price of Ether jumped 7.46% to 2619 dollars following the release of data on US inflation. Tom Lee mentions the probable start of a "brutal rally", however his projection more broadly concerns risky assets and does not set any specific target for ETH.
The price of the crypto XRP gained nearly 70% before its weekly Super Trend turned green on August 17. This signal remains positive, however its three previous appearances were followed by corrections ranging from 32% to 56%.
Bitwise will close BWOW, its Dogecoin ETF launched at the end of November 2025. The fund held only about 688,000 dollars in net assets as of September 9, according to data cited by Cointelegraph. Its last session on the NYSE Arca is scheduled for October 14, then the remaining investors will be reimbursed in cash around October 22. Less than eleven months were therefore enough to end this crypto experiment.
Thanks to EIP-8288, Ethereum cryptography co-written by Vitalik Buterin and Thomas Coratger could become less costly. This text will have to group post-quantum signatures and STARK proofs, however it remains in draft form.
