The week on the cryptocurrency markets was marked by cautious optimism: Bitcoin strengthened, Ethereum and altcoins are preparing for potential growth, and key events – Fed rates, regulatory updates, and token lock-up volumes – are setting the tone for the second half of September.
Bitcoin rose 8% in September and is on track to have its best September in 13 years.
The total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market stabilized at around $4.05 trillion.
Bitcoin’s dominance has declined slightly, giving altcoins room to shine.
Ethereum and other major altcoins are showing the best growth rates in recent months; ETH has outperformed Bitcoin over the last third of the summer.
Bitcoin and ETH trading volumes have declined slightly, indicating market participants’ expectations ahead of major decisive events and regulatory decisions.
Forecasts and familiar themes for the second half of September from Fixygen:
Market participants expect another rate cut in the US, which could stimulate growth in “risky” assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Since Bitcoin is not so clearly in the lead, investors are likely to flow into altcoins — especially projects with real utility or new upgrades/token burns.
Simplified rules for listing ETF products and relaxed regulations could all increase the inflow of institutional capital.
There could be sharp pullbacks, especially if the macroeconomy unexpectedly deteriorates: inflation, unstable geopolitics, or regulatory overreach. Support from key levels (strong resistance/support) will be critical.
Close attention should be paid to events related to token unlocks and network protocol updates (e.g., throughput increases, staking income increases). These events could drive short-term interest in the market.

Bitcoin is holding steady at $113,000, down 0.8% over the week. The key support level is $109,000: breaking through it could trigger a correction in the cryptocurrency market, especially in the altcoin segment.
Meanwhile, Binance has resumed futures trading after a brief hiatus, restoring investors’ access to an important hedging tool.
In the spotlight: regulatory changes and ETFs
The US SEC is preparing a new scheme for simplified listing of ETPs (ETF-like products) — similar to classic ETFs under the 1940 law. This could pave the way for ETFs on Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and others.
XRP has lost investor interest despite positive news (victory over the SEC, launch in the UAE, and partnership with Gemini). Technical analysis points to a possible further decline.
Litecoin may attract attention amid rumors of an ETF launch — and although the project’s capitalization is large, moderate growth is possible.
The novelty of the week is Layer Brett (LBRETT). It is a meme coin with a utility basis (Ethereum Layer 2). It raised over $1.4 million in presales, promising staking bonuses of up to 1,500%. Analysts are discussing the potential for multiple growth.
ETH funds received $1.3 billion in investments in a week thanks to the Federal Reserve’s soft stance. This is a continuation of the inflow into ETH instruments: $3.7 billion has already been recorded since June, while Bitcoin funds are losing money.
There has been an increase in crypto treasuries — companies that buy crypto as a reserve. These big players hold about 1 million BTC, reducing availability on exchanges to below 15% for the first time since 2018, which is putting upward pressure on prices.
Outlook for the future: we expect steady growth provided the regulatory environment remains stable.
If the SEC approves the new ETF rules, it could trigger a powerful influx of institutional capital into assets such as Solana, XRP, Litecoin, and even utility-based memecoins such as Layer Brett.
Bitcoin will receive additional support when the Fed cuts rates, with the potential to grow to $150-160 thousand in the long term.

Today, cryptocurrency markets attracted attention: Bitcoin set a new historical high, exceeding $124,000, while Ethereum approached a record level, trading near $4,780.
According to Reuters, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $124,002.49, driven by active institutional investment, expectations of monetary policy easing by the Federal Reserve, and favorable regulatory steps by the US administration.
Confirming this trend, MarketWatch reports that Bitcoin’s growth is supported by growing investor interest and has gone against the strengthening of the dollar, with the country taking a more loyal stance towards cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, Ethereum is also showing steady growth, trading at $4,780.04, approaching its record highs of 2021. According to Aldía News, Ethereum jumped from around $4,220 at the start of trading last week to highs of around $4,790, just shy of its all-time high of $4,866.
The cryptocurrency boom continues to accelerate: Bitcoin is up ~30% since the start of the year, consolidating above $124,000. Ethereum is keeping pace, almost reaching its all-time high.
Institutional investments, ETFs, favorable regulatory steps, and expectations of interest rate cuts are the main factors driving the current momentum.
The cryptocurrency market is showing steady growth in early August 2025. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) on August 5 exceeds $114,900, while Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,685, according to data from leading exchanges and analytical platforms.
According to information from trading platforms, Bitcoin remains in the $113,900–$115,600 range. Ethereum is showing more active dynamics and grew by more than 40% in July, facilitated by institutional accumulation and growing interest in ETH-based ETF products.
Analysts attribute ETH’s growth to increased institutional interest — according to Reuters, the total portfolio of public companies in ETH exceeded 966,000 coins (about $3.5 billion), making Ethereum the No. 1 asset for corporate crypto trading in 2025.
Against this backdrop, ETH’s technical potential is estimated at $4,100 in the short term and $6,000–8,000 by the end of the year, provided that resistance above $4,000 is overcome.
At the same time, the Bitcoin price remains stable despite the seasonal August decline in activity. In the short term, BTC could reach $120,000–122,000, according to Cryptonews.
Major altcoins are showing mixed movements. XRP has recovered to $3.65 after a correction and, according to analysts’ forecasts, could reach $5 if the overall market growth continues. Solana (SOL) is receiving support from the DeFi and NFT segments, with a possible rise to $240–247 during August. Dogecoin (DOGE) shows limited potential despite short-term spikes. It is expected to move in the $0.20–0.23 range if market conditions are favorable.
Overall, analysts expect moderately positive dynamics in August amid growing demand from institutional investors and continued interest in crypto ETFs. Potential range: Bitcoin — $115,000–120,000, Ethereum — $3,800–4,200, XRP — $4.20–5.00, Solana — $235–250.
A correction is possible in September amid a traditional slowdown in activity and expectations of decisions from the US Federal Reserve. However, fundamental factors (growth of ETF structures, a positive regulatory environment in the EU and the US, interest in staking and DeFi) create the conditions for the upward trend to continue in the fourth quarter of 2025.
On July 14, the price of Bitcoin exceeded $120,000 for the first time in history, reaching a peak of $122,571. After that, the price stabilized at around $121,950. The daily growth was about 2–3%, and since the beginning of the year — almost 29%. Analysts attribute the dynamics to a massive influx of capital into Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds (BTC-ETFs) — over $1 billion daily — and favorable expectations regarding regulation. This refers to the active debate surrounding the Genius Act bill and discussions during Crypto Week.
Institutional players, including giants such as BlackRock and Bitwise, are showing unprecedented activity: from January to July, net inflows into cryptocurrency products exceeded $14.4 billion. Bitcoin is increasingly being treated as a digital analogue of gold — a “store of strength” in times of financial volatility. Technical analysis indicates potential growth to $125,000–131,000 in the coming weeks. If the trend remains stable, the price could reach $200,000–250,000 by the end of the year.
Ethereum is not far behind. ETH updated its five-month high, rising to $3,060. Open interest in Ethereum futures reached $14.25 billion, and ETF inflows exceeded $1 billion. AI-based predictive models see ETH in the $3,000–3,200 range throughout July.
The altcoin market is also showing positive dynamics. XRP rose above $2.80, an increase of 6–7% over the week. The technical picture shows a breakout from the falling wedge formation, opening the way to $3 and possibly $4.35 as early as July. Solana is trading at $160–167, with potential to reach $186–200, while Cardano (ADA) is near $0.725 and showing an upward trend to $0.77. Investors are showing growing interest in assets such as CELO and DOGE, as well as new staking ETFs, particularly those based on Solana.
The total capitalization of the crypto market is approaching $3.8 trillion. Despite geopolitical instability, the market is showing a clear bullish trend. Central bank digital initiatives, including digital currency pilots (CBDCs) in Australia, are creating a favorable backdrop for further growth in crypto assets. Against this backdrop, Bitcoin is increasingly consolidating its status as a reserve asset, prompting large institutions and companies to withdraw significant amounts from traditional assets in favor of digital ones.
The price of bitcoin hit a new all-time high on Wednesday thanks to increased risk appetite among investors and steady demand from institutional investors.
The value of this cryptocurrency rose to a record high of $112,022 during the previous session, but fell 0.5% to $111,185 at 10:11 a.m. on Thursday.
Bitcoin is supported by the favorable policy of US President Donald Trump’s administration towards cryptocurrencies.
In addition, Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Trump’s social network Truth Social, wants to launch a cryptocurrency ETF that will, among other things, invest in Bitcoin.
“Bitcoin is the only asset I know of that becomes less risky as it grows in size,” Reuters quoted Anthony Pompliano, head of Professional Capital Management, as saying.
Since the beginning of the year, the price of Bitcoin has risen by 19%, and in the last 12 months, it has almost doubled.
