European regulators warn that crypto assets may be risky

European supervisory authorities (EBA, EIOPA, and ESMA – ESA) are warning consumers that crypto assets can be risky and that legal protection, if any, may be limited depending on which crypto assets they invest in.

As reported on the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) website on Monday, the warning is accompanied by an information bulletin that explains what the new EU regulation on crypto-asset markets (MiCA) means for consumers. Specific steps are recommended that consumers can take to make informed decisions before investing in crypto assets, such as checking whether the provider is licensed in the EU.

In addition, consumers are advised to familiarize themselves with the product or service and assess the risk before investing, check whether the crypto-asset service provider is licensed in the EU, and ensure that any wallets used to store their crypto-assets are sufficiently secure. These steps are particularly important at a time when consumer interest in such products and services is growing, partly due to aggressive promotion on social media by finfluencers.

According to the information available, from December 2024, the new EU Regulation on Markets in Crypto-assets (MiCA) will apply to certain types of crypto-assets and establish a consistent supervisory regime at both national and European levels for issuers and providers of crypto-asset services across the EU.

Chinese woman linked to largest cryptocurrency seizure arrested in London: 61,000 BTC confiscated

In London, judicial authorities have confirmed the arrest of Chinese citizen Zhimin Qian (also known as Yadi Zhang), who pleaded guilty to cryptocurrency transactions linked to large-scale fraud.

According to British investigators, Qian ran a financial scheme in China between 2014 and 2017, involving approximately 128,000 victims. She converted the money she received into bitcoins and attempted to launder it through transactions in the UK.

During a search of a house in north London, 61,000 bitcoins were seized, which at the time of the investigation were valued at over £5 billion. This seizure is considered one of the largest in the history of crypto crimes.

Qian pleaded guilty to charges related to the illegal possession, acquisition, and laundering of crypto assets. Her extradition and final sentence are expected later.

This case is significant not only for British law enforcement in the field of cryptocurrencies, but also for global law enforcement cooperation in combating transnational money laundering schemes involving digital assets.

Weekly cryptocurrency market analysis from Fixygen

The Fixygen project analyzed all cryptocurrency market trends over the week and prepared an analysis for investors and the media. The cryptocurrency market ended last week with mixed sentiments: leading digital assets showed mixed dynamics, investors continue to assess signals from the US Federal Reserve, the global stock market, and industry news.

According to CoinMarketCap, the total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market at the end of the week was about $2.43 trillion, which is 1.5% higher than seven days ago. At the same time, the daily trading volume remained volatile and fluctuated between $70-90 billion.

Bitcoin rose to $66,000 during the week, but corrected to $64,500 on Friday, which is 0.7% lower than the previous week. Analysts note that the asset is holding in the $63,000–67,000 range, and the key driver for further movement will remain the dynamics of US inflation and expectations regarding interest rates.

Ethereum, amid news of growing interest from institutional players, managed to rise above $2,600, but failed to consolidate above this level — the week ended with a quote of $2,550. As a result, the asset showed moderate growth of about 2.1%.

Altcoins behaved in different ways. Solana rose in price by almost 5% amid increased activity in the ecosystem of decentralized applications. Ripple and Cardano added about 1%, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu fell within the range of 2-3%.

Stablecoins maintained their positions: USDT’s share in the market structure remains at 68%, indicating high liquidity and continued cautious demand from investors.

Experts emphasize that the cryptocurrency market continues to react to the macroeconomic situation and news about regulation. In particular, discussions of new rules for disclosing information about digital assets in the US are putting pressure on short-term expectations.

In the medium term, market participants will focus on upcoming US employment reports, Fed minutes, and global inflation statistics. These factors could set the direction for Bitcoin and key altcoins in October.

Thus, last week on the crypto market was a period of relative stabilization with limited fluctuations, while in the coming weeks, investors are waiting for new drivers for growth or correction.

Weekly cryptocurrency results – Fixygen review

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.

Fixygen’s overview of promising cryptocurrencies for investors

The Fixygen project presents an analysis of promising cryptocurrencies that may increase in value.

1. Ethereum (ETH) – the foundation of decentralized finance

Ethereum continues to show strong momentum. By September 2025, its price had reached a record high of $4,956, and experts predict further growth to $7,500–$12,000, fueled by institutional demand, ETF approval, and the expansion of DeFi and Web3 applications.

2. XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Remittix (RTX) — a balanced portfolio of opportunities

  • XRP — actively promoted in the field of cross-border payments, with growth potential to $3.50–$4.00,
  • Cardano (ADA) — offers a solid foundation for smart contracts and the dApp ecosystem, with growth expected to reach $1.20–$1.50.
  • Remittix (RTX) — an innovative “PayFi” project that provides fast and cheap transfers between crypto and fiat. Strong growth potential due to the demand for the service.

3. DeFi token market: Uniswap, Aave, and Layer Brett

Ethereum remains the foundation, but real income can be generated through DeFi tokens:

  • Uniswap (UNI) and Aave (AAVE) — key players in decentralized exchanges and lending with potential returns of 10–20×,
  • Layer Brett ($LBRETT) is an Ethereum Layer 2-based meme coin that successfully combines hype and technology: low price, staking with high APY, NFT, and cross-chain plans — analysts see up to 50–200× growth.

It is important to remember that investing in cryptocurrencies is a balance between risk and potential, and it is wiser to invest in projects with working solutions and transparent architecture.

Cryptocurrency market forecast for September from Fixygen

Fixygen has prepared an analytical report with a forecast for the cryptocurrency market for September 2025:

The overall market picture as of September 1 is as follows:

  • Bitcoin: The beginning of September is seeing consolidation around $115,000 after reaching a record high of over $124,000 in August.
  • Seasonality: September is historically weak — the average decline in BTC is around 3.8–4%, with altcoins losing up to 30–50%.
  • Technical analysis: The current price of BTC is around $108,000–109,000, with a starting price for the month of $108,253. Support is in the $100,000–101,000 range, with a possible move to the mid-$90,000 range under unfavorable conditions. However, the RSI indicates a hidden bullish divergence and the likelihood of a recovery to new ATHs within 4–6 weeks.
  • Ethereum: Movement in the range of $4,428 to $5,331 is forecast for September.
  • XRP: The current price is $2.75. There are two possible scenarios: a drop to $2.50–2.60 (–10% maximum) or a rebound to $3.70 and even $4 with a breakout from the triangle pattern and positive ETF sentiment.
  • Altcoins: Opportunities are ripe among meme coins such as PEPE (expected growth of 3–5×) and LayerBrett (in presale, potentially 100×).
  • Institutional demand: Treasury companies hold nearly 1 million BTC, creating a supply shortage in the market.
  • Macro and regulatory policy:
    • Cryptocurrency reserves (US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve) have been created, which theoretically increases long-term demand.
    • Tether is discontinuing USDT support on several blockchains — this event may cause short-term volatility.
    • Significant token events: IDO, TGE, campaigns on Binance Wallet — this may stimulate short-term interest in new projects.

A number of risks to the market must also be taken into account. Let’s start with the fact that September is traditionally the worst month for crypto; historical data shows significant market declines during this month. Macro risks should also be kept in mind: high Fed rates and uncertain regulatory decisions may put pressure on the market, while the illusion of a bullish rally (FOMO) may lead to overheating and irrational decisions.

Therefore, Fixygen offers three main market development scenarios.

Scenario A: “Red September” (probable, baseline)

  • BTC rolls back to $100,000, Ethereum to $4,400, XRP to $2.50–2.60.
  • Meme coins remain volatile, with possible growth for certain names.
  • Supply shortages and institutional activity mitigate the decline, but the overall tone is weak.

Scenario B: “Moderate Recovery”

  • BTC holds $108–115k, with a possible return to new highs by the end of the month.
  • ETH breaks through $5,000+, XRP may rebound to $3.5–4 with favorable signals and ETF sentiment. Scenario C: “Euphoric”
      Large-scale institutional demand, Fed easing, rising sentiment — BTC rises above $124K by mid-September.

    • MEME tokens such as PEPE and LBRETT show short-term surges (x3-5 and up to x100).
