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 ended the week with moderate growth, consolidating above the $58,000 mark. Investors are showing cautious optimism after the publication of macroeconomic data in the US and a decline in volatility in the stock market.
Ethereum traded in the $2,300–2,450 range, supported by an influx of funds into staking and activity in the DeFi sector. Amid discussions of a network upgrade, interest in ETH remains stable.
Among altcoins, the following stood out:
Solana (+9% for the week) — thanks to increased activity in NFT and the launch of new projects,
XRP (+6%) — amid positive news about lawsuits,
Dogecoin (+4%) — remains volatile, but demand is supported by the community.
The crypto market capitalization at the end of the week was about $2.2 trillion, with the BTC dominance index remaining at 48%.
It should be noted that interest in stablecoins has declined somewhat, indicating a growing willingness among market participants to return to risky assets.
The key risk factor remains the uncertainty of the Fed’s monetary policy and the volatility of the dollar. Fixygen analysts note that the coming weeks may bring a surge in volatility, especially against the backdrop of interest rate decisions and the publication of inflation data in the US.

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
3. DeFi token market: Uniswap, Aave, and Layer Brett
Ethereum remains the foundation, but real income can be generated through DeFi tokens:
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.
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:
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)
Scenario B: “Moderate Recovery”

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.

Fixygen has prepared an analysis of the cryptocurrency market for this week. After updating its historical high last week, Bitcoin spent the week in the range of ~$112–117 thousand, approaching $117 thousand by the end of Friday;
Ethereum remained around $4,600. The total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market was approximately $3.97 trillion, with BTC accounting for 58.2% and ETH for 14.0%. The skew towards Bitcoin reflects the weakness of some altcoins (Altcoin Season Index ≈44/100). These figures are according to CoinMarketCap.
The market reacted to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech in Jackson Hole: a cautious hint of further rate cuts supported risk assets — BTC and large altcoins rebounded after morning weakness.
At the beginning of the week, there were net outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs (several consecutive days of withdrawals), which intensified the correction after August’s ATH. Towards the end of the week, there was a noticeable net inflow of ~$287 million into spot ETFs — the first after a four-day series of outflows.

Technology and networks. Investors are focusing on performance roadmaps (e.g., Firedancer and bandwidth upgrades in the Solana ecosystem), which are sustaining interest in high-performance L1/L2s despite price volatility. AInvest
