Renowned trader Ansem posted a question to the community: "Aside from USD and BTC, how many tokens can you name that have still hit all-time highs after surviving a full bull-bear cycle?" Crypto KOL @0xaporia compiled findings showing that, excluding BTC, only 8 tokens meet the criteria of "ranked in the top 100 by market cap in 2021 and hit new all-time highs in 2025." Excluding wrapped assets, these include only BNB, XRP, TRX, LEO, and OKB.
Odaily Report: Renowned trader Doctor Profit posted on X platform stating that due to the current excessive leverage in the altcoin market, altcoin spot trading volume has now reached 4 times that of Bitcoin, indicating an overheated market condition. As a result, he chose to take profits and exit his altcoin positions. His ONDO holdings were sold at a 73% profit, while he also exited HBAR and XRP with minor gains. At this stage, he has no intention of buying altcoins in the current environment and expects the market to be on the verge of a correction.Doctor Profit previously predicted a rise to $88,000 when Bitcoin's price dropped to $60,000. Now after the rally, he expects Bitcoin may pull back to $79,000. He revealed that he had already shorted BTC at the $86,200 level and set additional short orders in the $86,500 to $89,500 range. Meanwhile, his BTC positions as well as his ETH, CRCL, and COIN positions in the "Galactic Three" portfolio remain unchanged.
Odaily reports: Crypto analyst Ali posted on X platform that during the past week of overall sideways trading in the crypto market, whale holdings across different assets showed notable divergence.Data shows that Bitcoin whale holdings decreased by approximately 30,000 BTC, worth about $2.52 billion, indicating that large holders are reducing their Bitcoin exposure. In contrast, Ethereum whales increased their holdings by approximately 60,000 ETH during the same period, worth about $162 million; while XRP whale holdings remained largely stable, with total holdings staying around 3.9 billion XRP over the past week, showing no significant changes.Ali's analysis points out that the market is currently exhibiting a divergent pattern of "Bitcoin whales reducing holdings, Ethereum whales buying, and XRP whales staying on the sidelines," and these related changes are worth watching.
老牌交易员 Peter Brandt 将比特币本周期峰值预期上调至 30 万至 60 万美元，并提示 10 月初或现技术性回撤。其同时看空 XRP 投资价值，建议投资者将加密仓位控制在 10% 以内并以 BTC 为主。
Odaily reports: Veteran trader Peter Brandt says Bitcoin has likely bottomed out for this cycle and entered a new bull market. He has raised his cycle top forecast from the previous $250,000 to $300,000 to $300,000 to $600,000 by late 2029, adding that hitting $500,000 is "very likely."However, Peter Brandt warns that Bitcoin could pull back to $65,000 to $66,000 in early October to flush out momentum chasers. Brandt is also skeptical of XRP's investment value, calling it a "fool coin," and said that XRP having payment use cases and Ripple having banking partners does not necessarily mean its value will rise.

Odaily News: Bitcoin fell back to around $83,600 on Friday, down about 1% from the previous trading day, after briefly touching around $87,000, reaching that level for the first time in months. Market analysis suggests that the expiry of $1.56 billion in Bitcoin options on Deribit may have exacerbated short-term volatility, as market makers typically unwind their hedging positions after options expiry.Over the past 24 hours, BTC open interest and trading volume fell by 14.39% and 13.68% respectively, with long and short liquidations relatively balanced—long liquidations totaled $161.96 million and short liquidations $156.1 million—indicating that leveraged funds are readjusting. On the technical side, BTC's 50-day moving average remains above its 200-day moving average, forming a "golden cross," and the short-term trend is still viewed as relatively strong.Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows of $299.09 million on Friday, though this was lower than the single-day inflow levels seen earlier in the week. By contrast, XRP rose 4.37% over the past 24 hours and 15.45% over the past 7 days, currently trading at around $1.58; Solana rose 3.36% over the past 24 hours and 9.33% over the past 7 days, currently trading at around $119.84. The next macro data points the market is watching are the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation data due on September 30 and the September nonfarm payrolls report due on October 2.

crypto analyst Ali posted on X platform that over the past five days, XRP whales have accumulated more than 470 million XRP, worth approximately $724 million. Meanwhile, a "head and shoulders bottom" pattern continues to form on the XRP daily chart, and a bullish breakout may be approaching.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen posted a 12-hour progress report on the security incident on X, including:1. Affected assets include ETH, XRP (largest single-chain loss), BNB, AVAX, USDT, USDC, and other tokens. Affected chains include: Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC, and Base. All on-chain cold wallets have been confirmed secure and unaffected.2. All foundations of the affected chains have been contacted, and some foundations have confirmed the freezing of the hacker's wallet addresses.3. Based on IP behavioral characteristics and on-chain analysis, the attack methodology is highly consistent with known patterns of North Korean hacker groups. Relevant authorities have been notified, and full cooperation is being provided for a global investigation.4. Bitget Wallet (decentralized wallet) operates completely independently from Bitget exchange infrastructure, and this incident has no impact on it. Bitget Wallet assets are completely safe.5. Transparent disclosure regarding the platform's financial status: In addition to over $464 million in protection funds (all held in publicly verifiable wallet addresses), Bitget's own assets exceed $1 billion. User funds are covered at a 1:1 ratio, and all data can be verified on-chain.6. Regarding withdrawal recovery timing: The goal is to achieve full recovery as soon as possible. Once a specific time window is confirmed, an announcement will be made immediately. No commitment will be made to timelines that cannot be fulfilled.
Odaily reports: On-chain analyst Specter has stated that they have established an on-chain connection between the Bitget attack and the AFX attack that occurred in July of this year. The latter involved approximately $24 million in stolen funds and was attributed to TraderTraitor.Specter claims that the XRP stolen from Bitget can be directly traced to the stolen funds from the AFX attack after being bridged across chains, leading them to believe that this attack may be related to Lazarus Group. The attribution is still pending further verification.
Odaily reports: Although the S&P 500 is near its all-time high, market breadth remains weak. As of Wednesday, 257 constituents of the S&P 500 had fallen below their 200-day moving average. In contrast, the crypto market has performed relatively strongly, with 88 of the top 100 tokens by market cap (including BTC and ETH) trading above their 200-day simple moving average (SMA), and most of them also above their 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. CoinDesk noted that most crypto assets, including BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL, remain significantly below their all-time highs. Dick Lo, founder and CEO of TDX Strategies, said institutional capital continues to flow in through ETFs, driving momentum in major crypto assets and some altcoins, and noted that the key level to watch for BTC is currently $90,000, with the 2026 high of $97,900 as a medium-term target. Bernardo Brites, co-founder and CEO of Trace Finance, said that funds are currently flowing in primarily through ETFs rather than stablecoins, making the market more prone to pullbacks. (CoinDesk)
Famous trader and chart analyst Peter Brandt, who successfully predicted the 2018 Bitcoin crash, shared a long-term outlook on Ethereum, stating that with the current Ethereum price around $2,794, a breakout above the $5,000 resistance could see prices rise to approximately $8,600. Additionally, Peter Brandt believes XRP's long-term target could reach $5.40.

three U.S. Dogecoin ETFs have collectively attracted just over $12 million in inflows over the past 10 months, compared to XRP funds which pulled in $12.29 million in a single day on September 9. Since their debut in November 2025, XRP funds have accumulated $1.7 billion in net inflows, while Solana funds have drawn $1.36 billion since launching in October 2025—both more than 100 times the total for Dogecoin funds.Previously, Bitwise announced it would shut down its Dogecoin ETF BWOW, which held only $687,713 in assets as of September 9, with trading expected to cease on October 14. Data shows that across 199 trading days, the three Dogecoin funds recorded net inflows on only 28 days, with zero net flows on 166 days. MyDoge founder Jordan Jefferson believes that accessibility has never been the biggest bottleneck for Dogecoin; whether institutional demand can be unlocked depends on whether investors can find underwriting value beyond price appreciation.

According to Bitcoin.com News, Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD reached a historical high of $2.442 billion in supply this week, up approximately 41% from $1.72 billion a month ago. Notably, the new supply has primarily flowed into Ethereum rather than the XRP Ledger. Ethereum currently holds $1.37 billion compared to the XRP Ledger’s $1.05 billion, marking a complete reversal from July when the XRP Ledger accounted for 58.9% of the total. Of the roughly $840 million in new supply added since July, Ethereum absorbed the vast majority.
Analyst Edgy from The DeFi Edge stated that Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $3.54 billion in August, while Ethereum ETFs drew in around $1.84 billion. During the trading week of August 24–28, SOL ETFs registered a net inflow of $142.7 million, XRP ETFs $110.5 million, and HYPE ETFs $56.8 million, totaling roughly $310 million, highlighting market demand beyond BTC and ETH. However, in the following week of August 31 to September 4, SOL’s net inflow plummeted to $4.9 million, HYPE dropped to $12.3 million, whereas Bitcoin ETFs continued to attract $987 million during the same period. Analysts noted that capital inflows into altcoin ETFs have yet to establish a sustained trend, and whether they can maintain steady absorption capacity over the next month remains a key metric to watch.
Japanese publicly listed company Remixpoint announced that it sold all of its holdings of ETH, SOL, XRP, and DOGE on September 1, totaling 878.8 million yen and realizing a gain of 117.8 million yen.
