Stellar’s XLM token posted one of the stronger monthly advances among large-cap cryptocurrencies in September 2026. The token climbed nearly 29% over the 30-day window, rising from mid-month lows near $0.17–$0.18 toward highs around $0.23–$0.235 before modest pullbacks. This Stellar rally left it ahead of several major peers during the same stretch. What Drove XLM’s Nearly 29% September Gain? Mid-month momentum shifted after Stellar activated Protocol 28, known as Adapter, on September 17. The upgrade introduced new consensus tooling and contract-migration features. Network throughput then hit sustained records of 211 transactions per second (TPS) across 100 blocks, later climbing higher…

Cardano (ADA) token delivered a sharp recovery through September 2026 after major alternate coins (altcoins) followed the price patterns of Bitcoin to rebound strongly in the decentralised finance (DeFi) market. The price climbed roughly 26% over the 30-day span, advancing from mid-month levels near $0.19 toward highs around $0.25–$0.26. This Cardano advance outpaced several large-cap peers during the same window and coincided with both technical upgrades and fresh institutional interest. What Sparked ADA’s 26% Climb in September? Mid-month buying accelerated after the Federal Reserve’s rate decision cleared broader market uncertainty. Traders rotated capital into major altcoins, and ADA captured a…
Glassnode’s latest on-chain read delivers a clear shift for Bitcoin (BTC). Buyers finally absorbed the stubborn $85,000 sell wall after nearly a week of repeated tests, and the remaining ask-side orders appear withdrawn. Reduced liquidity above current levels now opens the door for faster upside moves in BTC. What Does the Erasure of the $85K BTC Supply Wall Actually Signal? Market participants watched that $85K–$85.5K cluster on Binance’s spot book grow steadily since late September 2026. Sellers stacked orders, price probed the lower edge multiple times, yet never cleared it cleanly. On Wednesday, October 1, 2026, the buyers flipped the…
Arkham Intelligence just mapped a striking picture of Robinhood crypto holdings. The firm labelled roughly $24.96 billion in digital assets sitting in wallets tied to the brokerage across 12 different chains, stretching from Bitcoin all the way to Robinhood Chain itself. Bitcoin alone accounts for $15.59 billion, or 185,185 BTC, while Dogecoin contributes another $2.88 billion. What Exactly Makes Up These Robinhood Crypto Holdings? Arkham linked about 1.7 million addresses to Robinhood. Bitcoin forms the clear foundation of the portfolio. Ethereum follows with roughly 1.576 million ETH, valued near $4.2 billion in recent snapshots. Dogecoin sits in third place, and…
Glassnode’s latest chart tells a quiet but important story about the current state of Bitcoin relative strength. Bitcoin relative strength has climbed back above the 50% mark against the S&P 500. In June 2026, the same metric sat at its weakest reading in six (6) years, with Bitcoin beating the equity index on only one in five trading days. Due to the huge liquidity that continues to be poured into the largest digital asset in terms of market capitalisation, that stretch has ended. What Does Bitcoin Relative Strength Actually Measure? The metric tracks how often Bitcoin finishes a trading session…
Bitcoin miner revenue reached $1.08 billion during September 2026. The figure marks a clear rebound from August’s $975.64 million and stands as the strongest monthly total since May’s $1.21 billion. At the same time, the revenue remains well below the $1.61 billion recorded in September 2025. Why Did Bitcoin Miner Revenue Climb in September? Higher average Bitcoin prices during the month lifted the dollar value of both the block subsidy and the limited transaction fees miners collected. After a softer summer stretch, daily revenue averages improved and pushed the full-month total above the August level. Network activity stayed elevated, yet…
By late September 2026, metals had seized a commanding lead on Gate Exchange’s traditional finance desk. CryptoQuant data shows metals holding roughly 65% of tracked TradFi volume while equities sat near 30%. The shift marks a clear rotation inside one of the busiest crypto-native multi-asset platforms. Why Are Metals Now Dominating Gate Exchange TradFi Volume? Traders moved decisively into gold and silver contracts during the second half of September. After a quieter summer, daily activity climbed and metals absorbed the bulk of the new flow. The stacked volume chart from January through late September reveals a persistent orange band of…
BTC’s latest bounce rests heavily on leveraged positioning, unfortunately, CryptoQuant data shows the market has slipped into a clear Bitcoin futures-heavy regime. As a result, derivatives activity dwarfs genuine spot buying. On Binance, the largest venue for both markets, the spot-to-futures ratio sits near 0.12. That figure means nearly 90% of the flow comes from Bitcoin futures. For every dollar placed in the spot market, roughly nine dollars ($9) move through futures contracts. Why Does a Futures-Heavy Market Signal Fragile Momentum? Open interest on Binance has already started to shrink. The figure fell from $10.6 billion to $9.2 billion across one…
Bitcoin closed September 2026 as the clear standout among major assets. The cryptocurrency climbed roughly 7% during the month while the S&P 500 posted a near-flat 0.3% move and gold tumbled more than 6%. Capital rotated back into crypto, and many altcoins followed Bitcoin higher after months of relative quiet. Why Did Bitcoin Beat Traditional Markets in September? Fresh institutional money arrived at the right moment. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed billions of dollars in net inflows across September, including several large late-month sessions that pushed year-to-date (YTD) flows back into positive territory. Corporate buyers joined the wave. Strategy added…
Bitwise Asset Management opened a new chapter for altcoin (alternate coin) access on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 in the form of Bitwise Spot NEAR ETF. The firm listed the Bitwise NEAR ETF under ticker NRR on NYSE Arca, creating the first U.S. spot exchange-traded product that holds actual NEAR tokens. Investors can now gain direct exposure through ordinary brokerage accounts while the fund stakes its holdings for additional yield. What Makes the Bitwise Spot NEAR ETF Different from Earlier Crypto Funds? Unlike futures-based products, NRR buys and holds the underlying NEAR tokens. Coinbase Custody safeguards the assets, and BNY Mellon…
