Latest Crypto Market News Today, September 24: Downtrend Not Done, The Dip Keeps on Dipping, Total Market Cap Below $4T as BTC, XRP, ETH Slump VS USD

24-Sep-2025

Today, the majority of crypto news is being dominated by BTC and ETH, which continue to flash red against USD as September lives up to its brutal reputation. BTC is currently trading near $112,000, slipping 1.4% on the day, while ETH USD holds just under $4,200, barely avoiding a deeper flush.

The broader slump has dragged the total crypto market cap below $4 trillion, down between 1% and 4% in the past 24 hours alone. This dip is a structural unwind.

According to CoinGlass, liquidations have hit a staggering $1.6 billion, wiping out a lot of traders. While trading volume still ranges between $164 billion and $190 billion, desperate repositioning. This pattern is usually a sign of a downtrend that is far from over.

BTC USD and ETH USD: More Pain Before the Pivot?

BTC USD is testing key support levels. The 1% 24-hour drop (and nearly 4% weekly decline) is backed by a sharp decrease in open interest—over $1.5 billion in longs wiped out. This heavy selling pressure is consistent with macro jitters, especially the Fed’s hawkish stance on maintaining interest rates at 4.00%. If this pressure holds, expect btc logoBTC ▲0.45% to fall to $107,000 before finding meaningful support.

ETH is faring worse in percentage terms, down by almost 10% weekly against USD. DeFi is bleeding. Data from DefiLlama shows TVL dipping 1.73% to $88 billion, with protocols like Pendle falling over 4%.

Crypto News Sentiment: Fear and Historic Patterns

Right now, the space is firmly in “fear” territory on sentiment indices. Historical averages show that BTC USD typically dropped around 4.5% in September, and this year is playing out on cue. ETH and BTC are trading at cycle lows not seen since 2021. Capitulation might be far from complete.

However, there are signs of quiet accumulation. Institutional flows into BTC ETFs totaled $222 million last week. Plus, Friday’s $23 billion options expiry could trigger whiplash volatility. If history holds, October could bring a sharp rebound. Uptober is just a week away.

Post-listing, Fluid saw open interest rise sharply. Coinglass data showed significant inflows matching historical patterns of other successful crypto listings. Fluid Upbit pairs (KRW, USDT, and BTC) are those with the most active pairs within hours, which catalyzes the current pump.

According to DefiLlama, its total value locked (TVL) recently broke $1.5 billion, climbing steadily over the past few months.

Some compare Fluid to earlier-stage DeFi giants like Aave, pointing to stronger LTV ratios and a more efficient capital use model. Add to that a governance token with real utility and staking mechanics, and it comes with something more than just a hype, speculative pump. People even mentioned nearly $10 million in revenue-sharing and buybacks, a perfect metric for long-term plays.

By Akiyama Felix

The quest for a new presale to buy is gaining urgency as Trump-linked crypto projects like WLFI, Melania, and TRUMP face sell-offs. These tokens once promised politically backed breakthroughs; now they’re bleeding under pressure, and investor FUD is rampant. Are any of them salvageable, or is the real upside hidden in fresh launches elsewhere?
