Crypto Market Overview
BTC (+1.8% | Current Price: $110,221.14)
Over the past 24 hours, BTC prices have fluctuated upward. After dipping to around $107,400 yesterday afternoon, the price quickly rebounded, reaching a high above $109,700. Early this morning, BTC was consolidating between $108,500 and $109,200. This morning, bulls re-emerged, pushing the price above $110,300. Currently, $108,500 has become key support, and continued upward movement could potentially push the price towards the $110,500-$111,000 range.
ETH (-0.01% | Current Price: $4,399.16)
Over the past 24 hours, ETH prices have experienced a period of ups and downs. Yesterday afternoon, it quickly surged to around $4,480 before fluctuating and falling, reaching a low of $4,210. This morning, ETH has gradually stabilized and is currently fluctuating between $4,350 and $4,380, indicating a recovery in bullish momentum.
Altcoins
The market displayed a mixed sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index moving into a state of 'Fear' (39). The altcoin market presented a mixed picture, with 64% of coins losing value in the last 24 hours. The RWA (Real World Assets) and PayFi sectors showed particular strength, outperforming the broader market. However, the meme sector faced challenges, with several prominent tokens experiencing declines.
Macro Data
Global macroeconomic factors continued influencing crypto markets, particularly Federal Reserve policy expectations. According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's FedWatch tool, the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in September has risen to 89.6%. This anticipation of monetary easing has impacted traditional markets and safe-haven assets: Gold prices reached record highs, briefly exceeding $3,500/ounce with year-to-date gains exceeding 33%.
Silver prices surpassed $40/ounce, reaching levels not seen since 2011. The U.S. Dollar Index weakened, falling below 98. These movements reflect growing investor confidence in impending monetary policy support, which historically benefits both precious metals and cryptocurrencies.
Trending Tokens
A2Z Arena-Z (+16.41%, Circulating Market Cap: $44.99 Million)
A2Z is trading at $0.006268, up approximately 16.41% in the past 24 hours. Arena-Z is a player-owned and operated next-generation Web3 gaming platform powered by the OP Superchain that will offer an immersive experience. A2Z broke above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level ($0.00617) and trades above its 7-day SMA ($0.0056). The RSI (54.83) suggests neutral momentum but rising buying pressure. Short-term traders likely entered positions after the breakout, though the 30-day SMA ($0.00607) now acts as support. However, the 90-day price remains down 9.4%, signaling lingering volatility risks.
MAV Maverick (+15.36%, Circulating Market Cap: $55.37 Million)
MAV is trading at $0.07992, with a 24-hour increase of approximately 15.36%. Maverick Protocol is a DeFi infrastructure provider focused on increasing industry efficiency, powered by Maverick AMM. Maverick is backed by Founders Fund, Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Binance Labs, Circle Ventures, Gemini, etc. MAV broke above its 7-day SMA ($0.07037) and 30-day EMA ($0.06079), with RSI (65.62) signaling bullish momentum but nearing overbought territory. The MACD histogram turned positive (+0.0013), confirming buying pressure. Short-term traders are chasing the breakout, but RSI above 70 could trigger profit-taking. Key resistance sits at 23.6% Fibonacci retracement ($0.0709).
LRC Loopring (+11.64%, Circulating Market Cap: $149.88 Million)
LRC is trading at $0.1096, with a 24-hour increase of approximately 8.94%. LRC is the Ethereum-based cryptocurrency token of Loopring, an open protocol designed for the building of decentralized crypto exchanges. Loopring’s surge combines improved margin accessibility, technical momentum, and broader altcoin strength. While bullish indicators dominate, the 74% drop in 24h volume vs July peaks suggests thinner liquidity could magnify pullbacks. We need to focus on whether LRC hold above the 23.6% Fibonacci level ($0.108) to confirm the breakout’s sustainability.
Market Insights
Trump project floats token burning as WLFI dips 30% after launch
The Trump family-tied decentralized finance project World Liberty Financial has issued a governance proposal to implement a token buyback and burn program using protocol-owned liquidity fees. World Liberty Financial governance has proposed using 100% of protocol fees generated from the platform’s own liquidity positions across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana to buy back WLFI tokens from the market and permanently destroy them through burning.
The mechanism, if voted in, will reduce the circulating supply of the token, which started trading on exchanges on Monday. It will also increase the relative ownership percentage of committed long-term holders and create a direct link between platform usage and token scarcity, it stated.
Tokenized Gold Market Tops $2.5B as the Precious Metal Nears Record Highs
On September 2, 2025, the crypto market reached a significant milestone: as gold prices approached their all-time highs in April, the market size of gold-backed tokens surpassed $2.57 billion for the first time. According to Coingecko data, Tether's XAUT and Paxos' PAXG were the core drivers of this growth.
XAUT is a token issued by stablecoin giant Tether and directly backed by physical gold. Data shows that XAUT's supply surged by $437 million in August, pushing its market capitalization to a record $1.3 billion. Etherscan blockchain records show that Tether minted 129,000 tokens on the Ethereum network in early August alone, highlighting the market's strong demand for safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, PAXG, issued by Paxos, has also performed strongly. DefiLlama data shows that PAXG has attracted $141.5 million in inflows since June, expanding its market capitalization to $983 million, also a record high. This suggests that investors are actively allocating gold through tokenized forms to hedge against macroeconomic risks.
The current international gold price is approximately $3,490 per ounce, just shy of the peak reached during the tariff storm on April 22. Gold is traditionally viewed as a safe haven in turbulent times, and recent changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve has further fueled capital inflows into the gold market.
