Yesterday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw total net inflows of $190.7 million. Of this, BlackRock’s IBIT alone accounted for $162.6 million, or 85%. Fidelity’s FBTC brought in $12.9 million, Morgan Stanley’s MSBT $10.2 million, Franklin’s EZBC $4.9 million, and Bitwise’s BITB $4.1 million.

Ethereum spot ETFs recorded net inflows of $66.1 million, but no specific breakdown was provided.

What’s worth paying attention to isn’t the total amount, but the structure. The $190 million figure is almost entirely contributed by IBIT alone; the other four combined are under $30 million. Morgan Stanley’s MSBT making it into the tens-of-millions range counts as incremental growth, but based on single-day data, it’s hard to judge whether that momentum is sustainable.

Next, we’ll look at the data for September 25: whether MSBT continues to see net inflows, and which firm is driving that $66.1 million in Ethereum. If IBIT continues to dominate on its own, then this round of ETF net inflows reflects more of BlackRock’s channel-harvesting capability than a broader market demand spreading out.

Bitget’s $351.6 million is not a contract vulnerability.

Instead, the key backend system of the wallet service was compromised. The hackers forged transfer information and moved assets directly out across multiple chains. In the contract attack chain, you can see abnormal calls; the backend forged the transfer path. On-chain, it may look like only a single normal transfer.

So what’s most worth watching here isn’t the amount—it’s whether Bitget will disclose the affected addresses or the specific batches that were withdrawn/transferred out. Once they disclose that, you can trace and break down the few cross-chain transfers into individual components on-chain. If they don’t, you’ll be stuck with only the official statement.

The protection fund says it can cover the losses—that’s about reimbursement capability, not on-chain evidence.

Bitget has already paused withdrawals. Next, before withdrawals are restored, look at whether it provides a verifiable on-chain path.

The live stream has started

When BTC broke below 83,000, the whole network saw $116 million liquidated in one hour—$113 million from long positions, accounting for 97.66%. This isn’t a long-short mutual kill; it’s a one-sided wipeout of longs.

BTC contributed $51.086 million, ETH $29.582 million, and XRP $7.847 million. What’s even more concentrated is Hyperliquid: $39.451 million in liquidations, making up 34.11% of the entire network. Almost all of it was long positions—at least 6 addresses got pulled in. Public data only shows positions starting with 0x926a; the full list hasn’t been released yet.

Up to here, BTC has already returned to around 84,435, but the leveraged gap left behind by the liquidations is still there. Next, I only look at one piece of data: whether these 6 addresses have added margin and reopened longs. If they topped up, they’re rushing back into the market; if they don’t, this wave is a cleanup for Hyperliquid’s long side.

The higher BTC rises, the heavier his short positions.

On Hyperliquid, the #1 largest BTC short seller is VBVIT, a Polymarket (prediction market platform) user tag. He holds 1,320.73 BTC in short positions, about $112 million, using 25x leverage, with an average opening price of 79,470. Based on this morning’s BTC spot price of 86,476, the spread has already widened to around $7,000.

At this point he’s still adding to the position—he could keep chasing. But I won’t guess his motivation—whether he’s betting on an oversold bounce or just going all-in with leverage; there’s nothing in the record that confirms it. The only thing we can be sure of is that the position is still increasing.

Next, I’ll watch only one number: after 1,320.73, whether the shorts continue to increase or start to reduce—0xfc27. Around 86,500 for the price—this will be very direct.

On September 20, ZEC dropped 7.7%; the 0xcbab on Hyperliquid moved first.

That day, it actively reduced its holdings by about $5.245 million worth of ZEC, but it still holds roughly $12.921 million in long positions—less than 5% away from the liquidation price. This address holds 8,933.8 ZEC and is currently showing an unrealized loss of $279,000.

After the active reduction, it still hovers right by the liquidation line—more like lowering the position slightly rather than truly exiting. The next step isn’t to guess direction; it’s to observe the actions: will it continue cutting, or will it add margin to stubbornly hold on?

Among the four whale accounts that chased the rally, only 0xcbab has been disclosed so far. Next, check two data points: whether 0xcbab’s ZEC long balance keeps decreasing; and whether the other three addresses have been disclosed. If all four addresses are clustered around the same liquidation line, then this wall is worth watching.

58bro.eth bought a package of 「a drop that can go down, but can’t break through $70,000」.

On Polymarket (a decentralized prediction market), he bought a contract on BTC that won’t fall below $70,000 and won’t rise above $95,000. Between September 19 and 20, he accumulated about 10,000 contracts; combined, it roughly approximates trading within the remaining range of volatility for September. On the other side, on Hyperliquid (a decentralized perpetual futures trading exchange), he continued to expand his BTC short position, which now totals about $26 million.

The part where these two actions align is this: at BTC’s current price of $80,500, he’s betting the price can’t reach above $95,000, but there’s still room to the downside. However, all that the facts can confirm is his actions across the two markets and the size of his short exposure; they can’t confirm his true motivation. He might be hedging his shorts, or he might just want a bounded kind of decline.

Next, watch two things: whether BTC will move toward $70,000 before month-end without breaking below $70,000; and whether his Hyperliquid short position keeps growing or starts to unwind. Whether his position gets larger or smaller is more real than any interpretation.

This NEAR unrealized profit feels like a collective paper fortune.

TradingBeats’ data from September 18: On Hyperliquid, there were seven NEAR long positions; each coin’s unrealized profit exceeded $1 million, totaling about $23.107 million. Of that, the accounts tagged with “OG巨鲸mk4” were calculated at $6.3 million. Back then, NEAR was trading at $3.44.

Two days later, looking again: using Binance’s figures, the current NEAR price is $3.60, but over the past 24 hours it actually fell 5.34%. The price is higher than before, yet it slid down from an even higher point. That $23.1 million unrealized profit didn’t keep climbing—it has already entered the phase of whether it can be held.

The biggest fear with collective unrealized gains is that no one is the first to reduce. The next step is to watch just one number: whether the open positions of NEAR on Hyperliquid have declined—especially whether the mk4-tagged accounts have taken the $6.3 million profit off the table. If they haven’t reduced, then it’s still just paper numbers.

The Garrett Jin entity labeled as EmberCN held 100,784 BTC between May and June 2018 at an average price of $7,242. If these coins have not moved, at the current price of $81,330 they would be worth about $8.2 billion. A year ago, it was still above $10 billion.

Over the past year, it has repeatedly incurred losses in large crypto investments, but the confidence that keeps it going isn’t new money—it’s selling BTC. The evidence is clear in the on-chain records: the capital used for subsequent investments mainly came from selling BTC. So the story I see isn’t that some genius is adding aggressively against the trend; it’s that a low-cost BTC core holding is being sold off to plug holes in other directions.

The tens of millions of dollars of unrealized loss from its ZEC short positions are indeed negligible compared to a $10 billion BTC base. But what’s worth watching isn’t how much it’s losing—it’s whether it’s still selling BTC.

Next, there’s only one data point to watch: whether any of the entity’s associated addresses has new BTC transfers out, and whether those transfers are headed to centralized exchanges. If sell-side activity continues, it means the gap is still widening; if BTC stops moving, it suggests the funds in the market are hard-holding. There are no specific addresses yet, so we can only wait for EmberCN’s next batch of disclosures.

Under the 24h time frame, the S&P 500 is down 0.25%, while XAUT (gold token) has hardly moved. US stocks related to crypto haven’t tracked the broader market: Coinbase (US crypto exchange) is 178.80, up 5.28%. During the day it ran from 166.14 to 180.84, and the current price is near the high. MSTR (MicroStrategy) is 136.46, up 4.77%, also trading near the high. This is a line with independent buy orders.

Among mining stocks, MARA (Bitcoin mining company) is the strangest. Based on its current price, the traded value is about $8.26 million—more than twice that of RIOT (Bitcoin mining company) and 2.6 times that of CLSK (Bitcoin mining company). Yet the price only rose 4.12%, just 0.14 percentage points higher than RIOT. Volume is piling up, but the price hasn’t pulled away; selling pressure doesn’t look light.

Next, we’ll see whether tomorrow Coinbase can hold the breakout zone from 178 to 180. If MARA continues to see increased volume but lagging price action, then it’s old capital in mining stocks borrowing liquidity to distribute—not fresh money moving in.

A long position worth $2.3879 million, with only a remaining unrealized loss of $24.9k. The 0x45c3…-starting address on Hyperliquid has two cross-asset interconnection long positions, and it’s close to breaking even.

LITE (optical communications equipment company Lumentum) has already turned profitable, but MRVL (chip company Marvell) is still slightly short. Over the past 24 hours, the unrealized profit/loss improved by about $165.6k.

The focus isn’t on the price increase—it's on how this address should manage to get back to the break-even line. LITE is already positive; next, should it reduce the position to lock in part of the gains, or should it continue waiting for MRVL to turn up as well.

Mining companies collectively moved into the spotlight list today: Hut8 (HUT, Bitcoin mining company) +6.88%, CleanSpark (CLSK, Bitcoin mining company) +5.63%, Riot Platforms (RIOT, Bitcoin mining company) +4.32%, and MARA Holdings (Bitcoin mining company) +3.71%.

On the other hand, MicroStrategy (MSTR) -0.20% and Coinbase (U.S. crypto exchange) -1.62%. Two of the most direct crypto proxies—one was flat and one was down.

I suspect the money isn’t simply buying “crypto exposure,” but is instead concentrated in mining companies. If it were just a rebound in crypto sentiment, Coinbase shouldn’t be the one with the largest decline. Mining companies are strong while Coinbase is weak—this divergence is more worth watching than the gain in any single mining stock.

Hut8 traded only 138,000 shares—smallest among the four—yet its upside was the biggest. The low liquidity makes the stock’s characteristics quite evident, so it can’t be taken as confirmation of direction.

Tonight, I’ll watch two things: whether BTC is rising in sync. If BTC goes sideways or even weakens, and mining stocks keep strengthening, then this move looks even more like the mining companies’ own hashpower story, detached from spot. If MSTR and COIN still close at levels near their intraday lows, the divergence won’t be accidental.

USDC cross-chain to Arc—purchased at a premium of 80% to 100%, like being raised up to it. This is not arbitrage; it’s buying an entry ticket.

About two hours after Circle’s (the stablecoin issuer) Arc mainnet went live, the total on-chain USDC reached 372 million units, roughly 0.05% of the total USDC supply. The number of addresses is about 176,000. Some of this capital had already been cross-chained into Arc before the mainnet launched. At that time, the price of USDC on Arc was 80% to 100% higher than 1:1. In other words, before they even encountered early Meme coins, they had already paid nearly double the cost just to get in.

As for the route of these 372 million USDC units, details aren’t visible at the moment. My guess is that it includes both newly added funds after launch and that earlier batch that crossed over ahead of time. The 176,000 addresses also don’t allow us to tell how many are real users versus how many were “jump-the-gun” accounts.

The next thing that can be verified is the price movement after the early Meme coins on Arc open. If the post-listing gains can’t end up covering that 80% to 100% entry premium in reverse, then these high-cost USDC could become the source of supply for the first wave of concentrated selling. If the price rise does match the corresponding premium, then the story of entering at a premium would be considered valid.

Rate hikes themselves aren’t news.

25 basis points, moving from 3.75% to 4%, is the first time since July 2023. But what really deserves attention is the dot plot: 16 officials believe there will be at least one more hike between 2026 onward. The market has already shifted from waiting for rate cuts to betting on three more hikes next year.

This expectation flip is sharper than the rate itself. The higher rates go, the more pressure there is on on-chain borrowing costs, stablecoin supply, and ETF fund flows.

As for crypto, things are currently almost dull. BTC is still above 76,000, and ETH hasn’t broken down. There hasn’t been the kind of one-way panic seen in prior tightening cycles. Either liquidity is already so thin it can’t react, or someone is quietly absorbing the moves from below.

For now, I won’t guess which one. What matters next isn’t how prices move, but whether stablecoins contract, whether on-chain rates bite higher, and whether spot ETF money begins to price in “higher for longer” again.

That line is the real story of capital. The opening has only just begun.

Gas fees aren’t ETH—they’re paid in USDC.

Circle’s public chain Arc went live on the mainnet today. Founding validators: BlackRock, DTCC, Visa, Mastercard, ICE, Standard Chartered, SBI, Galaxy, and MoneyGram—all are key players in traditional financial settlement networks. Gas is paid with USDC, with sub-second finality.

Before launch, some people were accumulating aggressively—the cost was paying a 80%–100% premium in USDC. Two hours after launch, the data came out: 372 million USDC on-chain, across 176,000 addresses. But 372 million is only 0.05% of the total USDC supply.

These figures are contradictory: the premium is close to double, yet the migration volume is only five-thousandths. This suggests that what’s coming in isn’t large-scale movement of existing USDC balances, but early speculators—on-chain Memes have already run through a full cycle: ARCAT’s market cap briefly broke $5 million, up +1288% in 24 hours, with $1.6 million in trading volume. It then pulled back about 40% from its peak and is currently at $3.5 million.

The federal-level regulatory framework vote failed; the first to fall was crypto stocks.

Circle dropped by about 10%, while Coinbase fell about 9.9%. Crypto-holding companies were hit as well: American Bitcoin -8%, Strategy and Strive each around -5%. Miners took a full downturn: Riot -6%, CleanSpark nearly 5%, Hut 8 over 4%, IREN nearly 4%.

This is a transmission chain of "the same bad news, the same timing, different leverage." Stablecoin issuers and exchanges are most sensitive to the bill because they rely most on federal-level rule certainty; miners and crypto-holding companies are more carried off by liquidity and beta.

On-chain, there’s no way to see the motive—only the outcome. After the BTC vote, it briefly broke below 75,000. Within 24 hours, it slid all the way down from above 78,000. The current price is about 75,800, down 2.7% for the day. XRP fell even harder—about -9%—and the federal market structure has long been one of the variables it’s been repeatedly traded around.

The next thing worth tracking isn’t a stock-price rebound, but where the money is going: if funds keep staying in crypto stocks, it means the market is betting that the SEC/CFTC will patch the rules themselves; if funds continue flowing out, it suggests that "certainty" is itself the reason for holding.

0xa61c This ETH short didn’t chase the price higher; instead, they added size to the buyback orders below. After canceling the original buy orders, they re-posted from 2280 to 2437, totaling 40,000 ETH. The amount increased from about $57.81 million to $94.699 million, up 63.8%. The upper and lower price bounds were only lifted by $30 and $46, respectively.

Currently, ETH is at 2473, which is still $36 away from the upper bound. Nearly 100 million worth of buy orders aren’t showing in the order book; they’re waiting for a pullback. Compared to rushing the price up, they’d rather expand the pickup volume.

Next, watch whether 2437 can be touched, and whether these 40,000 units will execute in one trade—or get canceled again.

0.005 USDT: the final qualitative verdict on a CEX platform token.

CoinEx wasn’t shut down by regulators. It was Yang Haipo who admitted defeat and closed it himself. His exact words were: “Assuming unlimited risk for only limited returns is no longer a rational choice.” That sentence is heavier than the shutdown itself—it means the bookkeeping for the CEX platform-token business can no longer add up.

Revenue may decline, but the responsibilities for safety and compliance won’t. In the past, platform tokens could still be propped up by expectations. Now even the founder is willing to repurchase CET at the initial listing price—effectively ending the platform token story himself.

At a price of 0.005: if the market price is higher than that, holders won’t sell back; if it’s far lower, the losses for that batch have already been locked in. Either way, this price is setting up a final liquidation.

Who will be the next one to voluntarily shut down? It depends on who’s still using platform tokens to keep running a ledger that can’t be balanced.

September 15th $BTC market analysis

BTC has made an oversold rebound over the past 12 hours, with support around 76,300

The bottoming adjustment hasn’t ended yet. It surged a bit yesterday—today we’ll look for a pullback and rebound within the day

As long as 76,300 doesn’t break, the 12-hour rebound行情 has a chance to kick off
If it breaks, then we’ll look next at the daily chart; as time passes, the daily support will move upward
Right now it’s around: 73,360, and it may move up to: 75,800

So for trade planning, you can consider: 76,800 75,800 74,800 73,800
These key supports—scale in long orders

Intraday support tends to be slightly higher: 77,280 76,800 76,300

Overhead resistance zone: 79,500 81,000 82,200

Currently the bias is bullish. Since we’re near 76,500, there’s no need to chase a short—downside space is limited

Personally, I still prefer long positions at lower levels

9.15 $ETH ETH market analysis

ETH is currently trading in a high-range consolidation, showing strong momentum

The 12-hour price action is as follows

Support levels below: 2400 2398 2388 2355

Intraday support: 2480 2430

We are still in the adjustment phase; in the short term, price may move up and down

As long as 2355 does not break down meaningfully, the market will not be weak

However, to break out of this trading range to the upside, it will need time for further consolidation

Resistance levels above: 2610 2620 2655
