Michael Barr, a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, made notable statements about the outlook for inflation, interest-rate policy, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the U.S. economy.
Inflation and interest-rate policy:
- Barr said it is still not clear whether inflation will return to the Federal target of 2% in a timely manner, and that the risk of not achieving this goal has increased.

Mathew Hoga... said, the chief investment officer (CIO) at Bitwise, during an appearance on the New Era Finance podcast, that the quartet he previously described as "the four most important names" in the crypto market is still correct: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Chainlink (LINK). This came in the context of his assessment of the projects that stood out in the latest bull cycle.

On September 29, 2026, Aave is trading at $166.39, with daily fees and at a one-hour and 15-minute interval the price is almost the same. This alignment usually indicates either a state of balance or a strong move that is forming; with momentum extending across all timeframes, the second scenario appears more likely.
Quick summary:
- Relative Strength Index (RSI) is high across all three timeframes: 69.48 daily, 74.1 on the hour, and 72.84 on 15 minutes.

After Solana (SOL) briefly dipped below $100 in mid-September, when it became clear that the CLARITY bill would not pass in the near term, the coin saw a strong recovery. In this context, the well-known on-chain analyst Ali Martinez says there is growing evidence pointing to an impending rally toward $150.
Martinez’s latest evidence:
Martinez reiterated in a post on the X platform on September 29 that a bullish breakout for Solana is coming, based on flows into spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

**Chainlink Launches CCIP 2.0 for Institutional Cross-Chain Asset Distribution**
Chainlink launched CCIP 2.0 on September 28, giving financial institutions a neutral layer to move tokenized assets across public and private blockchains as banks and asset managers increasingly issue equities, funds, and currencies onchain.
**Key features:**
- A new Cross-Chain Verifier (CCV) system lets institutions run their own attestation checks on top of Chainlink's existing verification layer, deployable via starter kits for AWS and Google Cloud, plus support from third-party verifiers like Infosys and Nethermind.
- Built-in compliance tools handle KYC, AML, and sanctions screening automatically, with adjustable settings for near-instant transfers versus full finality.
- Chainlink says CCIP now secures over $84 billion in cross-chain token value and holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications.
- Backers and partners named include AWS, ANZ Bank, Archax, Deutsche Börse's Crypto Finance, Fidelity International, Google Cloud, SBI Digital Markets, Sygnum, Taurus, plus DeFi platforms Aave, Lido, and Maple.
- The upgrade follows the $292 million Kelp DAO exploit, where attackers drained funds through a LayerZero bridge relying on a single verifier. Chainlink's Johann Eid said institutions need "a neutral standard" for cross-chain asset movement, contrasting it with insecure legacy bridges and costly in-house builds.

XRP’s price rose by about 17% over two weeks, while sellers continued their activity in both perpetual futures markets and spot trading markets. Between September 16 and 27, XRP’s price climbed from around $1.30 to around $1.52, but market flow data shows that selling activity kept increasing during this rally.
Collapse of the CVD indicator in perpetual futures and the spot market:

Starling broke Stellar's (XLM) transaction speed record, reaching a peak of 217.4 transactions per second (TPS) over a window of 100 blocks, according to the Chainspect analytics platform. The previous record, around 211 TPS, lasted less than two weeks. The new peak was recorded on September 26, and the rise was driven by a genuine inflow of institutional capital, not by artificial stress tests.

Three leading listed coins by highest gain over the past seven days: Quant (QNT) with an increase of about 300%, followed by Bitwei (BTW) at around 78%, then Sui (SUI) at around 30%. The charts for the three coins are still positive, but indicators of buying saturation and a decline in trading volumes suggest that the first week of October may see tests of support levels.

Despite the headlines that link the collapse of Bitcoin and rising oil prices closely, this year’s data shows that Bitcoin largely ignores oil price fluctuations. But oil could affect it indirectly, through inflation and central bank policies.
No significant link over 5 years
Refer to the daily, weekly, and monthly changes in Brent and West Texas (WTI) crude from Federal Reserve (FRED) data, and to the price of Bitcoin from platforms such as CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap. The result is that the correlation coefficient between the two assets is very close to zero across all timeframes.

Jan Nieuwenhuijs, known in the markets for his analyses of gold, has come back into the spotlight after republishing a post he wrote about Bitcoin back in 2013. In that post he wrote: «I recommend that everyone buys at least one Bitcoin. Risk $300 and you have a chance to make $10,000».
This time, he didn’t just remind his followers of his old prediction—he also recommended buying the QNT coin, the native token of the Quant Network. In his latest post, he said: «I recommend that everyone buys at least one QNT unit today».

Digital currency markets are catching their breath after a strong rally, as Bitcoin fell to around $82,742, down by nearly 1% since Friday and by more than 2% over the past 24 hours, after pulling away from the $84,000 level. Investors are digesting recent gains while focus turns to a busy economic calendar following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate hike last week, which has brought the target interest rate to 4%.

Bitcoin has no centralized issuing authority and no profit reports; therefore, its price is determined by what buyers and sellers are willing to pay on exchanges. On September 28, 2026, the coin is trading near $82,959, down 2.15% over the past 24 hours, and about 34% below its all-time high of $126,080 in October 2025. The article reviews the main forces that drive the price in both directions, using events from this month as a practical example.

Bitcoin and Nasdaq futures kicked off the new week on a weak note after U.S. President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of launching new military strikes on Iran before the early-November midterm elections.
### Price action
At 03:30 GMT, Bitcoin fell 1.3% to around $83,324, with major alternative coins such as Ethereum, XRP, and Solana posting similar losses. Nasdaq futures were also down 0.7%, while front-month WTI crude oil futures rose by about 1% to $93.28 per barrel, with similar gains for Brent crude.

Cardano (ADA) price stabilized near $0.2537 on September 28, up 11.5% over the week, with the $0.26 level remaining the first resistance that traders are watching. Meanwhile, Bitcoin traded near $84,244, Ethereum at $2,679, and XRP at $1.51, while the market value for the overall market was around $2.98 trillion, and Cardano’s market cap neared $9.52 billion.

The four major cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) and **Ethereum (ETH)**, **Solana (SOL)**, and **Ripple (XRP)**, recorded strong gains during September, driving the total market capitalization from $2.62 trillion on September 1 to $2.87 trillion at the time of writing. Analysts now expect possible closing levels for these coins on September 30, while the Fear & Greed Index reading of 70 indicates that the market is still in the "Greed" zone.

The cryptocurrency market saw a turbulent week amid concerns about the possibility of reaching a peace agreement between Iran and the United States, a major breach of the Bitget platform, and the possibility that the U.S. Federal Reserve may raise interest rates again. Bitcoin rose by more than 4% during the week, while most altcoins did not record a similar increase despite many of them being in the green zone.

American economist Peter Schiff warned that weakness in "market breadth" in the S&P 500 could be a sign that downside risks are building up, even as the index remains close to its record levels.
In a post on the X platform dated September 26, the chef pointed to a significant divergence beneath the market surface: while the S&P 500 index is trading at a level only about 0.7% below its all-time high, there are 430 companies within the index’s components trading at an average decline of more than 21% from their peaks, which means that roughly 86% of the index’s stocks are effectively in a bear market.

The cryptocurrency market saw a sense of anticipation over the weekend, as the latest wave of gains for major altcoins faded, while Bitcoin’s price remained confined to a narrow range above $84,000. Meanwhile, the total market value of all cryptocurrencies rose to $2.89 trillion. This article reviews forecasts for the performance of three of the most prominent coins: Quant (QNT), Zcash (ZEC), and Cardano (ADA).
