[Grayscale September Market Report: Bitcoin Still Performs Strong Against the Background of Global Market Turbulence] According to Grayscale's September market report released on October 5, Bitcoin performed well in the global market volatility in September 2023. Bitcoin rose 4.1% in September, while most traditional assets suffered significant losses, especially in the context of rising U.S. bond yields, showing Bitcoin's characteristics as a "store of value" and "crisis haven". The report further suggests that Bitcoin's next price catalyst may come from the approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF. In particular, the SEC must seek a retrial of Grayscale's recent court ruling by October 13. If the SEC abandons the appeal, it will reconsider Grayscale's application to convert GBTC into a spot ETF, as well as other related Bitcoin spot ETF applications. Despite this, Grayscale warned that the broader financial market environment remains challenging. The Fed's tightening policy and government bond yields may still be looking for a new balance, and the "soft landing" of the U.S. economy is uncertain. Although Bitcoin's trading volume declined in September, various on-chain indicators improved: financing addresses, active addresses, and transaction numbers all increased.
