Latest Crypto News Today, September 9: Crypto Fear And Greed Index Hitting Neutral, and Altcoin Season Index Rockets as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana Gain Tractions

[Ben Graham]

Today, the crypto market seems to be breathing a sigh of relief amid some fud news. The Fear and Greed Index has bounced back to a neutral zone at 48 after the fear mood last week.

Bitcoin is crushing above $113K or up by more than 1.3%. On the other hand, Ethereum is holding its ground near $4,350, showing its strength after dipping bellow $4,300 early on this month. Meanwhile, the total crypto market cap has reached about $3.96 trillion, a confident atmosphere closing to $4 trillion.

Institutional interest feels more tangible now. Bitcoin ETFs pulled in roughly $246 million this week, led by big players such as BlackRock and Fidelity, showing that the smart money is entering quietly. El Salvador hasn’t slowed down either as it added 21 new BTC to its holdings, now totaling more than 6,300 coins. That kind of state-level commitment adds a certain solidity.

Altcoins Drawing Spotlight In Crypto News Today

The Altcoin Season Index surged up to 61, as Bitcoin dominance has hovered at 60% for more than a month now. Money is rotating mostly into AI tokens, which saw a 14% run by 14% in a single day.

Worldcoin shot up 55%, driven by news of treasury adoption. And XRP ▲3.23% climbed 4%, buoyed by growing bets on a Fed rate cut and expanding custody partnerships in Spain.

On the charts, BTC ▲0.97% nudged above its 20-day moving average at around $112k, and this could light the fuse for a short squeeze. If macro data such as Thursday’s CPI release doesn’t stir trouble, analysts see a path toward a gradual altseason.

Elsewhere, BitMine recently became the largest ETH ▲1.18% holder with over 2 million coins. Platforms like Coinbase and Kraken are deepening their Ethereum integration, and Chainlink is eyeing a move toward $35 amid mounting ETF interest.

All of these developments display why crypto news today isn’t just about numbers, but also the foundation of sentiment, adoption, and strategic interest. That foundation might just support gains ahead.
