[LIVE] Crypto News Today, September 3 – Solana Breaks $209, Outperforming BTC and ETH: Best Altcoin to Buy?

[Redator]

The crypto market closed August with its most active month since January, as spot trading volumes climbed across major exchanges. Data from The Block shows that monthly spot volume reached $1.86 trillion in August, a 5% rise from July’s $1.77 trillion. Binance maintained its lead with $737.1 billion in spot trades, its highest since January, followed by Bybit with $126.5 billion and Bitget with $126.1 billion.

This renewed activity comes alongside shifting investor preferences around the best altcoin to buy. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs attracted $3.87 billion in August inflows, while Bitcoin ETFs saw $751.1 million in outflows during the same month.

However, this trend reversed on Tuesday as spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $332.7 million in net inflows, led by Fidelity’s FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT, while Ethereum ETFs saw $135 million in outflows. Analysts say this may signal a short-term rebalancing toward Bitcoin’s perceived stability, even as Ethereum retains stronger yield potential over the long term.

Meanwhile, decentralized exchanges also saw their busiest month since January, with volumes hitting $368.8 billion. Uniswap led at $143 billion, followed by PancakeSwap at $58.7 billion.

Trading data suggests sustained demand, with buying pressure overcoming multiple attempts by sellers to stall the uptrend. This strength may reflect a rotation of capital from Ethereum to Solana, also visible on the SOL/ETH pair, where Solana has outperformed since late August.
