Latest Crypto Market News Today, September 25: Why is Crypto Down Today? BTC Price Below 112K USD, ETH Dips Under 4K

[Redator]

Why is crypto down today? Why did the BTC USD price slide below 112K, and Ethereum break under 4K?

The entire crypto market shed more than $162 billion in value overnight, with total market cap now at $3.81 trillion. Liquidations have surged to over $400 million overnight, with the biggest loss of $29 million in ETH ▼-3.38% long.

The current situation could be a textbook flush as overleveraged traders are wiped out in a classic shakeout. It could be the end, but it could be just another chapter in crypto’s volatile cycles. But as we predicted yesterday, the current slump is not over.

BTC USD Price Dips: Why Is Crypto Down Today Amid ETF Outflows and Fed Signals?

One major reason why crypto is down today is the sudden reversal in ETF flows. According to multiple on-chain analysts, outflows from BTC ▼-0.80% and ETH ▼-3.38% ETFs totaled around $244 million are effectively ending a multi-week inflow streak. This coincides with the Federal Reserve’s 25 basis point cut which bring rates to 4.00%.

While many expected relief, Powell’s tone on inflation risks has kept institutions cautious. That stronger dollar is now weighing on risk appetite, pushing BTC USD price down to $111,758 and ETH to $4,020 when this article was written.

From a technical standpoint, this reminds the market of the post-rate-cut dip around mid-last year when BTC dropped 11% in a week. Support at 115K didn’t hold, and ETH losing the 4.2K mark was keeping altcoins under pressure. Still, this is a correction.

Funding rates, notably Ethereum, have flipped negative, a perfect sign of rising short interest. CoinGlass also shows declining open interest, which often precedes short squeezes when price bases hold.

Why is crypto down today, even as some alts show strength? Altcoins like Solana are down 11%, but BNB holding above 1K shows selective resilience. DeFi TVL, per DeFiLlama, dropped just under 1%, which is not really catastrophic, as some analysts made it look.

Sentiment is deep in fear territory, but history tells us fear often precedes rebounds.

If BTC reclaims 114K and ETH finds footing, this correction will turn into a base for the next leg higher. Until then, accumulation of weakness is likely in the play. This is a patient trader’s market. And as always, the bold tend to win when others panic.

By Akiyama Felix

Binance founder CZ has truly kicked off the ‘Perp DEX Szn’ following the huge ongoing success of ASTER and his X post from yesterday, which has garnered attention for others in the space. Traders are left wondering whether ASTER, DRIFT, HYPE, or another perp dex platform will be the next 1000x crypto as we head into Q4.

ASTER continues to dominate mindshare right now, as it holds steady above $2 following this morning’s market-wide dump that briefly saw ETH drop below $4,000.

Q4 Is The Best Pump Fun Best Quarter: Is This The End For PUMP Crypto and Solana?

By Akiyama Felix

PUMP crypto continues to be the ‘memecoin’ within the Solana ecosystem. Why? The answer is because SOL ▼-2.81% meme coins pop up rapidly via Pump.fun. Rather than fading, PUMP shows durable signs of life, and it keeps Solana underlying crypto active. The two remain deeply intertwined; PUMP depends on Solana speed and low fees, while the crypto chain benefits from the speculative excitement PUMP brings.

onboarding the masses takes time, but they are coming…

Recent figures challenge the declining PUMP narrative. Pump.fun routinely collects about $2.5 million in daily fees, translating to over $20.89 million in monthly revenue and pushing toward an annual run‑rate beyond $770 million. Over a 30‑day span, DEX volume through Pump.fun stands near $3.68 billion, while Solana crypto chains overall host about $76.64 million in daily trades. If PUMP crypto were dying, these numbers don’t show it.

As Bull Crypto Market Heads South: What’s Next For Bitcoin in 2025?

By Akiyama Felix

The bull crypto market *is* over, for crypto at least. You should have sold. To be clear, the whole of twitter was saying altseason is here last week. So where is it? What if you’re wrong and the bull market is actually over? And you still didn’t take advantage?

Every YouTuber and crypto influencer is telling us to HODL. No way they could all be wrong, right?

(Source: TradingView)

Just one week after the Fed’s first rate cut of 2025, Chair Jerome Powell struck a cautious note on Tuesday. He admitted the US labor market is softening, inflation is still running hot, and policymakers face what he called “two-way risk.”

“There is no risk-free path forward,” Powell said, leaving October’s policy decision wide open.

Futures now price in a 92% chance of another cut in October, up from 89.8% before Powell spoke, with traders betting on three total cuts by year-end. But will all of this be enough for the crypto markets if we enter another recession?
