🔍 What Was Going On ~25 September 2024?

On 25 September 2024, crypto was holding onto a surprisingly strong September run, defying its usual seasonal weakness. Bitcoin was steady in the mid-$60K range, supported by the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cuts that reignited appetite for risk assets. Ethereum traded just above $2.5K, while altcoins showed renewed strength, with the broader market starting to break out of months of consolidation. Investor mood was cautiously upbeat, driven by both macro tailwinds and the sense that crypto was edging further into mainstream finance.

Momentum was reinforced by regulatory and institutional progress. The SEC’s approval of options on spot Bitcoin ETFs marked a major milestone, while traditional players like BNY Mellon expanded custody offerings. Industry buzz from events like Token2049 also helped fuel fresh narratives, with AI-linked tokens, layer-2 scaling, and upcoming protocol upgrades catching traders’ attention. By late September 2024, crypto wasn’t just weathering the month — it was setting up a tone of optimism for the final quarter of the year.
