A weeend bounce in crypto stalled during the Monday U.S. session with investors still fearing further declines

Bitcoin BTC$109,587.71 traded just above $111,000 late Monday, up nearly 2% over the past 24 hours but off earlier highs. Ether ETH$3,942.26 slipped slightly below $4,000, down 0.2% on the day.

XRP$2.4571 and Chainlink LINK$18.38 led gains in the CoinDesk 20 Index, while privacy-focused token ZEC$263.65, not included in the index, stood out with a 17% rally.

Most digital asset-related stocks were also in the green on Monday, benefiting from crypto’s weekend relief rally. Bitcoin miners Riot Platforms (RIOT) and MARA Holdings (MARA) jumped nearly 10% and 6%, respectively, while Galaxy Digital (GLXY) rose 5%.

Reset, not a breakdown, Arca says

While concerns somewhat eased over the weekend, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index is still in deep “fear” territory with some analysts calling for the end of the bull market and more severe correction coming.

Digital asset investment firm Arca, however, pushed back on the idea that the recent crypto bounce is short-lived.

In a Monday note, the firm’s analysts argued that the sharp selloff earlier this month was part of a broader reset, not a collapse. “Spine-tingling” episodes like October 10’s crash and leveraged wipeout leave traders rattled, but the key, Arca analysts wrote, is what happens next: and right now, key market functions are recovering.

They pointed to several signs of structural healing. Exchange volumes have risen about 15% week-over-week, open interest on decentralized perpetuals is building again, and liquidity is returning, they said.

Arca analysts also noted easing macro pressure. Stress in the U.S. regional banking sector appears to have faded, borrowing from the Fed’s emergency liquidity facilities dropped to zero on Friday, and high-yield credit spreads are tightening again, signaling calmer conditions.

“We’ve seen this song and dance too many times to be bearish due to a structural blip,” Arca wrote. “The rebound we’re witnessing isn’t just a dead cat bounce.”

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715. The near-term trend of the pair remains bearish as it stays below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around 1.3800. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) slides to near 40.00. A fresh bearish momentum would emerge if the RSI falls below that level. Going forward, the asset could slide towards the round level of…

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
