Hey everyone, it’s Crypto Willy here, your best friend next door who just happens to be obsessed with blockchain and digital currencies! Welcome back to The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, where we cut through the noise and serve up what’s really going on in crypto right now.

Big story this week: September is off to a wild start and the entire crypto community is feeling that classic September anxiety. Historically, September tends to be a rocky month for Bitcoin and altcoins—just ask analysts like Omkar Godbole over at CoinDesk, who’s been sounding alarms about BTC potentially sliding down to that $100,000 psychological line after breaking key support levels in August.

There’s legit concern out there with over $4.5 billion in token unlocks hitting the market this month. A lot of traders worry this huge injection of liquidity could mean extra selling pressure, especially for coins like XRP, which already lost about 10% in August. As reported on CoinCentral, XRP is hanging around $2.70 and flirting with a dangerous drop to $2 if things get uglier.

But it’s not just doom and gloom. Over at BlockByte, analysts are tracking on-chain whale activity—and what the crypto whales are doing is always headline worthy. Big money has started moving out of Bitcoin and into Ethereum and other high-conviction altcoins. Ethereum, in particular, saw a massive 3.8% of its circulating supply shifted into institutional wallets. That’s over $4 billion staked, pushing total value locked in DeFi to a record $200 billion. The message from the whales is clear: ETH and select alts like Chainlink, ADA, and even XRP (despite the turbulence) are seeing smart money move in for the long haul.

Meanwhile Bitcoin OG whales—yeah, those ancient hodlers—are making headlines for selling big stacks of BTC and flipping into ETH. This shifting market sentiment, combined with ETF outflows and slow U.S. demand, is putting a ceiling on Bitcoin for now. David Bailey, a prominent crypto commentator, says BTC’s price is being artificially capped by the big sell-side action. But, if these liquidations wrap up, we could see a rebound—some are even floating $150,000 Bitcoin targets post-liquidation.

Presales are having a moment, too. Projects like DeepSnitch AI and Bitcoin Hyper are being talked about as potential 1000x candidates, at least according to CoinCentral and Brave New Coin. Because these presales aren’t on the open market yet, they’re shielded from some of the volatility that might hit legacy tokens in the coming weeks.

And let’s not forget, the community is watching the FOMC meeting mid-September. If by some miracle Jerome Powell’s team signals a rate cut, we might see the whole crypto complex turn around on a dime, because risk-on assets love cheap money.

To wrap up, keep an eye on ETH whale moves, don’t ignore what’s happening with altcoin infrastructure like Chainlink and ADA, and remember: just because September historically stinks for crypto doesn’t mean you run for the hills. Historically, Q4 brings the real fireworks.
