Market Overview
In September, both the traditional financial markets and cryptocurrency markets suffered two sharp drops on September 3 and September 21. Three major Indexes of the US Stock Market slumped while mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as well as the DeFi tokens went down sharply. It’s worth noting that the Dollar Index rose during the slump. The dollar rose against all major developed market currencies owing to a global stock market rout and the concerns about COVID-19 cases rising, which fuelled the demand for safe-haven assets.
On the other hand, in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin and other top 10 tokens by market capitalization showed a downward trend to varying degrees, with DOT, LINK, and BNB all dropping by more than 10%. In contrast, Bitcoin fell less, the price of which did not break through the $10,000 USD barrier.
Compared with the mainstream cryptocurrencies, the DeFi tokens fell heavily, with YAMV2, YFV, KIMCHI, UNI, and others falling by more than 20% on average. The analysts believed that “there are two reasons for the decline of the crypto market: Firstly, the U.S. stock market is likely to break down and continue to decline; Secondly, UNI issuing signified the peak time of DeFi. There won’t be any innovative, strong-community projects in the market in the short term.”
Bitcoin prices outperformed other mainstream cryptos and DeFi tokens. Despite Bitcoin failed to shake off the influence of traditional financial markets, it held upon $10,000 level, providing confidence and imagination for the future. As of Sep 30, the BTC price is $10,777, down 0.59% in 24 hours.
