What Happened in Crypto Today: The Longest Bull Run We’ve Ever Seen?
Is Bitcoin gearing up for its most epic run yet?
That's the buzz lighting up CT this week.
But let's pump the brakes and dig into what's really going on.
A few big names in the crypto space are making some eyebrow-raising predictions. We're talking about a potential long-term upswing in both crypto and gold markets. And when I say long-term, I mean long-term.
These analysts aren't thinking in months or even years—they're looking at a whole decade.
Now, I know what you're thinking. A 10-year bull run sounds more like a crypto investor's fever dream than a solid prediction. And you're right to be skeptical. After all, in crypto, today's hot take is tomorrow's old news.
But here's the thing—these aren't just random Twitter prophets. These are analysts with some serious clout in the industry. They've got their reasons for such bullish outlooks.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin's been doing its usual rollercoaster routine. It recently flirted with that $60K level we've all been watching, only to settle back into the $58K range. Just another day in crypto, right?
So what exactly is going on in the market? Let’s make sense of it all! Here is a quick rundown of the top headlines from the past 24 hours:

But first,
A Quick Analysis
The big news for this week? The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates for the first time since 2020.
Why does it matter? Bitcoin's price often moves in sync with these rate changes.
But there is a problem. Lately, Bitcoin hasn't been following the expected pattern. Even though people are expecting the rates to go down, Bitcoin's price hasn't gone up yet (historically, such expectations boosted Bitcoin’s price). This could mean the rate cuts might not be as big or last as long as we thought.
It's a reminder that while crypto is becoming more correlated to TradFi, it still maintains its unique behavior.
Investors Are Cautious But Curious
Here's an interesting trend: fewer people are trading on exchanges right now. It's as if investors are taking a pause, waiting to see what happens next. We saw something similar in early 2023 before prices took off later in the year.
And… Institutions Seem To Prefer BTC Over ETH
When it comes to big investors, there's a clear favorite: Bitcoin. While both Bitcoin and Ethereum investment funds are seeing some outflows, Bitcoin is still attracting more interest. This could indicate that institutional investors see more potential in Bitcoin at the moment.
Market Mood: Calm Before the Storm?
The market seems to be in a state of anticipation, possibly waiting for a significant event or trend to emerge. This could mean we're due for a notable move soon, but the direction remains uncertain.
What Should You Do?
With all this going on, it's important to stay informed. The Fed's decision could significantly impact the market, so watch how Bitcoin reacts. Consider diversifying your investments to manage risk in these uncertain times.
If you believe in Bitcoin's long-term potential, the strong mining activity and network growth could be seen as positive indicators. However, always remember to only invest what you can afford to lose. Conduct thorough research before making any financial decisions.
Let’s dive into today’s top stories now!
The Longest Bull Run We’ve Ever Seen!
Michaël van de Poppe's talking about a potential 10-year rally in crypto and commodities (it's not every day you hear someone call for a decade-long bull run)
His reasoning? Commodities are trading at prices we haven't seen since Y2K was a thing. That's right, we're talking 2000 levels, and in some cases, all the way back to 1971.
But it's not just Van de Poppe. Raoul Pal's chiming in too, talking about a global liquidity spike that could send Bitcoin to the moon.
But why are they all so bullish all of a sudden? Read the full story!
Catizen's Token Launch
Catizen, TG’s (probably) most popular game, is about to make its big crypto debut.
The CATI token is set to launch on September 20, and the team's laying out a roadmap that's got players twitching with anticipation.
On September 14, Catizen is taking a snapshot of players' progress.
Is there a specific eligibility criteria? And what exchanges will it be trading on? Read the full story!
Saylor's $1.1B Bet
Micheal Saylor is back in the headlines again. Why? Microstrategy just scooped up $1.1 billion worth of Bitcoin, their biggest buy since 2021.
Let's break it down: 18,300 Bitcoin at an average of $60,408 each. That brings their total stash to 244,800 BTC. We're talking about $14.14 billion worth of digital gold.
What exactly got them so bullish on Bitcoin? Read the full story!
Trump's Golf Game Interrupted
Reports are coming in about shots fired near the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
Trump's spokesperson, Steven Cheung, kept it brief: "President Trump is safe." Short, sweet, and to the point.
But Donald Trump Jr. is talking about an AK-47 found at the scene.
If true, this would be Trump's second brush with an assassination attempt this year. Right around the first one, Bitcoin jumped from $58,000 to $64,600, and even that MAGA memecoin got in on the action with a 52% surge.
Is Bitcoin going up just on the basis of this assassination news? Read the full story!
‘Stablecoins as the Internet's New Currency’
Circle's painting a pretty rosy picture for stablecoins.
Dante Disparte, their strategy lead, recently stated that stablecoins are the next big thing in money.
Is there any truth in his statement? Well, they sure are moving their HQ to New York and going public.
Now, they're not wearing rose-colored glasses. Disparte is waving a big red flag about the regulatory issues in the U.S. He's worried that without clear rules, we might end up with dollar-like products that aren't playing by U.S. rules.
Europe's already ahead of the game with their MiCA regulations, and Circle's giving them a thumbs up.
So why such a wild prediction? Read the full story!
