The crypto market experienced fluctuating trends, with Bitcoin starting the quarter strong after reaching a high of $68,000 in late July. However, by early September, the price had fallen significantly.

Despite this, there was considerable activity in the broader blockchain sector, particularly in ecosystems such as TON, Solana and Tron, which saw increased user engagement.
