Sygnum Bank’s fourth quarter outlook sees crypto markets under macro pressure, but Ethereum may be positioning for a major rally.

Summary
  • The crypto bull market is on thin ice, says the latest Sygnum report
  • Macro pressure crushed the altcoin rally that traders expected
  • While most are looking at Bitcoin, Ethereum may be preparing for a major move

While altcoins face near-term headwinds, there’s still time for a reversal. According to the Sygnum Bank’s latest market outlook for the end of 2025, macro conditions are putting pressure on altcoins. However, Ethereum is well-positioned to rise in Q4.

According to the report, just two weeks ago, traders were calling for the altcoin season. Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) were surging, while Bitcoin dominance falling 12%, all signs of an altcoin rotation. However, when Donald Trump reignited the tariff war, overleveraged altcoin positions began sinking.

This negative market momentum convinced long-term Bitcoin (BTC) holders that it was time to sell. Notably, Bitcoin had just reached its all-time high of $126,198 on October 6.

Altcoin rally could still come from treasury demand

Still, despite a missing “Uptober,” crypto markets are still in good shape when it comes to fundamentals. For one, Sygnum points out the growing treasury demand for altcoins, which may fuel their rise. What is more, liquidity is high, institutional adoption is rising, and regulation continues to improve.

While the government shutdown has delayed crypto-friendly legislation and ETF approvals, these are likely to move in a favorable direction. So far, there are more than 150 pending approvals for crypto ETFs, including those from BlackRock, Fidelity, and other major financial institutions. Once approvals start rolling in, sentiment is likely to turn positive again.

Ethereum is in a firm position, with corporate reserves now 15x higher at 24 billion. This contributes to 40% of Ethereum being locked out of circulation, which puts a major upward pressure on demand.

Bitcoin Has Taken Gold’s Role In Today’s World, Eric Trump Says

Eric Trump on Tuesday described Bitcoin as a “modern-day gold,” calling it a liquid store of value that can act as a hedge to real estate and other assets. Related Reading: XRP’s Biggest Rally Yet? Analyst Projects $20+ In October 2025 According to reports, the remark came during a TV appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, tied to the launch of American Bitcoin, the mining and treasury firm he helped start. Company Holdings And Strategy Based on public filings and company summaries, American Bitcoin has accumulated 2,443 BTC on its balance sheet. That stash has been valued in the low hundreds of millions of dollars at recent spot prices. The firm mixes large-scale mining with the goal of holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, which it says will help it grow both production and asset holdings over time. Eric Trump’s comments were direct. He told viewers that institutions are treating Bitcoin more like a store of value than a fringe idea, and he warned firms that resist blockchain adoption. The tone was strong at times, and the line about Bitcoin being a modern equivalent of gold was used to frame American Bitcoin’s role as both miner and holder.   Eric Trump has said: bitcoin is modern-day gold — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 16, 2025 How The Company Went Public American Bitcoin moved toward a public listing via an all-stock merger with Gryphon Digital Mining earlier this year, a deal that kept most of the original shareholders in control and positioned the new entity for a Nasdaq debut. Reports show that mining partner Hut 8 holds a large ownership stake, leaving the Trump family and other backers with a minority share. The listing brought fresh attention and capital to the firm as it began trading under the ticker ABTC. Market watchers say the firm’s public debut highlights two trends: mining companies are trying to grow by both producing and holding Bitcoin, and political ties are bringing more headlines to crypto firms. Some analysts point out that holding large amounts of Bitcoin on the balance sheet exposes a company to price swings, while supporters argue it aligns incentives between miners and investors.

Supporters praise the prospect of a US-based miner that aims to be transparent and aggressive about building a reserve. Critics point to governance questions, possible conflicts tied to high-profile backers, and the usual risks of a volatile asset being held on corporate balance sheets. Eric Trump’s remark that Bitcoin has taken gold’s role in today’s world reflects both his belief in its value and American Bitcoin’s strategy of mining and holding. Whether that view sticks will depend on how investors and institutions respond in the months ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
