Around $205 billion has exited crypto markets over the past 24 hours, sending total market capitalization plummeting back to $3.84 trillion.

It is the lowest level total cap has been since August 6, but it still remains within a six-week sideways channel despite the massive sell-off.

CoinGlass reported that around 205,000 traders were liquidated over the past day, with total liquidations coming in over $930 million as leveraged long Bitcoin positions got flushed. Other analysts were suggesting that exchanges were dumping crypto assets in order to liquidate the long positions.

Today’s painful, but not out of the ordinary, market slump has resulted in a 9% correction for overall crypto markets since their peak on August 14.

Bitcoin Dragging Markets Down

The big dump has been caused by Bitcoin, which crashed to a seven-week low of under $109,000 in early Asian trading on Tuesday morning on most exchanges.

This was caused by a Bitcoin whale selling an entire batch of 24,000 BTC worth over $2.7 billion, causing the asset to plummet $4,000 a few hours that followed.

According to Glassnode, Bitcoin has dropped below the average cost basis ($110,800) of one to three-month-old investors who accumulated during the May to July rally. “Historically, failure to hold above this level has often led to multi-month market weakness and potential deeper corrections,” it cautioned.

The total BTC correction now stands at 12%, which is still much shallower than the pullbacks in September 2017 and 2021, during the bull market years when the asset retreated by 36% and 24%, respectively.

A retreat between these two levels this September could see Bitcoin prices back at $87,000 before the bull market resumes.

Altcoins Bleed Out

As usual, the altcoins are suffering much more with major losses for Solana dumping over 11% to $186, Dogecoin dropping 10% in a fall to $0.21, Cardano sliding 9% to $0.83, and Chainlink tanking 11% to $23.30.

Other altcoins in pain include Hyperliquid, Sui, Avalanche, and Litecoin. Ethereum has lost 7% on the day, but it remains within its sideways channel and had already started to recover at the time of writing, trading above $4,400 again. However, ETH has lost over 11% since its all-time high just two days ago.

First U.S. XRP ETF Launches Sept. 18, CME to List Options on XRP Futures Oct. 13

First U.S. XRP ETF Launches Sept. 18, CME to List Options on XRP Futures Oct. 13

XRP is drawing fresh attention from traditional finance as new products roll out in both securities and derivatives markets, broadening access points for exposure to the token.At the time of writing, according to CoinDesk Data, XRP was trading around $3.0263, down nearly 1% over the past 24 hours.On Sept. 18, REX Shares and Osprey Funds will debut the first U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE) on the Cboe BZX Exchange, under the tickers XRPR and DOJE. These products are not entirely “pure” spot funds, however. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst James Seyffart wrote on X that the funds aren’t “pure” spot products. Instead, they are structured to hold XRP and DOGE directly, while also investing in other spot ETFs from outside the U.S. to achieve exposure. Their filings also include language that would allow the use of derivatives for exposure if needed, though Seyffart emphasized that this is not the primary approach.The structure reflects the realities of building regulated crypto ETFs in the U.S., where sponsors have sometimes layered in indirect exposure. Even so, the launches mark the first time American brokerage accounts will have access to XRP- and DOGE-focused ETFs, expanding beyond bitcoin and ether, which dominate the ETF landscape.Less than a month later, CME Group plans to deepen its crypto derivatives lineup by listing options on XRP and Solana (SOL) futures, targeted for Oct. 13 pending regulatory review. Options will be listed on both the standard contracts and their smaller “micro” versions, designed to serve institutions, trading desks, and active individuals alike. Expiry choices will include every business day, each month, and each quarter, creating a wider term structure for managing exposures.The exchange said the decision follows strong growth in its newer altcoin futures. Since March, SOL futures have logged over 540,000 contracts traded (about $22.3 billion notional), while XRP futures, introduced in May, have seen more than 370,000 contracts change hands (roughly $16.2 billion notional). Market participants including Cumberland and FalconX welcomed the additions, citing the need for hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether.Headquartered in Chicago, CME Group runs the world’s largest regulated derivatives marketplace, where listed crypto futures and options allow participants to hedge positions with central clearing and margining. Adding XRP and SOL options builds on the firm’s progression from bitcoin and ether into a wider set of liquid tokens.
