Bitcoin has closed out its strongest September on record, defying its usual trend of weakness during the month. Historically, when September ends in the green, the final quarter has delivered powerful rallies — a pattern seen in 2015, 2016, 2023, and 2024. With this backdrop, traders are now asking whether they’re positioned for what could be another mega bullish Q4.

Fresh data from Glassnode shows that the volume of illiquid Bitcoin supply coins that rarely move or are sold has surged to record highs, now exceeding 14 million BTC. The steady climb in illiquid supply signals stronger long-term holding behavior, reducing available liquidity on the market and potentially creating upward pressure on Bitcoin’s price in the future.

Bitcoin is flashing signs of weakness after breaking downward in early trading, though no clear confirmation has emerged yet. Traders are watching closely as sentiment turns cautious, with expectations that the U.S. market open could mirror Japan’s earlier corrective session. Many anticipate a potentially corrective day ahead, putting pressure on Bitcoin’s short-term outlook.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has seized roughly CAD 56 million worth of cryptocurrencies from the offshore exchange TradeOgre in what is being called a record anti-money laundering operation. The probe, launched in June 2024 following intelligence shared by Europol, uncovered that TradeOgre was operating without registration under Canada’s financial watchdog FINTRAC. The platform also failed to conduct user identity checks, enabling anonymous accounts that investigators say were used to launder illicit funds. Authorities confirmed the investigation remains ongoing.

Immutable X ($IMX) has quietly recorded a strong rally, with its market cap jumping more than 70% in the past two weeks. On-chain data signals renewed momentum, as 309 new IMX wallets were created in a single day, the highest level since March. At the same time, only 7.33% of the total supply now sits on exchanges, the lowest since May, indicating reduced selling pressure and rising accumulation. These metrics point to growing adoption and strengthening market sentiment around IMX.

In the past 24 hours, Polygon attracted $21 million in net flows, ranking third overall. It trailed BNB Chain with $47 million and Hyperliquid at $242 million. Despite new narratives shaping the market, Polygon continues to capture strong inflows. While prediction markets contribute, its growing role as a payments layer is proving to be a key driver, keeping Polygon in focus among leading blockchain networks.

Dennis Porter has teased something “massive” for Bitcoin coming next week. He claims there’s an opportunity to change the course of Bitcoin’s history in the USA — and it’s that big. Porter says this could be a pivotal moment for Bitcoin policy, adoption, or regulation stateside. What’s unclear is exactly what this “massive” event entails — proposed laws, regulatory shifts, or large institutional movement. All eyes will be watching closely.

XRP is expected to decouple from Bitcoin once institutional adoption and settlement demand begin driving its value independently. The shift will be gradual, fueled by growing usage of XRP in cross-border payments and banking networks. As settlement demand increases, XRP’s price will be anchored more to real-world utility rather than broader crypto market sentiment, signaling a fundamental divergence from Bitcoin’s dominance in the digital asset space.
