BitMart Market Weekly Report 9.08-9.14

This Week's Cryptocurrency Market Dynamics

Last week (9.08-9.14), the net inflow amount for BTC ETFs was $2.33 billion. BTC found a bottom around $110,000 and peaked at around $116,600, showing overall good market performance. Currently, BTC's market share is reported at 56.9%, marking a new low since 2025, while altcoins performed strongly during the same period. After the U.S. CPI data was released last Thursday, expectations for a rate cut in September became clearer, with the market even betting on the possibility of the Federal Reserve announcing a 50 basis point rate cut this week.
Last week, ETH ETFs saw a net inflow of $640 million, with over $400 million flowing into ETH ETFs on the trading day following the CPI data release, driving ETH to a weekly high of $4,769. ETH's market share is currently reported at 13.8%, up nearly 0.3% from last week; the ETH/BTC exchange rate is reported at 0.04, up over 5% from last week, indicating that ETH has outperformed BTC during this cycle. ETH is currently down 7% from its historical high set in August, with the market waiting for the Federal Reserve's FOMC to announce the interest rate decision and economic outlook summary at 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18, when market fluctuations may be significant.

U.S. Market Overview and Hot News

Last week, U.S. stocks experienced overall fluctuations: the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell slightly by about 0.3%, the S&P 500 rose by 0.3%, and the Nasdaq performed the strongest, increasing by about 1.1%.
This week's market drivers are mainly weak non-farm payroll and related employment data, which further raised market expectations for the Federal Reserve to initiate a rate cut at next week's meeting, thus boosting risk appetite for risk assets. In terms of sectors, technology stocks, especially growth stocks represented by AI-related and semiconductor sectors, led the gains, becoming the main force driving the Nasdaq higher; while the energy sector faced pressure due to supply and demand and inventory data, showing relatively weak performance.
The Federal Reserve will hold a meeting on September 16 and 17, expected to implement its first rate cut since December last year;
At 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18, the Federal Reserve's FOMC will announce the interest rate decision and economic outlook summary; at 2:30 AM, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will hold a monetary policy press conference;

Popular Sectors and Project Unlocks

AI Sector
The AI sector performed strongly last week, with a cumulative increase of about +10.0% for the week, with RNDR performing outstandingly, rising about +10%, and FET recording a weekly increase of about +9%. The momentum comes from increased trading volume, product and ecosystem news related to generative/inference AI projects, and continued funding attention to the AI theme, all of which supported the short-term strength of the sector.
If the sector continues to gain project implementations, sustained trading volume, and inflows from institutional/retail funds, it still has short-term elasticity; however, caution is needed regarding the risks of unlocking, large sell-offs, or macro key data reversals leading to corrections.
Arbitrum (ARB) will unlock approximately 92.65 million tokens at 9:00 PM Beijing time on September 16, accounting for 2.03% of the current circulation, valued at about $49.2 million;
The decentralized trading platform Aster announced that it will conduct the ASTER token generation event on September 17, during which it will airdrop 7.04 million ASTER tokens to eligible users participating in the reward program;
LayerZero (ZRO) will unlock approximately 25.71 million tokens at 7:00 PM Beijing time on September 20, accounting for 8.53% of the current circulation, valued at about $52.5 million;
Optimism (OP) will unlock approximately 116 million tokens at 8:00 AM Beijing time on September 21, accounting for 6.89% of the current circulation, valued at about $93.4 million.
