Crypto Market Update: US$1.5B Bullish Crypto Bets Liquidated in Sharpest Drop Since March

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (September 22) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$112,653, a 2.7 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$112,293 after an earlier price peak of US$115,775.

Bitcoin dropped to US$112,000 range after falling below a key support level, triggering the year’s largest long-liquidation event — over US$1.7 billion in leveraged long positions were closed. The decline came even as some investor accumulation showed through surging exchange outflows and rising longs on platforms like Bitfinex, which added pressure from both sides.

Ether (ETH) was trading at US$4,181.86, down by 6.4 percent. Its lowest valuation as of Monday was US$4,145.53, while the cryptocurrency’s highest was US$4,497.46.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$221.91, a decrease of 7.5 percent over the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$220.28, while its highest valuation was US$240.05.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.82, down by 5.5 percent in the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2.78, while its highest was US$2.99.
  • SUI (Sui) was valued at US$3.32, trading at its lowest valuation of the day and down by 8.2 percent over the past 24 hours. Its highest price point on Monday was US$3.67.
  • Cardano (ADA) was priced at US$0.8246, down by 7.0 percent over 24 hours. Its lowest value of the day was US$0.813, while its highest value was US$0.8893.

Last week’s crypto recap

Last week saw crypto markets consolidate into a tight range.

BTC largely held just below its all-time high of US$118,000), trading around US$116,000 to US$117.000 most of the week. Meanwhile, ETH quietly rallied: large spot-ETH ETF inflows of nearly US$2.13 billion on September 19 alone pushed ETH briefly above US$4,500.

Meanwhile, the Fed’s expected 25 bps rate cut on September 17 produced only a muted “sell-the-news” reaction.

BTC briefly surged above US.$117,000 on the news. Moreover, investors poured more money into crypto funds: about US$1.9 billion flowed into exchange-traded crypto products last week, translating roughly US$977 million into BTC ETFs and US$772 million into ETH funds. This brought BTC ETF inflows hovering around US$3.9 billion over the past four weeks.

Recent policy developments last week also broadened crypto’s institutional access. The SEC approved the first spot ETFs for altcoins, as REX-Osprey XRP ETF (CBOE:XRPR) and REX-Osprey DOGE ETF (CBOE:DOJE). For stablecoins, Tether launched a new US-compliant dollar token (“USA₮”) under the GENIUS Act.

Fear and Greed Index snapshot

CMC Crypto Fear and Greed Index

Chart via CoinMarketCap

CMC’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained firmly in neutral territory over the past week. The tracker shows readings oscillating around 50: for instance, it registered 53 on September 17, then dipped to 48 by September 20 and 49 by September 21.

Currently, the index remains registered on neutral territory at 47. The past week’s negative funding rates on perpetual futures and long/short ratios suggest slight caution, but strong ETF inflows and recent whale buying show underlying bullish conviction from investors.

Things to look out for

Over the course of this week, traders will be keeping a very close eye on the Federal Reserve and the tone at the Fed, combined with how recent economic data compares to expectations.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will be speaking, after the policy-outlook statement. If the upcoming economic data disappoints, analysts say that there is a risk that BTC could retest support in the low US$112,000 range.

Meanwhile, a dovish pivot could rapidly reignite inflows into ETFs and “riskier” assets, lifting all boats including volatile altcoins.

Furthermore, the report on US existing home sales data is also due on Wednesday (September 23). The data gives insight into the state of the housing market, which is one of the key components of consumer spending and overall economic health.

Today’s crypto news to know

Bullish crypto bets unwind as US$1.5 billion liquidated

Crypto markets endured their steepest shakeout in months after more than US$1.5 billion in leveraged long positions were wiped out on Monday (September 22), according to Coinglass.

Ether bore the brunt of the rout, plunging as much as 9 percent to US$4,075, while Bitcoin briefly slipped 3 percent to US$111,998. The wave marked the largest round of liquidations since March 27, with more than 407,000 traders seeing positions erased in just 24 hours.

Analysts pointed to fading demand from digital-asset treasury firms, whose stock retreats signaled waning appetite for large-scale token hoarding. Funding rates for Ether futures have also now turned negative, a sign that short sellers are paying to maintain bearish bets.

Overall, crypto market capitalization dropped below US$4 trillion, while gold prices surged to fresh records near US$3,720 an ounce.

Metaplanet climbs to fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin holder

Tokyo-based Metaplanet has cemented itself as a heavyweight in corporate crypto holdings, announcing the purchase of 5,419 BTC worth US$633 million.

The acquisition boosts its total stash to 25,555 BTC valued at nearly US$3 billion, making it the fifth-largest corporate Bitcoin treasury, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net.

The buy came at an average of about US$117,000 per Bitcoin, leaving the firm temporarily down almost 4 percent as spot prices hovered closer to US$112,500.

Despite the purchase, Metaplanet’s stock has struggled to keep pace. The company’s shares have tumbled by more than 30 PERCENT over the past month even as shares rose modestly this week.

London prepares for US$7 billion Bitcoin fraud trial

The UK is bracing for one of its most significant crypto trials as Zhimin Qian, a Chinese national accused of orchestrating a US$7 billion Ponzi-style fraud, faces charges in London starting September 29.

Qian allegedly ran Tianjin Lantian Gerui Electronic Technology, a scheme that lured nearly 130,000 investors in China with promises of triple-digit returns between 2014 and 2017.

After China’s crypto ban, she fled to Britain and converted proceeds into Bitcoin, some of which were later seized in UK money laundering probes linked to her associate Jian Wen, already convicted in 2024.

Prosecutors have avoided direct fraud charges, instead focusing on offenses tied to the possession and transfer of illicit cryptocurrency.

Perpetua’s Stibnite Project Gets Green Light for Construction

Perpetua Resources (TSX:PPTA,NASDAQ:PPTA) has secured final federal clearance to move forward with construction of its Stibnite gold project in Idaho.

The US Forest Service issued a conditional Notice to Proceed this week, confirming that the company has met all requirements outlined in its January 2025 Record of Decision.

“After 8 years of extensive permitting review and over $400 million invested, it is finally time for the Stibnite Gold Project to deliver for America,” said Jon Cherry, Perpetua Resources president and CEO.

“With the US Forest Service’s Notice to Proceed and the joint financial assurance package approved, we are ready to begin to bring Stibnite back to life as a national strategic asset,” Cherry added.

The project can advance once Perpetua posts the joint financial assurance bonds agreed to with state and federal regulators.Once posted, regulators will sign off on Perpetua’s operating plan, clearing the way for construction to begin.

The Stibnite gold project carries both strategic and environmental ambitions. It is expected to supply more than 100 million pounds of antimony over its projected 15-year mine life, potentially meeting more than a third of US annual demand.

Antimony, used in munitions and advanced defense systems, is currently imported largely from China.

The project is also designed to produce about 450,000 ounces of gold annually. Proven and probable reserves at the site include 148 million pounds of antimony and more than 6 million ounces of gold.

Beyond mineral production, the project is pitched as an environmental restoration initiative for a heavily impacted historical mine site. Plans call for cleaning up legacy contamination, reconnecting salmon to native spawning grounds, improving water temperatures, and enhancing wetlands and stream habitats.

The final mine plan reduces the project footprint by 13 percent compared to earlier designs and front-loads restoration work to occur alongside mining activities.

Perpetua began formal permitting under the National Environmental Policy Act in 2016. The Forest Service, as lead agency, issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement in 2020, followed by a Supplemental Draft in 2022, and a Final Environmental Impact Statement in 2024.

The Final Record of Decision came in January 2025 after a process that drew more than 23,000 supportive public comments.

The Trump administration included the Stibnite project on its FAST-41 permitting transparency list earlier this year, placing it among infrastructure and resource projects deemed nationally significant and eligible for expedited review.

Perpetua’s shares reflected the regulatory breakthrough, climbing 2.2 percent in pre-market trading on Friday (September 19) following the Notice to Proceed.

The company expects bonding to be completed within weeks, paving the way for site work and a targeted commercial production in 2028.

Hamas letter to Trump asks for 60-day ceasefire deal to release half of hostages, sources say

Hamas has drafted a letter to President Donald Trump, asking the American commander in chief to guarantee a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the immediate release of half of the hostages being detained within Gaza, Fox News has learned from a senior Trump administration official and a second source directly involved in negotiations.

The letter is expected to be delivered to Trump this week.

Trump, who has been trying to help serve as a peacemaker on the global stage, has repeatedly called for Hamas to release all the hostages it took captive during the heinous Oct. 7, 2023 attack against Israel.

Last week while visiting England, Trump noted that he wants the hostages to be freed ‘now — right now.’

In a Truth Social post earlier this month, Trump issued what he described as his ‘last warning’ to Hamas.

Israel fires back after US allies recognize Palestinian statehood:

‘Everyone wants the Hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end! The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning, there will not be another one!’ the president asserted in the Sept. 7 post.

Earlier this year in a March 5 Truth Social post, the president also issued what he called a ‘last warning.’

Israeli military advances deeper into Gaza City

‘Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you,’ he warned. ‘I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say. I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning!’ the president asserted. ‘RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!’

Trump must make UN funding conditional on real reforms, ex-diplomat urges

As world leaders gather at the United Nations next week, former U.S. diplomat Hugh Dugan is urging Washington to demand accountability.

‘We need to see an organization that is effective and efficient, or we need to move on,’ Dugan, who advised 11 U.S. ambassadors to the UN and served as President Donald Trump’s envoy for hostage affairs in the first administration, told Fox News Digital.

The U.S. provides between 20 and 30 percent of the U.N.’s budget, and going forward, U.S. taxpayer dollars for the international body should be ‘conditional’ on progress, Dugan said.

‘We are the host country. We were an architect of the U.N. So, yes, I believe that the president is going to come with a conditional mindset,’ he added.

The biggest hope for change, according to Dugan, is next year’s secretary-general election.

‘Members have to develop the correct expectations and communicate those to the field of candidates over the next several months, so that we can understand where the organization could go in the future,’ he said.

The most immediate diplomatic value of this year’s assembly, Dugan noted, will be the conversations on the sidelines.

‘That’s the power of the U.N., where they enable people to talk with each other without expectations from the public.’

That said, he does not believe the gathering will resolve the world’s most pressing conflicts — from the war in Ukraine to Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

‘It has had plenty of opportunity. It hasn’t risen to the occasion,’ Dugan said.

The U.N. must begin offering a ‘report to shareholders’ — a yearly breakdown of where money went and what change it produced, according to Dugan.

Beyond reform, Dugan warned that the U.S. cannot afford to ignore China’s growing influence inside the United Nations system. He said Beijing has been steadily building up its diplomatic ‘bench’ and mastering the rules of multilateral diplomacy.

‘China is investing in its diplomatic talent from the ground up, and they are going to master the multilateral game relatively soon,’ he said. ‘We need to invest in our own skill set — a thicker bench that understands this place — and beat China on fair ground.’

Dugan cautioned that while the U.S. debates how much to spend, Beijing is positioning itself to shape the agenda in ways that could sideline human rights and tilt the institution toward authoritarian priorities.

As Trump prepares to address the General Assembly, Dugan said the stakes are clear: the U.S. must demand that the U.N. prove its worth or risk ceding influence to rivals.

‘The single most important message,’ Dugan argued, ‘is that the U.N. must perform if it wants continued American support. Otherwise, we’ll look elsewhere — and China will be all too ready to fill the void.’

Democrats skip Charlie Kirk Arizona memorial after 58 vote against House resolution

The Dems’ disdain for Charlie Kirk showed, even on the day of his memorial. 

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, slammed others in her party for not opposing the resolution honoring him, saying it ‘hurt [her] heart’ that only two White Democrats voted no.

She claimed Kirk’s rhetoric targeted people of color. In total, 58 House Dems voted against it. President Trump fired back: ‘It tells you that they’re deranged.’

Despite calls to deescalate, Dems still labeled Trump a fascist and skipped Kirk’s memorial in Arizona, and only six attended the earlier Capitol vigil.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who are among Kirk’s harshest critics, also didn’t hold back. Omar claimed Kirk’s legacy belongs ‘in the dustbin of history.’

Ocasio-Cortez previously called Kirk’s views ‘ignorant [and] uneducated.’ 

At the memorial, former Trump administration official Ben Carson appeared to fire back: ‘I’ve seen him run circles around people with college degrees.’

Aventis Energy Confirms Strong Radioactivity During Successful Exploration Program at the Corvo Uranium Project

Aventis Energy (‘ Aventis ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (CSE:AVE | FRA:C0O0 | OTC: VBAMF) is pleased to announce an update from its 2025 exploration program at the Corvo Uranium Project (‘ Corvo ‘, or the ‘ Project ‘), currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Standard Uranium Ltd. (‘ Standard ‘) (CSE: STND). From July 4 to July 16, 2025, the Company completed a detailed mapping and sampling program across historical uranium showings and zones of interest on the Project.

Highlights:

  • Off-Scale** Radioactivity at Surface : Verification of strong radioactivity at the historical Manhattan showing with handheld scintillometer measurements >65,535 counts per second (‘ cps ‘) at surface, in addition to 112 further occurrences of highly anomalous*** radioactivity up to 13,500 cps across the Project.
  • Discovery of New Radioactive Showings : Scintillometer prospecting uncovered previously undocumented radioactive occurrences across the Project in favorable rock types for uranium and Rare Earth Element (‘ REE ‘) mineralization.
  • Favorable Uranium Host Rocks : Geological mapping along structural and electromagnetic (‘ EM ‘) trends across the Project confirmed the presence of deformed and hydrothermally altered basement lithologies including metasedimentary, calc-silicate, and granitic rocks.
  • Ongoing Exploration : An extensive ground gravity survey is being planned for Q4 2025, designed to identify density anomalies potentially representing hydrothermal alteration systems coincident with newly refined EM conductor trends across the Project. A diamond drill program is being planned for Q1 2026 to begin testing targets developed and ranked through the detailed programs executed in 2025.

Michael Mulberry, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, ‘We are proud to announce preliminary results from our 2025 Exploration Program at the Corvo Project. With the identification of strong radioactivity at the Manhattan showing, and favourable results from geological mapping along key trends at the Project, we are well positioned to complete a near term ground gravity survey.’

2025 Prospecting Program – Preliminary Results

Beginning July 4 and concluding July 16, 2025, the technical team completed a detailed mapping, prospecting, and sampling program to ground-truth historical uranium showings at surface on the Project (the ‘ Program ‘):

  • A total of 30 outcrop and boulder grab samples have been submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK for whole-rock, uranium, and REE geochemical analysis. Results will be released and incorporated into the first NI 43-101 technical report on the Project.
  • More than 160 detailed geological observations, structural measurements, and scintillometer readings were taken from several outcrops across the Project within the T-Lake, Dorward, Unnamed, Finger, Snout, Hook, and Sheppard Lake areas.
  • Prospecting confirmed several uraniferous outcrops and boulders across the Project, including the Manhattan showing (1.19 to 5.98% U3O8) and SMDI showing 2052 (0.137% U3O8 and 2,300 ppm Th). 1 Off-scale radioactivity >65,535 cps was measured at the Manhattan showing (Please see Figures 2 and 3).
  • A total of 112 handheld scintillometer readings of anomalous radioactivity >300 cps were recorded, including six measurements >10,000 cps at surface (Please see Figure 4). Prospecting for radioactive boulders and outcrop was completed using handheld RS-120 Super-Scintillometers and RS-125 Super-Spectrometers manufactured by Radiation Solutions Inc.

Future Exploration Plans

Supplementary geophysical surveys across the Project are being designed to further refine drill targets for an inaugural drill program. The Company plans to complete a high-resolution ground gravity survey across the main conductive trends on the Project, aiming to identify potential hydrothermal alteration halos which could be related to basement-hosted uranium mineralization.

Earlie r this year, Standard Uranium contracte d Axiom Exploration Group Ltd. in partnership wi t h New Resolution Geophysics to carry out a helico p ter-borne Xcite time domain electr o magnetic and total field ma g netic survey over the Project 2 . The survey totalled approximately 1,380 line-kms w ith a traverse line spacing of 100 m and tie-line spacing of 1,000 m. The airborne TDEM survey outlines several kilometers of conductive anomalies and magnetic features in bedrock, effectively enhancing the resolution of more than 29 kilometres of conductive trends on the Project.

The magnetic survey component of the TDEM survey contributes to definition of potential fault systems and structural trends not previously identified across the Project related to historical uranium showings at surface and in historical drill holes.

Ongoing geophysical interpretation and modeling is being completed to integrate historical surveys with newly collected datasets, which will provide high-priority drill targets and significantly derisk the Project prior to modern drilling in 2026.

Locksley Continues to Strengthen its Position in Paving Pathway to 100% Made in America

Company Reports Exceptional Initial Metallurgical Results for Its US Mojave Project

Locksley Resources Ltd. (ASX: LKY,OTC:LKYRF; OTCQB: LKYRF) announced it has achieved significant results from initial metallurgical testwork completed by the company on samples collected from the Desert Antimony Mine (DAM) Prospect. These results validate that the Mojave Project can deliver feedstock required to underpin a domestic mine-to-market antimony supply chain. Recovery rates of the level indicated in the initial testing confirm Locksley’s pathway to 100% Made in America Antimony, which is directly aligned with U.S. government priorities for onshore critical mineral supply security.

For the six samples assessed, antimony grades ranged from a low of 27.5% to a high of 39.1%. Recovery rates ranged from 82.9% to 85.9% among the six samples. Additional details are available here: https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02996029-6A1284968&v=c2533a54e2514fb77a8f93f84db686e1125273e9

‘This is an excellent milestone to have achieved for the Mojave Project,’ said Julian Woodcock , Technical Director of Locksley Resources. ‘It demonstrates that conventional flotation technology is suitable to produce a stibnite concentrate from the Desert Antimony Mine Prospect. What is also remarkable is the success of the testwork on surface samples, which have been susceptible to oxidation. I am extremely encouraged by the results and optimistic that with further testwork we will be able to improve on this already high-quality first-pass outcome. This activity continues to rapidly advance our strategy to provide onshore supply of antimony to the U.S. market.’

Concentrate from these tests was sent to Rice University to commence with Deep Eutectic Solvent Extraction testwork using Rice University’s Deep Solv™ methodology, in conjunction with the recently announced partnership by Locksley and Rice .

Locksley Resources ( https://www.locksleyresources.com.au ) is an Australian-based explorer focused on critical minerals and base metals, with assets in both the U.S. and Australia . The company is actively advancing its U.S. asset, the Mojave Project, in California , targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. The company has also announced a strategic collaboration with Rice University to develop DeepSolv™, for domestic processing of North American antimony. The agreement is part of Locksley’s U.S. Critical Minerals and Energy Resilience Strategy to accelerate ‘mine-to-market’ deployment of antimony in the U.S.

Finlay Minerals completes Field Work on Newly Identified Geophysical Targets on the SAY and JJB Properties

finlay minerals ltd. (TSXV: FYL,OTC:FYMNF) (OTCQB: FYMNF) (‘Finlay’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that the results from airborne magnetic surveys conducted over the SAY and JJB properties (refer to Figure 1 ), have identified significant northwest- and northeast-trending structures. These structures resemble those found in the Toodoggone area of British Columbia which is recognized for its potential to host larger porphyry and epithermal deposits. A total of 1,900 kilometres (‘km’) of airborne magnetic survey data was collected over the two properties.

Figure 1. 2025 airborne magnetic surveys, structural trends and target areas on the SAY and JJB properties (CNW Group/Finlay Minerals Ltd.)

Follow-up groundwork at the SAY property focused on the IFT target, where a large circular magnetic anomaly, measuring 2.5 km by 2.5 km, was identified. This anomaly displays geophysical signatures similar to those observed in other copper porphyry deposits. Additionally, a second kilometre-scale target, known as Ozzy, was identified. Ozzy is located at the intersection of a northeast-trending magnetic anomaly and a northwest-trending magnetic anomaly. Further follow-up work is planned for both targets.

The SAY property was acquired in 2024, and an inaugural field program concentrated on chip sampling and mapping along the 4.3-kilometer-long SPUR Trend last summer. This effort led to the discovery of the 200 m x 200 m copper-silver mineralized AG Zone and confirmed the continuity of high-grade copper-silver mineralization at the Spur Target.  Chip sampling at the AG Zone included 9.5 metres of 0.94% Cu and 18.1 g/t Ag . (1)

The JJB property was staked in February, 2025 for its porphyry potential. Three main copper showings—Squingula, Quin, and Pat—have been identified. Squingula and Quin are located near an Eocene intrusion on the western side, and show a coincident magnetic high linked to a multi-element geochemical anomaly from limited sampling. This summer, fieldwork focused on the PAT target, one of three potential targets. This work aimed to evaluate the similarities between the high-grade copper-silver mineralization found at JJB and the SPUR/AG targets within the SAY Property.

SAY & JJB Project Highlights:

SAY 2025 Program :

JJB 2025 Program :

•       Over 1,200 line-km of airborne magnetics
