Stablecoin flows showed mixed signals with a net outflow of $78M on September 11. USDT led inflows at $171M, while USDC saw heavy outflows of $3.06M, bringing the total stablecoin supply to $246.47B.

ETF activity remained a key driver. On September 10, excluding BlackRock data, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $231M in inflows and Ethereum ETFs added $43M.

Analysts are closely watching Solana, as Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan suggested inflows and treasury allocations could trigger a sharp rally into year-end. Multiple Solana spot ETF applications await SEC decisions by October 10, setting the stage for potential momentum in Q4.

The 10-year Treasury yield eased 1.00% to 4.05%, while the dollar index ticked higher to 97.85. Gold advanced 0.48% to $3,643.41.

 

Political tensions resurfaced over the Fed’s independence. President Donald Trump criticized Chair Jerome Powell and pushed for aggressive rate cuts, while a federal court temporarily blocked Trump’s attempt to remove Fed Governor Cook.

Regulatory developments

SEC Chair Paul Atkins clarified at the OECD that most tokens are not securities, offering entrepreneurs a path to raise funds directly on-chain. He emphasized the need for unified platforms that can provide trading, lending, and staking under a single framework, while underscoring his goal of ensuring crypto innovation remains centered in the U.S.

 

Separately, Senate Democrats unveiled a comprehensive crypto market structure framework, aligning closely with Republican proposals.

 

The plan focuses on token jurisdiction, platform oversight, combating illicit activity, and providing agencies with additional enforcement resources.
