Bitunix Token Pulse Weekly Report: Crypto Market Broadens Rally as Privacy Tokens Lead the Upside
The latest Bitunix Token Pulse Weekly Report (Sept 19–24, 2026) highlights a strong rebound in global risk assets, with BTC briefly surging past $87,000. The rally was fueled by easing geopolitical tensions, falling oil prices, and growing expectations of improved U.S.-China relations. The crypto market experienced a broad-based rally, with nearly 90% of the Top 300 tokens posting gains and a median return of 13.01%. The privacy sector led the charge, with ZAMA soaring 94%, while ZRO and NEAR gained 54% and 59%, respectively. The featured token, ZAMA, is a privacy computing infrastructure project utilizing fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). It completed its second major rally, supported by a 76% increase in its Total Value Shielded (TVS) to $82.74 million since July and the integration of USDT on September 15, which expanded its ecosystem's liquidity. However, investors should monitor the upcoming major token unlock scheduled for February 2027. In the U.S. equity market, semiconductor and crypto-related stocks led the rebound, with MSTR surging 22.72% as its parent company, Strategy, purchased an additional 950 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 846,000 BTC. Meanwhile, commodity markets remained relatively subdued, with precious metals trading in ranges and Brent crude dipping to around $97. Next week, markets will focus on the U.S. September unemployment rate due on October 2, a key macro data point that could shape expectations for the Fed's monetary policy.
US PMI Hits Five-Year High as Rate Hike Bets Rise | Bitunix Market Update

U.S. Yield Curve Flattens as TGA Liquidity and Fed Tools Reshape Treasury Markets | Bitunix Market Update
U.S. Treasury markets are facing a changing liquidity landscape as the Treasury General Account (TGA), Federal Reserve repo facilities and a flatter yield curve draw increased attention. With the 2-year/10-year spread narrowing, real yields rising and gold ETF holdings recovering, investors are reassessing how fiscal liquidity, interest rates and debt-related risks influence asset pricing. The interaction between Treasury funding needs, central-bank tools and long-term yields could create new transmission channels across global financial markets.

Bitunix Token Pulse Weekly Report: Ethereum Ecosystem Gains Momentum as NEAR Rallies 33%
The latest Bitunix Token Pulse Weekly Report (Sept 12–18, 2026) highlights the crypto market's remarkable resilience amid a volatile regulatory and macroeconomic landscape: Regulatory Crosscurrents: The U.S. Senate's CLARITY Act stalled with only 49 votes, falling short of the 60-vote threshold, while the Fed delivered a 25 bps rate hike to the 3.75%–4.00% range on September 16. However, major assets quickly shook off both negative catalysts, with the Bitunix Top 300 median return settling at +1.67% and over 65% of tokens posting weekly gains. SEC's Innovation Exemption as the Key Catalyst: On September 17, the SEC rolled out the "Innovation Exemption" for tokenized securities — a conditional framework offering up to 5 years of registration exemptions for eligible platforms trading tokenized NMS stocks via AMMs. This regulatory breakthrough ignited strong momentum across the DeFi and RWA sectors. Ethereum Ecosystem Outperforms: Benefiting directly from the tokenization narrative, Ethereum ecosystem tokens led the rally. ARB, NEAR, and UNI each surged more than 30% over the week, while standalone Layer-1 chains (Aptos, Cosmos, etc.) underperformed amid liquidity rotation. NEAR — The Week's Star Performer (+33.22%): NEAR stood out with a well-defined "stair-step" uptrend structure. Its fundamentals received a powerful boost when a dormant wallet executed a $8.21 million ETH-to-ZEC cross-chain swap via NEAR Intents in early September, generating 16.75 ETH in protocol fees. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid whale address 0x30af built a 10x leveraged long position near $1.95 and now sits on over $7.9 million in unrealized profits. Investors should remain cautious, however, of historical supply concentration around the $16 level. Broader Markets: U.S. equities stayed range-bound with Intel (INTC) extending its rally by another 8%; silver gained 4.51% in 24 hours, while Brent crude pulled back to $98 on easing geopolitical tensions. Next week, markets will watch the final September University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for cues on monetary policy expectations.
Bitunix Blue-Chip Assets Biweekly Report: Fed Rate Hike and CLARITY Act Setback Put BTC’s $75,000 Support to the Test
The latest Bitunix Bi-Weekly Report on Blue-Chip Crypto Assets (Sept 4–17, 2026) analyzes the market's resilience and shifting dynamics amidst dual macro headwinds: the failure of the U.S. CLARITY Act in the Senate and the Federal Reserve's 25 bps interest rate hike (to the 3.75%-4.00% range). BTC's $75K Defense Line: BTC faced a sharp pullback to the $75,000-$76,000 range following regulatory and macro disappointments. Spot BTC ETFs experienced significant net outflows, and Strategy paused its accumulation while some whales took profits. However, on-chain holders still maintain a ~20% profit buffer above average costs, providing solid underlying support. ETH Whale Accumulation: ETH demonstrated relative resilience, oscillating strongly between $2,300 and $2,500. Despite spot ETF outflows, corporate treasury Bitmine aggressively added 55,200 ETH during this period, pushing its holdings close to the 5% total supply milestone. Meanwhile, derivatives whales maintain a highly bullish stance. BNB's Independent Trajectory: BNB exhibited lower volatility and moved largely independently of institutional ETF flows. Its highly concentrated token distribution among Binance-related addresses shields it from traditional corporate treasury trends, keeping its price driven by the Binance ecosystem's internal dynamics.
