Bitcoin Calm at $111K, Trump’s Crypto Debut & $41M Hack – Blockchain Highlights (Sept 8–9, 2025)

Bitcoin held firm above the $110K–$111K range through September 8–9, extending a week of low-volatility consolidation coindesk.com. Analysts noted this calm in Bitcoin’s price comes as traders await U.S. inflation reports that could influence Federal Reserve policy coindesk.com. “Cryptocurrencies have been trading at a subdued level as the Fed is conflicted over cutting rates amid stubborn inflation,” observed Jeff Mei, COO of BTSE, adding that higher-than-expected inflation could hurt crypto prices, while a downside surprise might spark a rally coindesk.com coindesk.com. Indeed, macro signals are in focus: a weaker U.S. jobs report earlier in the month already bolstered hopes for a Fed rate cut at the upcoming Sept 17 meeting, a prospect that tends to boost risk assets like crypto.

Crypto Storm: Bitcoin Bounces, Regulators Shake Up Crypto, NFTs Roar Back (Sept 7–8, 2025)

Bitcoin Holds $110K Range: Bitcoin spent the first weekend of September trading in a tight band around $110,000–$113,000 coindesk.com coindesk.com. This stability comes after a volatile August in which BTC hit record highs above $124K before a correction. As of Sept 8, BTC is steady near $111K cryptorank.io. Analysts say macroeconomic tailwinds – notably growing expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts after weak jobs data – are propping up bitcoin’s price despite September’s reputation as a weak month. “Bitcoin remains stable around $110K–$113K, supported by expectations of Fed rate cuts and increasing institutional inflows,” CoinDesk noted coindesk.com coindesk.com. Indeed, futures markets shifted after the latest U.S. employment report showed only 22,000 jobs added in August, boosting bets that the Fed will ease policy finance.yahoo.com. With interest rate pressure potentially abating, BTC’s downside appears cushioned by long-term holders: the illiquid supply of bitcoin hit an all-time high 14.3 million BTC as “hodlers” lock away coins coindesk.com.
