What to know:
- Bitcoin slid under $110,000 after a midweek bounce stalled. BTC vehicles MetaPlanet, Nakamoto and ether-focused Bitmine and SharpLink also slumped.
- Bitfinex analysts see a potential floor forming in $93,000–$95,000 range for this correction.
- September weakness could set stage for renewed rally in the last quarter of the year, an LMAX Group strategist said.
Bitcoin's feeble bounce this week ran out of gas on Thursday, with prices slipping back below $110,000 and some market watchers warning of a deeper pullback.
The largest cryptocurrency fell 2.2% over 24 hours to $109,500, erasing half the gains it made from the weekend's low of $107,000 as it topped $112,600 on Wednesday. Ether , Solana's SOL and Cardano's ADA all fell more than 3% over the past 24 hours.

Digital asset treasury stocks also bled. The largest corporate BTC owner Strategy (MSTR) dropped 3.2% and is 30% down since July. Japan-based MetaPlanet (3355) lost 7% and trades 60% lower than its June high, while KindlyMD (NAKA) slid another 9% and is now down 75% since mid-August. Ether-focused vehicles BitMine (BMNR) and SharpLink Gaming (SBET) dropped 8%-9%.
How low BTC could fall?
Worries about further downside are growing louder, with some observers pointing to September historically being one of bitcoin’s and and the broader crypto market's weakest months.
At the same time, gold, the old-school safe haven and inflation hedge, broke out to fresh records above $3,500 following a multimonth consolidation, seemingly sucking capital from riskier plays.
A new report from Bitfinex noted that BTC has entered its third straight week of retracement from the August all-time high of $123,640. Historically, bull-market corrections averaged around 17% peak-to-trough, suggesting the market is nearing the typical limit of its drawdowns, the report said.
However, there's a risk of a deeper pullback, the analysts warned. The short-term holder realized price, a gauge of newer investors’ cost basis of buying BTC, currently sits near $108,900, less than 1% below BTC's current price. If that level fails as support, it could open the way to a deeper retracement, with a dense supply cluster between $93,000 and $95,000 likely providing a durable floor, the report said.
Joel Kruger, market strategist of LMAX Group, remains more optimistic.
September has usually been a month of consolidation ahead of stronger fourth-quarter performance, he said, adding that this year’s correction might be shallower if ETF inflows, corporate treasury allocations and regulatory tailwinds materialize.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Robinhood CEO says tokenized stocks could prevent another GameStop freeze
Vlad Tenev blamed the trading halt on its app in 2021 on bad infrastructure, a problem that he says tokenization would solve.
What to know:
- Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says the 2021 GameStop trading halt was caused by slow, collateral-intensive settlement infrastructure, rather than bad actors.
- Tenev argues that even the shift from T+2 to T+1 settlement is insufficient in a 24/7 news-and-trading environment, especially for trades executed on Fridays.
- He is pushing to move stocks onto blockchains for real-time settlement, expand Robinhood’s tokenized stock offerings and 24/7 DeFi-style trading, and urge Congress to pass the CLARITY Act to force the SEC to issue rules on tokenized equities.
