Markets Slide as Bitcoin Hits $107K, ETH and Altcoins Retreat — September 1, 2025, 9:10 AM IST

Monday’s trading session opens to accelerating downside across major cryptocurrencies, with both prices and volumes reflecting increased volatility:

• Bitcoin (BTC) falls 1.7% to US$107,000, while volume climbs to US$365.59M (+30.36%). The funding rate is neutral (0%), suggesting balanced futures sentiment despite spot-led selling.
• Ethereum (ETH) loses 1.8% at US$4,400, turning over US$363.63M in volume (+32.99%). Funding rate remains low (0.02%), emphasizing spot pressure and muted leverage.
• Solana (SOL) slides 3.65% to US$198.06, volume at US$187.85M (+5.04%). Funding rate climbs to 0.51%, highlighting speculative long activity amid the market pullback.
• XRP drops 3.73% to US$2.743; turnover jumps to US$143.79M (+22.95%). Funding rate at 0.36% indicates persistent, but cautious, bullish interest in the decline.

Market Context

• All major assets are under pressure as the month opens, with volumes up across the board reflecting rotation, volatility, and risk-off flows.
• Funding rates remain low or moderate, with Solana and XRP showing the most speculative positioning but not at extremes.
