SwapSpace Weekly Recap: Bitcoin rebounds above $112K, Ethereum steady near $4,300, and new token unlocks.

The crypto market last week saw cautious optimism as Bitcoin rebounded above $112K amid weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data, boosting hopes for a Fed rate cut. Ethereum and altcoins stayed steady, backed by ongoing token unlocks and strong sector innovations. Read SwapSpace's weekly recap to learn more.

Last week's highlights

• Bitcoin rebounds on soft U.S. jobs report

Following the release of weaker nonfarm payroll data on September 5, Bitcoin climbed back above $112,000, as traders anticipated possible Federal Reserve easing. This helped stabilize the market after a period of consolidation, renewing risk appetite across crypto assets.

• Ethereum remains steady near $4,300 amid ETF flows

Ethereum’s price held steady around $4,300, supported by continued inflows into Ethereum ETFs. Stability in ETH staking levels and positive sentiment from recent blockchain events like Ethereum NYC helped maintain confidence in the ecosystem.

• Largest monthly token unlock wave begins in September

September kicked off with a massive $4.5 billion worth of token unlocks starting September 1, led by major projects like Sui ($153-$184M unlocked) and World Liberty Financial (WLFI). This spike in circulating supply added short-term pressure on prices but highlighted growing ecosystem maturity.

• Key blockchain conferences continue to drive market discourse

Builders Week Istanbul (Sept 1–7) gathered developers and investors from across the globe to explore decentralization, infrastructure, and scaling solutions. This event continued themes from earlier September such as Layer 2 and DeFi growth, underscoring sustained innovation momentum.
