Bitcoin holders are withdrawing money from the market, but their behaviour is not matching the pattern seen at previous market peaks.
That is the main focus of the 25 September 2026 edition of CoinDesk’s Daybook newsletter, published for its Crypto Daybook Americas audience. Bitcoin was listed at $83 984,780.42%, although the source provides no further explanation of the figure.
The report’s headline points to a change in how investors are cashing out compared with earlier highs. It does not provide additional detail on the scale of the selling, the identities of the investors involved or the level at which profits are being taken.
The newsletter also carried a range of other cryptocurrency and financial-market stories. Among them was a report that the Blockchain Association had experienced a leadership shift shortly after the crypto Clarity Act fizzled.
Circle and Tether were reported to have helped freeze a hacker’s wallet following the Bitget crypto heist, while another article said tokenisation was advancing faster than Washington.
Other items listed in the edition included a report on Tether’s confirmation of minimal EQIBank exposure after an $89M US asset seizure, and Strategy’s proposal for daily dividends intended to bring STRC back towards $100.
The wider market coverage said bond volatility had increased while bitcoin and Wall Street remained calm. It also reported that altcoins had rallied as bitcoin consolidated near $84,000.
Bitcoin exchange-traded fund flows were said to have turned positive for 2026 after a $5.8 billion deficit had been erased. A further story reported that KelpDAO had sued LayerZero over what was described as the largest exploit of 2026 so far.
The edition also included live coverage of bitcoin moving to $84,000, oil falling amid the latest reports of progress in the Middle East, and a feature on the stablecoin landscape in Asia Pacific. That report examined regulation and use cases as stablecoins move into regulated finance, including RLUSD’s role in the region.
