Crypto market today — BTC $77,150 (+0.61%) · 173 up vs 89 down · 12 Sep

The past 24 hours (measured by AntProfit · as of 08:30 on 12 Sep KST)

These numbers are not borrowed from other outlets — we read them directly from 21 exchanges.

A funding rate at the 0.01% baseline means longs are not crowding the futures market. With far more gainers than losers, the market moved together today.

Biggest gainers and losers (24h)

We count only coins with at least $10M turnover listed on three or more exchanges (this keeps single-venue pumps and scam tokens out). Prices come from the largest venue by turnover; turnover from the largest spot venue.

Biggest losers

Where the money went (turnover far above a week ago)

• REZ $0.00325 (+4.23%) — spot turnover $5.4M, 8.7x a week ago
• KAT $0.004766 (-1.33%) — spot turnover $3.2M, 7.8x a week ago
• MET $0.2402 (+12.66%) — spot turnover $15.9M, 6.9x a week ago

If turnover jumps while the price does not, someone large may be accumulating or exiting — check the order book on the coin page.

Funding-rate skew (which way futures lean)

The funding rate is a fee that passes periodically between longs and shorts in perpetual futures. Positive means longs pay shorts; the further it drifts from the 0.01% baseline, the more crowded one side is.

• BTC 0.0036% per 8h (about 0.01% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• ETH 0.001% per 8h (about 0.00% a day) — At the baseline = longs are not crowded
• STORJ a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 9.14% a day (Gate.io)
• VTHO a lot of money is betting it falls — holding leverage costs about 4.21% a day (Gate.io)

A holding cost this wide is not an income opportunity — it is a signal that one side is badly crowded. On such coins, price swings dwarf the fee.

Yesterday's main stories

1. US Inflation Data Sparks Rate Hike Concerns and Market Sell-Off

On September 11, 2026, reports from KuCoin and CoinStats highlighted that the US Department of Labor released the August Producer Price Index (PPI), which rose 5.4% year-on-year and exceeded market expectations. This, alongside the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, heightened market tension and led to a sharp increase in expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) at the upcoming FOMC meeting.

The macroeconomic tightening concerns and surging Treasury yields shifted the cryptocurrency market into a risk-off (avoiding risky assets) stance, causing Bitcoin (BTC) to drop near $76,700 and Ethereum (ETH) to adjust down to the $2,440 level.

2. US SEC Proposes New 'Regulation Crypto Assets' Disclosure Rules

On September 11, 2026, Legis1 reported that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed 'Regulation Crypto Assets,' a tailored framework designed to modernize the issuance and disclosure system for crypto assets. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins described it as a historic step to modernize federal securities regulations, which includes an exemption allowing startups to raise up to $5 million without registration.

The market reacted cautiously as the SEC retains the authority to retroactively verify whether an issuer's active management efforts have ceased, which ultimately triggered volatility and selling pressure across altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin).

3. Crypto Billionaire Ben Delo Makes Record Donation to Reform UK

On September 11, 2026, The Guardian reported that BitMEX co-founder and crypto billionaire Ben Delo donated £36 million (approximately $47 million) to the right-wing political party Reform UK. Delo, who was previously convicted in the US for inadequate anti-money laundering (AML) controls and later pardoned by former President Donald Trump, made the largest single donation in British political history.

While this event drew significant attention to the growing political influence of crypto figures, it did not have a direct impact on cryptocurrency market prices.

What to watch today and this week

1. 12 Sep (Sat) KST — Large-scale token unlock of Aptos (APT). Approximately 14.36 million APT (about 0.7% of the total supply, valued at around $9 million) will be unlocked and distributed to the community, core contributors, investors, and the foundation.
2. 14 Sep (Mon) 15:00 KST — Delisting of JASMY, STORJ, and TT from Upbit and Bithumb. These major South Korean exchanges are ending transaction support for JasmyCoin (JASMY), Storj (STORJ), and Thundercore (TT) due to unresolved issues regarding their investment warning designations.
3. 16 Sep (Wed) 03:15 KST — US Senate procedural vote on the CLARITY Act. This cloture (debate-ending) vote requires 60 or more votes to bring the bill to the Senate floor, which aims to clarify whether the SEC or the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) has regulatory jurisdiction over the US crypto market.
4. 17 Sep (Thu) 03:00 KST — US FOMC interest rate decision and statement release. The Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision, and global markets are closely watching to see if the central bank will implement a 25 basis point rate hike following recent unstable inflation indicators.

Volatility often picks up around these dates. Simply knowing when they land helps you avoid being caught off guard.
