Key Takeaways
- Bitcoin stalled this week but continues to trade above its 200-day SMA. Ethereum received some late inspiration and has surged beyond $3,500 for the first time since the industry drawdown in May.
- Dating back to 2011, September is the only month in which $BTC has experienced a negative average return (this should not be a grave concern for investors).

- Ethereum price action reflects similar bullish supply dynamics ushered in by EIP-1559 and ETH 2.0 staking.

- Grayscale’s $ETHE has outperformed the coin as the discount to NAV recedes. Meanwhile, $GBTC still presents an opportunity for investors.
