Crypto Bros know when things feel calm, but under the surface, something is brewing. That’s where the ETH and XRP prices against USD are right now. ETH ▲2.44% is hovering above $4,500, while XRP ▲1.14% is blasting three three-dollar mark, both managing to inch up against the greenback without much drama.
Meanwhile, BTC ▲1.05% stabilizes around $115,000, which gives room for altcoins, especially ETH and XRP, to show their resilience. Over the past few days, Ethereum has climbed steadily, and Ripple’s XRP is holding its ground, hammering every nail that comes its way.

ETH has been lifted mostly from ETF inflows, about $200 million plus this week, with September historically good for the crypto market, especially after weeks of ranging. XRP, on the other hand, saw its volume perk up, especially with that new ETF announcement in the background.

However, neither is blowing up dramatically yet, but both are acting like they want to. ETH is testing resistance near $4,550, and XRP seems ready to aim for $3.5 or more soon, as every crypto trader wishes.
On weekly charts, ETH USD is building a base above $4,500, and XRP bullish triangle has been broken. Macro stuff—lower rate expectations, money flowing in from institutions, and is lining up in favor of them. The rest of the market looks bullish, but these pairs look like they’re just about to wake up.

Here’s the thing: crypto never really sleeps, but we should. Step away, go outside, touch some grass. Recharge. Because when Monday comes, altcoins like ETH, SOL, and XRP might surprise with another rally against the USD. If this week was the setup, next week could be where things get interesting. Expect an uptrend.

Crypto platforms rarely hike fees due to the potential negative impact on their user base and revenue. However, OpenSea, a leading NFT marketplace, has made the bold decision to double its trading fees. Overall, fees play a critical role in determining the activity of decentralized applications (dApps) and overall platform revenue, particularly for open systems, including mainnets.
Despite a decline in market activity since the 2020-2022 crypto boom, driven mainly by DeFi and NFT mania, OpenSea remains a dominant force in the $6Bn NFT industry as of September 12, 2025, according to Coingecko.

Presently, CryptoPunks lead the market, holding +33.8% of the value of top NFT collections, followed by trending names like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Pudgy Penguins. Notably, Pudgy Penguins diversified by launching Pengu, a token that has surged to become a top Solana meme coin.
