- So far, Ethereum has won around 45% in 2025, surpassing the roughly 25% rise in Bitcoin.
The stock market is gathering strongly
- The Dow Jones industrial average exceeded 800 points (1.9%), marking the end of the first record of the year, shattering long stretches without a new high.
- The Russell 2000 tracked small caps and jumped an astonishing 3.9%.
This synchronized rally (where crypto and equity are charged together) was driven primarily by a new optimism in September that the Federal Reserve could quickly cut interest rates.
