Monica Markets | Friday, September 25, 2026: Solana Leads as the Week Winds Down
The week is closing with Bitcoin holding above $84,000, Ethereum near $2,700 and Solana leading Monica’s major assets. Here is your Friday crypto and naira snapshot.
The Week Is Almost Done. Here Is Where the Market Stands.
Friday has arrived, and the crypto market is ending the week with a little bit of everything.
Bitcoin is holding above $84,000. Ethereum remains close to $2,700. Solana is leading the major assets on Monica’s list with a 2.70% move, while BNB and TRON are taking a quieter position.
Meanwhile, USDT and USDC are doing exactly what users expect from stablecoins: staying around $1.
Here is the Friday snapshot from the Monica app.
The Monica Coins
Bitcoin | BTC
$84,399 | +0.83%
Bitcoin is closing the week firmly above the $84,000 mark on Monica.
That is worth watching because Bitcoin has spent much of September navigating a market that has been pulled in different directions by interest-rate expectations, regulation and changing risk appetite.
Today, the world’s largest cryptocurrency is moving higher, even as traders keep an eye on a major options expiry.
Ethereum | ETH
$2,689.72 | +0.81%
Ethereum is ending the week just below $2,700, with a 0.81% gain on the current Monica snapshot.
ETH has had an interesting week. It has recently pushed higher after a period of consolidation, with Reuters reporting earlier this week that ether had broken above a key technical resistance level.
For Friday, however, the simple picture is this: Ethereum is still sitting close to $2,700.
Solana | SOL
$117.27 | +2.70%
And there is your Friday standout.
Solana is up 2.70%, making it the strongest mover among the major assets shown on Monica’s current screen.
SOL has also been in focus beyond its price. Today brings a significant options expiry for the asset, with a large portion of Solana options open interest expiring.
So there is plenty for Solana watchers to pay attention to as the week closes.
BNB
$775.60 | +0.81%
BNB is also ending the week in positive territory.
At $775.60, it is up 0.81% on the Monica snapshot, keeping pace with Bitcoin and Ethereum rather than making the kind of move seen in Solana.
TRON | TRX
$0.3384 | -0.80%
TRON is the exception among the major assets on today’s list.
TRX is down 0.80% and is sitting just below $0.34.
Nothing dramatic. Just a reminder that even when the broader market is having a green session, every asset does not necessarily move in the same direction.
Tether | USDT
$1.00
Steady.
USDT remains at $1, as expected from a dollar-pegged stablecoin.
USD Coin | USDC
$1.00
USDC is also holding at $1.
While Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana respond to market sentiment and trading activity, stablecoins have a different job. Their appeal comes largely from maintaining a value designed to track the US dollar.
Base
$2,689.72 | +0.81%
Base appears on the latest Monica asset screen alongside Ethereum, USDT and USDC.
Its displayed price tracks the underlying asset shown by Monica, while the network itself provides the infrastructure on which supported assets can move.
So, Who Won the Friday Session?
If we are judging purely by today’s movement on the Monica screen, Solana is having the standout session at +2.70%.
Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB are also up 0.81% to 0.83%.
TRON is down 0.80%.
And the stablecoins are doing what stablecoins are supposed to do.
It is a relatively simple picture, but that is precisely what makes a market snapshot useful. You do not always need ten charts and twenty predictions to understand what is happening.
Sometimes, you just need to know where everything stands.
One More Thing Before the Weekend
There is another reason today’s market deserves attention.
A major quarterly options expiry is taking place today, with billions of dollars in Bitcoin and Ethereum options and a significant portion of Solana options due to expire.
Options expiry does not automatically mean prices will rise or fall. But it can create an unusually busy trading environment as positions expire and traders adjust their exposure.
So if the market gets noisy around the close, remember that not every movement needs a dramatic explanation.
Sometimes, the calendar matters too.
The Friday Takeaway
Bitcoin is above $84,000.
Ethereum is hovering around $2,700.
Solana is leading the major movers.
BNB is positive.
TRON is slightly down.
USDT and USDC remain at $1.
That is your Friday market in one glance.
The bigger story is that crypto rarely moves as one giant block. Different assets respond to different forces, and understanding that difference is part of understanding the market itself.
