The blockchain analytics platform Santiment has released its list of the top trending cryptocurrencies for September 2025. In a surprising shift, Binance Coin (BNB) has overtaken Bitcoin to secure the number one spot, highlighting strong investor confidence in the token.
Top Trending Cryptocurrencies of September
Binance Coin (BNB)
On Thursday, BNB reached a new all-time high of $1,000, giving it a market cap of $139.3 billion. Analysts say the token could rise further if institutional inflows and adoption within the Binance ecosystem continue to grow.
BNB’s role in transaction fees, wallet integration, and Binance’s expanding services are also some catalysts. However, they warn that profit-taking and ongoing regulatory risks could pose challenges.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin remains a dominant force, trading at $116,959 with a market cap of $2.33 trillion. Its growing use in wallets, instant transfers, and trading platforms continues to fuel demand.
According to Santiment, Bitcoin’s popularity is also boosted by strong social media activity, which often drives rapid market reactions.
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Dogecoin is gaining traction following the launch of the first U.S. Dogecoin ETF ($DOJE). Analysts see this as a major step in transforming DOGE from a meme coin into a mainstream financial asset.
Currently trading at $0.2752, the coin has attracted fresh investor confidence, with forecasts pointing to further price growth.
XRP (XRP)
XRP is back in focus after the SEC approved its inclusion in Grayscale’s multi-crypto product and REX-Osprey announced plans for a U.S. spot XRP ETF.
The token is also benefiting from fresh regulatory clarity and optimism around Ripple’s ongoing SEC litigation. Many see this as a turning point for XRP’s long-term adoption.
Tether (USDT)
Tether continues to play a vital role in the U.S. Treasury market while maintaining confidence in its reserves. With increasing regulatory attention on stablecoins, USDT is drawing more institutional interest.
Solana (SOL)
Solana remains a top-trending token thanks to its broad utility in trading, gaming, and betting platforms. It is currently priced at $243.36 with a growing market cap. Solana Staking ETF saw inflows of $19.1 million, bringing cumulative inflows to $249.1 million.
