Assessment summary

  • The statement is a price prediction, not a verifiable fact, so it cannot be confirmed as true or false from current sources.
  • The provided forecasts show wide disagreement on September 2026 Bitcoin levels and no reliable source here supports both Bitcoin at $100K and Ethereum at $3,500 as a likely outcome.
  • The claim that both will make new all-time highs before year-end is also speculative and unsupported by the evidence provided.

Claims reviewed

In September, Ethereum will reach $3,500.

Can’t verify
No provided source gives a direct September 2026 Ethereum forecast of $3,500. This claim is a future market prediction and is not verifiable from the available evidence.

Both Bitcoin and Ethereum will make new all-time highs before the year is over.

Can’t verify
The sources do not establish that either asset will set a new all-time high by year-end. This is speculative and depends on future market moves that cannot be confirmed now.

Can’t verify
Forecasts in the sources range widely, with September 2026 Bitcoin targets below $100K in several cases and some models allowing higher levels. This is a prediction about a future price, so it cannot be verified now.

Assessment summary

  • The claims contain significant factual errors.
  • Bitcoin is forecast to reach ~$80K in September, not $100K.
  • Ethereum is expected to reach ~$2,500-$2,800 in September, not $3,500.
  • Neither asset is likely to make new ATHs by year-end based on current forecasts and existing ATHs from 2025.
