    Tom Lee Says Ethereum price Rally Is Getting Started

    Ethereum’s latest rally could be the start of a much larger move, according to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee. ETH gained about 30% in a week, and Lee noted that similar weekly gains in May 2025 and July 2021 were followed by strong rallies. He believes easier financial conditions could further support crypto prices. Lee also highlighted growing Wall Street interest in tokenization and the rise of agentic AI as potential catalysts for Ethereum. He said ETH’s recent gains were overdue as crypto fundamentals improve. Meanwhile, Bitmine’s Ethereum holdings have grown to nearly 5.85 million ETH, showing its continued confidence in the asset.

    Why Bitcoin is Going Up

    Bitcoin is rising sharply today as several bullish factors strengthen market sentiment. Bitcoin climbed from around $64,000 to nearly $80,000 in one week, gaining about 22%. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $2 billion in weekly inflows, signaling strong institutional demand. The rally also pushed Bitcoin above key levels, including its 200-day moving average and the $77,000 market mean. At the same time, growing speculation around U.S. Treasury bond buybacks and potential dollar weakness is supporting demand for alternative assets. Together, stronger ETF flows, improving technical momentum and shifting Treasury policy expectations are helping drive Bitcoin’s latest surge.

    Will Bitcoin Continue To Go Up

    Bitcoin rose 2.68% to $77,271.75 in 24 hours as improved U.S. liquidity and supportive crypto regulation boosted market sentiment. The move was amplified by a short squeeze, with more than $1.2 billion in Bitcoin short positions liquidated as traders were forced to cover losses. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs added another $606.29 million on August 20, extending the inflow streak and providing additional buying pressure. Bitcoin now faces key support at $75,000, while holding that level could keep the recovery on track toward $79,463.

    Why is Crypto Going Up

    The crypto market rose 3.21% to $2.62 trillion in 24 hours, led by Bitcoin and stronger investor confidence around crypto regulation. The rally was supported by $606.29 million in U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF inflows on August 20, while traders also rotated into higher-risk altcoins. Bitcoin’s move helped lift the broader market, with some correlation to gold as macro factors remained supportive. The market is now watching $2.53 trillion as key support. Holding above that level could keep the rally intact, while a break below it may trigger a pullback.

    Crypto Flash Crash Wipes Out $500M in Long Positions

    The crypto market saw a sharp sell-off, with Bitcoin falling 2.5%, Ethereum 5%, Solana 11.5% and XRP 37%. Around $500 million in long positions were liquidated within an hour, pushing total 24-hour liquidations toward $1.82 billion. Most of the liquidations involved leveraged long positions on major exchanges, including Binance. The drop highlights how high leverage and thin market liquidity can amplify sudden price moves. Traders remain divided over the cause, with some pointing to market manipulation while others see it as a broader deleveraging event.

    Bitcoin Price Rallies 20% as Futures Demand Returns

    Bitcoin gained more than 20% in three days as demand returned across both spot and futures markets. BTC open interest increased by $2.5 billion, including $1.5 billion on Binance, which now accounts for 37% of total market open interest. Binance also saw a sharp rise in futures activity, with its seven-hour moving average of net taker volume reaching its highest level since 2024. After Bitcoin broke above $65,000, more than $246 million in net buying pressure entered Binance within hours, marking the strongest surge in futures buying pressure on the platform in two years. The combination of renewed spot demand, stronger futures buying and short liquidations helped accelerate Bitcoin’s rally.

    Is XRP Going To Go Up

    XRP rose 17.92% to $1.31 in 24 hours, outperforming Bitcoin’s 8.85% gain as investors responded to improving regulatory sentiment. A White House crypto meeting on August 19-20, attended by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and U.S. regulators, helped strengthen expectations for clearer crypto rules. XRP also received $13.23 million in U.S. spot ETF inflows, while whales accumulated about 300 million XRP in 96 hours. XRP now faces resistance around $1.42, while holding $1.25 could keep the recovery intact. However, an RSI near 78 suggests the rally is becoming overextended.

    Bitcoin Price Today Breaks $76,000

    Bitcoin price today has surged above $76,000, extending a sharp four-day rally from around $62,700. The move has pushed BTC roughly 22% higher, while a wave of forced short closures has amplified the gains. Recent data shows crypto short liquidations reached record levels, with more than $3.8 billion wiped out over two days. The rally was not without catalysts, however. U.S. Treasury bond buybacks, stronger Bitcoin ETF demand and improving crypto regulatory sentiment helped trigger the initial breakout before short covering accelerated the move.

    Why are Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP Prices Up Today?

    Crypto is surging while stocks fall. Bitcoin jumped 10.3% to $72,090, Ethereum soared 17.8% to $2,291, and XRP climbed 20.4% to $1.25. Total crypto market cap rose 13%, adding $291 billion, even as the S&P 500 dropped 1.83%, erasing $1.4 trillion. This unusual split comes after the Treasury announced it would double long-term bond buybacks, briefly crashing yields before they partly rebounded. Falling yields make riskier assets like crypto more attractive, fueling the rally even as traditional markets struggled with the same news.

    Pi Network PayPal Integration Remains Unconfirmed as KYB Listing Is Missing

    PayPal has not yet been added to Pi Network’s KYB-verified business list, meaning reports of an official PayPal integration with Pi remain unconfirmed. Unofficial claims suggested that PayPal had added PI to its “Pay with Crypto” program alongside assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and Solana. However, PayPal is not currently listed as a verified business on Pi’s KYB platform. Exchanges including OKX and MEXC have completed KYB verification. For now, any PayPal-PI integration should be treated as a potential development, not an official partnership.

    Why is Bitcoin Rising?

    Bitcoin is rising because several positive factors are supporting prices at the same time. Lower U.S. Treasury yields and a weaker dollar are making Bitcoin more attractive to investors. Bitcoin ETFs are also seeing renewed buying, pointing to stronger institutional demand. Positive developments around U.S. crypto regulations, including progress on the CLARITY Act, are improving market confidence. Another major factor is the large number of short positions being closed as Bitcoin moves higher. More than $2.7 billion in short positions were liquidated, adding further buying pressure.

    Bitcoin Price Today Hit $72K

    Bitcoin gained about 7.1% in its strongest daily performance since February 2026, as more than $1.4 billion in short positions were liquidated across the crypto market. Short sellers betting on lower prices were forced to buy Bitcoin back as the price rose, adding more buying pressure and pushing the rally higher. Binance accounted for more than $311 million in Bitcoin short liquidations within hours. The sharp move highlights how quickly leveraged positions can amplify Bitcoin’s price swings and create sudden market-wide rallies.

    XRP Exchange Reserves Fall by 240M as Supply on Exchanges Declines

    XRP reserves on Binance, Upbit and Bithumb have fallen by about 240 million XRP since late May and early June, according to CryptoQuant data. Combined reserves now stand at roughly 10.84 billion XRP, down 2.2%. Binance saw the largest decline, with its reserves falling 3.7% to about 2.62 billion XRP. Upbit remains the largest holder with around 6.4 billion XRP, while Upbit and Bithumb together hold about 76% of the tracked reserves. Lower exchange balances can reduce immediately available supply, but they do not by themselves confirm buying or future price gains.

    Donald Trump Says CFTC Is Working to Bring Hyperliquid to the U.S.

    President Donald Trump said CFTC Chair Michael Selig is working to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. under a fully compliant legal framework. The comments were made at a White House crypto event on August 19. This matters because Hyperliquid is a major platform for perpetual futures, but it currently does not serve U.S. users. A regulated U.S. pathway could give the platform access to the American derivatives market. The CFTC will need to determine how Hyperliquid can meet U.S. rules. Selig is expected to provide more details at the CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee meeting.

    Why Did Bitcoin Jump Today?

    Bitcoin price is rising today as investors respond to a more crypto-friendly U.S. policy outlook and improving market sentiment. President Donald Trump’s push for Congress to pass the Clarity Act has boosted expectations for clearer crypto rules, while the SEC’s proposed framework for crypto fundraising added to optimism. Bitcoin also gained after the U.S. Treasury increased planned bond buybacks, helping push bond yields and the dollar lower. U.S. Bitcoin ETFs also saw about $189 million in net inflows on August 18. The move above $69,000 was further supported by short liquidations, adding more buying pressure to the market.

    PayPal has updated its Pay With Crypto developer platform to support around 100 cryptocurrencies, according to its August 11 documentation. However, the official PayPal documentation currently lists Bitcoin, Ethereum and PayPal USD among the supported assets and does not specifically confirm Pi Network (PI). PayPal’s service allows verified U.S. merchants to accept supported cryptocurrencies from global buyers, with PayPal automatically converting payments into local currency. However the news is still unconfirmed unless PayPal publishes a specific supported-asset listing showing PI.

    Asian Stocks Market Today is Down Slide

    Asian stocks fell sharply on Wednesday as rising bond yields, higher oil prices and renewed pressure on semiconductor shares hit investor sentiment. South Korea’s KOSPI dropped 5.7%, while Japan’s Nikkei fell 3.2%. Higher U.S. and Asian bond yields are raising borrowing costs and putting pressure on stock valuations. At the same time, oil prices have climbed as hopes for a U.S.-Iran deal fade, adding to inflation concerns. The sell-off has been particularly strong in AI and semiconductor stocks, following weakness on Wall Street

    Bitcoin Trading Volume Falls Below $1B as Market Activity Slows

    Bitcoin spot trading volume on Binance has fallen below $1 billion, marking one of the lowest levels since 2023. The decline highlights a sharp slowdown in market activity compared with March 2024, when daily volumes regularly exceeded $15 billion. Binance accounts for nearly 40% of total crypto trading volume, making the drop notable. Lower volumes suggest weaker investor participation and could also signal reduced volatility as Bitcoin enters a quieter market phase.

    SpaceX Stock Targeted at $75 by Phillip Securities

    Phillip Securities has given SpaceX (SPCX) a Sell rating with a $75 price target, citing concerns over the company’s valuation and the durability of its revenue growth.

However, another major share unlock is scheduled for August 20, when roughly 320 million shares become eligible for trading, potentially increasing selling pressure. Phillip Securities said strong revenue and Starlink growth may not be enough to justify SpaceX’s current valuation, particularly as the company continues to invest heavily in AI and infrastructure.

FOCIL is currently the only proposal confirmed for inclusion. EIP-8141, EIP-8250 and EIP-8272 are among the proposals being considered and could give privacy applications more tools at the protocol level. However, Ethereum does not yet have native privacy. Developers will decide which proposals move forward during upcoming core developer meetings, with Hegotá targeted for 2027.
