Monthly Market Update (August)
The crypto market briefly touched $4.19T capitalization in mid-August as Bitcoin crossed $124K and Ethereum nearly hit $5K. Despite retracement from profit-taking, markets remained resilient, supported by dovish Fed signals and pro-crypto policy appointments
Ethereum outshines Bitcoin in August with ETH/BTC ratio at its highest level since August 2024, led by institutional adoption. Solana passed its Alpenglow consensus upgrade, promising faster finality (12s → 150ms) and lower validator costs.
