Cryptocurrency Plunges Despite Dalio's Support as SEC Announces Ambitious 'Project Crypto'
====================================================================
As of late August 2025, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a surge in momentum for major assets, with notable developments and price actions shaping the landscape. Here's a roundup of the current status of some key players.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin has reached new all-time highs, rebounding to around $124,000 as of mid-August, after a brief dip to $112,000. Currently, 92% of holdings are in profit, and Bitcoin's dominance has slightly decreased to around 59.7% due to Ethereum gaining market share. The CME Bitcoin futures are experiencing high funding rates (9%), indicating renewed speculative interest and bullish sentiment. Market analysts predict a year-end target of around $180,000 for Bitcoin [3].
Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum is performing robustly, trading near $4,280, having more than doubled in price since April 2025. Analysts are optimistic about a potential rise to $7,000 due to strong institutional demand, highlighted by $2 billion inflows in Spot ETH ETFs and sizable holdings by large companies. Network improvements have made Ethereum faster and cheaper, sustaining its dominance in decentralized finance (DeFi), with over $200 billion locked in its ecosystem [2][3].
Ripple (XRP)
Ripple's price recently climbed above $3, but traders are cautious about a potential pullback to around $2.39. The ongoing Ripple vs. SEC legal case is a critical event, with a joint status update due August 15 that could lead to a $50 million settlement and regulatory clarity. Resolution here could improve XRP’s outlook and have broad regulatory implications [1][4].
Litecoin (LTC)
Currently, specific data on Litecoin’s price or market status in August 2025 is not available, suggesting Litecoin is not among the most prominently moving major coins at this time.
Cardano (ADA)
Cardano is showing positive momentum, up over 17% in August, reclaiming a top 10 crypto market cap position. Although not as headline-grabbing as Ethereum, Cardano is attracting attention due to an early-stage presale project promising high gains reminiscent of ADA’s own rise, fueling bullish sentiment among traders [2].
Monero (XMR)
Monero is exhibiting bullish technical signals, trading near $275 and showing signs of a potential breakout towards $290. Despite concerns over network hashrate control, indicators like RSI and MACD suggest momentum may continue upward, supported by growing wallet accumulation [4].
Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
There is no specific recent market information on Bitcoin Cash available, indicating a relatively stable or subdued market presence compared to the other major cryptocurrencies at this time.
