📰 Crypto Market Update – August 2025
Volatility returns, but institutional interest remains strong
The crypto market entered August with a sharp correction, as global markets reacted to new U.S. tariff announcements and investors took profits after a bullish July. Bitcoin dropped below $115,000, while Ethereum retreated to around $3,670, sparking widespread declines across top altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin.
Despite the dip, there’s no sign that long-term confidence is fading. In fact, institutional activity is rising. Major corporations and funds have invested over $86 billion in crypto treasuries this year alone, while the U.S. SEC has launched “Project Crypto”, a regulatory initiative aimed at creating clear guidelines for tokens, exchanges, and ICOs. The GENIUS Act, passed in July, is also reshaping the stablecoin space with strict reserve and audit rules.
Globally, Hong Kong fintech firms raised over $1.5 billion in July to expand crypto payment networks, while Pakistan announced a national bitcoin reserve and is allocating energy for crypto mining infrastructure.
However, risk remains a factor. AI-powered scams have surged more than 450% in the past year, prompting calls for stricter digital ID and AML protocols in crypto onboarding.
🔮 What’s next?
Analysts predict Bitcoin could hit $150K by year-end, but short-term corrections are likely. Ethereum continues to gain traction, thanks to strong inflows into ETH spot ETFs and regulatory tailwinds.
