Crypto Market Pulse – August 12, 2025
The cryptocurrency market is heating up as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and leading altcoins navigate intense volatility. Bitcoin trades above $119,000, recovering from recent dips, though analysts still warn of potential pullbacks amid liquidity concerns. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF saw a $292M outflow, yet 53% of BTC remains with long-term holders, fueling hopes for a climb toward $140K by 2026—despite bearish voices eyeing $100K.
Ethereum has surged to $4,309, with corporate treasuries holding 876K ETH. Spot ETH ETFs have attracted $5.4B in just 20 days, underscoring strong institutional demand.
BNB holds firm around $803, while Solana trades at $176 ahead of its Seeker mobile device launch, projected to generate $67.5M. Toncoin jumped 14% after Verb Technology’s $558M TON purchase, and meme coin TROLL exploded 210%.
Still, risks loom—$900M was liquidated, BigONE lost $27M to hackers, and deepfake scams are on the rise. With new regulations emerging, investor vigilance is key.
