Here’s a quick rundown for you on the crypto market shakeup as of Aug 20, 2025:
1. Price Drop: Bitcoin dipped near $115K (5% in a week), and Ethereum slipped to about $4,300, dragging overall market cap below $4 trillion. Volatility is high with broader selloffs hitting crypto stocks too.
2. Tether’s U.S. Push: Following the GENIUS Act, Tether is gearing up for regulated U.S. expansion focused on institutions, aiming to boost transparency and compliance. They’ve appointed Bo Hines to lead their U.S. strategy and plan pilots with financial institutions.
3. $300M Scam Crackdown: Global law enforcement and blockchain firms froze over $300 million in crypto scam assets via crossborder collaborations, including targeting romance scams and large fraud schemes through the T3 Financial Crime Unit involving Tether, TRON, and Binance.
