More than 422 million $ left Ethereum funds on August 19

On the side of US-listed spot Ethereum ETFs, the same dismal observation holds true. Indeed, on the same day as their counterparts in BTC, the exchange-traded funds of the prince of altcoins recorded over 422 million dollars in net outflows.

Once again, Fidelity and Grayscale are among the fund managers most affected by these outflows. Thus, the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (FETH) saw more than -156 million dollars in net outflows.

Bitcoin below $115,000, Ethereum at $4,200,$ : Whales Shake the Market

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant correction overnight, sending major market caps like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) below key thresholds. Market analysis tools attribute this sudden movement to massive profit-taking by large holders.
Bitcoin drops below 115,000 $ after massive whale sell-offs, while retail traders step in as market activity intensifies.

Ethereum declines by more than 6% to $4,239, reflecting the liquidation pressure caused by whales, similar to that of Bitcoin during the overnight drop.

The crypto market suffers $350 million in liquidations, including $236 million on long positions, exacerbating the bearish momentum.

Analyst Michaël van de Poppe highlights 120,000 $ as a key breakout level for Bitcoin to regain bullish momentum.

Le Bitcoin est passé sous la barre des 116.000$ lundi, s’éloignant nettement des records atteints la semaine dernière, alors que les attentes réduites d’un assouplissement agressif de la Réserve fédérale et les risques géopolitiques accrus pèsent sur l’appétit des investisseurs pour le risque.

La plus grande crypto-monnaie du monde s’échangeait en dernier lieu à 115.664,5$, en baisse de 2% à 07h58 (heure de Paris).

Elle avait grimpé à un niveau record au-dessus de 124.000$ la semaine dernière, mais s’est repliée après que des données américaines sur les prix à la production plus élevées que prévu ont ravivé les inquiétudes concernant l’inflation liée aux tarifs douaniers.

D’autres jetons ont également chuté lundi, l’Ether s’éloignant davantage de ses niveaux proches des records historiques.

The Thai government launched a new program on August 18 to boost the tourism industry by allowing foreign visitors to convert cryptocurrencies into baht for payment

Thailand seeks to stimulate tourism.

According to the Nation Thailand newspaper, the program called "TouristDigiPay" that allows foreign tourists to convert cryptocurrencies into baht for payment is the Thai government's solution to the decline of the tourism industry this year.

The details of the program were announced at a press conference chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira, in the presence of key officials from the Ministry of Finance, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.

The idea of using cryptocurrencies to stimulate tourism is under constant review by the Thai government. The SEC recently completed its public consultation on the use of financial innovation and digital assets to support economic growth and tourism. The deadline for receiving comments is set for August 13.

As part of the new program, foreign tourists who wish to convert digital assets into baht for spending must open an account with a digital asset company and a cryptocurrency service provider, both regulated by the SEC and the Bank of Thailand (BOT).

Volodymyr Zelensky will meet Donald Trump on Monday in Washington, no ceasefire after the summit in Alaska

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, accompanied by their advisers, discussed for nearly three hours on Friday in Anchorage, Alaska. This was their first summit since the return of the American billionaire to power. Expectations were very high for this meeting, which was primarily supposed to focus on the war in Ukraine.

- At the end of the meeting, the two leaders spoke of "productive" and "constructive" discussions. Donald Trump stated that "a lot of progress" has been made and that there are "very few" issues left to resolve. However, the two heads of state did not answer any questions from journalists and left Alaska without providing further details.

- Shortly after the end of the summit, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he will meet his American counterpart on Monday in Washington to discuss resolving the conflict in Ukraine. European leaders, for their part, reaffirmed their support for Ukraine, indicating that they are "ready to maintain pressure" on Russia through sanctions.

- More than three and a half years after the start of the Russian invasion, the prospect of an end to hostilities still seems distant, given the incompatibility of Moscow and Kiev's demands.

Bitcoin, barometer of peace?
While American President Donald Trump recently mentioned a possible "land exchange" between Ukraine and Russia to end the war, the price of Bitcoin could very well be influenced by these peace negotiations.
The discussions could indeed have an impact on energy costs, inflation, and interest rates, all of which directly affect the price of BTC. Let's take stock of all this.

The Bitcoin price dropped sharply after a rise in the July PPI, which exceeded expectations and reduced rate cut expectations.

The high producer price data suggests persistent inflationary pressures, complicating the Federal Reserve's plans for monetary policy easing.

Upcoming retail sales data pose an additional risk for the Bitcoin price.

#btc Top or not Top? Bitcoin (BTC) recently reached a new all-time high of $124,000, but some analysts wonder if the market could follow a similar pattern to the 2021 bull run. Because the current price action of BTC strangely resembles that of the previous bull market of the king of cryptos. Is a new double top forming? Not so sure, given the increasing institutional demand for Bitcoin, which could change the game.

A whale is shedding.
The price of Ethereum (ETH) recently surpassed $4,600, notably due to massive investments in ETH ETFs. And it seems that some whales (large holders of cryptocurrencies) are taking this opportunity to start taking their profits. Indeed, an entity nicknamed "7 Siblings" by observers sold tens of millions of dollars worth of ethers in just a few hours, as we will see.
According to tracking data from Lookonchain, published this Wednesday, August 13, 2025, on X, an Ethereum whale holding about 1.21 million ETH, or approximately $5.6 billion, began selling some of its

Unstaking requests for ETH are at an all-time high – Upcoming wave of sales on Ethereum?

Unstaking requests are at an all-time high on Ethereum (ETH). As the cryptocurrency has just grazed its all-time high, this could suggest massive sales from holders.

According to data shared by Validatorqueue, the withdrawal queue reached over 767,500 units as of August 15. The entry requests total 324,500 units
