Crypto Market Today, Aug. 25: Bitcoins Rebound Above $80,000 -- Has it Finally Bottomed?
On Aug. 25, 2026, greater institutional interest and renewed positive sentiment helped Bitcoin to gain over 22% in a week.
Overview
As of early evening on Aug. 25, Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) gained 0.3% to $78,932.12, Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH) fell 0.5% to $2,460.57, and Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) increased by 1.8% to $97.93. The total crypto market cap increased by 0.5% to $97.93 trillion.
Bitcoin pushed above $80,000 this morning for the first time in over three months as crypto prices continued to rebound. The lead cryptocurrency has gained over 22% in the past seven days, spurred by several factors, including fears of a weaker dollar and increased institutional demand. The rapid rise surprised some short-sellers, causing over $7 billion in short crypto positions to be liquidated in the past week.
