Archive August 2025

In August, Ethereum reached 14.98% dominance, its highest since September 2024, accompanied by a historic record. At the same time, Bitcoin fell to 58.2%, its lowest since January 2025. This shift reflects a capital reallocation within the crypto market: whales, notably on Binance, are now accumulating ETH, confirming that Ethereum is no longer a mere supporting actor but a real growth asset compared to Bitcoin, still seen as a safe haven.

While bitcoin briefly fell back to 112,000 dollars, MicroStrategy seized the opportunity to increase its strategic stock. Michael Saylor, the largest public holder of BTC, maintains his bet on bitcoin despite now reduced acquisitions.

While the crypto market is going through a summer lull, one asset draws attention: XRP. Trapped in a tight chart pattern, it is approaching a decisive breakout point. Technical analysis leaves little doubt. A major move is looming, either upward or downward. In a context of general uncertainty, all eyes turn to this crypto whose next few days could well redefine its path.

In a few hours, Ethereum went from euphoria to retreat. On August 24, the crypto reached an all-time high of 4,955 dollars before losing nearly 9% shortly after, with 60 billion dollars of capitalization going up in smoke. Such a brutal correction, occurring in an already fragile market, recalls the fragility of bullish rallies in an environment still largely driven by speculation.

While inflation slows on a national scale, property owners do not escape the reality of the figures. Since August 25, the first property tax notices have arrived, with a national increase set at 1.7%. Indeed, behind this mechanical revaluation, much higher local increases are quietly added. This tax burden, far from being insignificant, reveals growing tensions between budget-pressured local authorities and already weakened taxpayers.

When bitcoin falters, whales sell, small holders pick up, and the Fed sneezes. Crypto, this monetary theater where everyone plays their part... often without knowing the script.

While the SEC is considering, Grayscale acts: a crypto ETF on Avalanche is emerging, between juicy staking, altcoin ambitions, and the promise of a jackpot... if all goes well.

Onchain analytics platform Bubblemaps has published a detailed investigation suggesting that crypto figure Hayden Davis (also known as Kelsier) may have been behind a coordinated snipe of the newly launched $YZY token, allegedly generating $12 million in profits.
