Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETH) listed in the U.S. recorded inflows of US$189.15 million on August 19, the highest daily inflow since October 28, 2025.

The result represents a shift to a product line that faced difficulties at the beginning of 2026. According to SoSoValue, Ethereum funds recorded outflows of US$540.88 million in May and US$528.99 million in June.

On October 10 of last year, a Friday headline about tariffs hit the highly leveraged crypto market hard, and about US$19 billion in positions were liquidated within 24 hours, most of them long, predominantly from retail investors.
Bitcoin fell by more than US$120,000 to around US$105,000. Solana lost 40% before finding new buyers, and more than 1.6 million accounts were wiped out or came close. Prices eventually stabilized. But people didn’t come back the same way.

The XRP price jump gained rare prominence on August 19, rising 10.40% and overtaking Bitcoin, which advanced 7.13%, driven by a sizable short squeeze that moved the entire market.
For those wondering why XRP is going up, the short squeeze was the trigger, but the token also showed its own strength. However, the financial volume that confirms the rise, the history of days like this, and the XRP chart itself indicate, together, a cautious path.
How strong was the XRP price rally, really?

OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said the artificial intelligence (AI) lab plans to go public in 2027. She added that the debut could happen earlier if the “deal continues to develop.”

A Shiba Inu (SHIB) rose 6.76% on Thursday, but the memecoin lagged behind a broad market rally that pushed Ethereum up 17.8%.
The project’s official profile attributed the recovery move to the team itself, telling followers that sellers noticed the token’s approach and “chose cardio.” However, wider market flows point to a different scenario.
Why did Shiba Inu’s rally track the market, not the memes?
The Shib team provided no technical explanation for the performance. Instead, it suggested that those who sold chose to abandon their positions, without trying to defend them.

Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed US$70,000 yesterday for the first time since June 2. The liquidation of short positions totaled US$2.74 billion over the past 24 hours.
The rally began after policy signals from Washington. Forced short covering amplified the move, turning a macroeconomic catalyst into a cascade across derivatives markets. Now, a key question arises: will the rally continue?
What drove the jump in Bitcoin’s price?
Two main factors are behind this move. BeInCrypto reported that the Treasury will double its repurchases of long-term debt to at least US$4 billion each.

Bitcoin’s funding rate has just reached its highest level in 20 months, which, according to historical analyses, serves as a warning. A positive index means traders pay a fee to keep open long positions, showing that most are betting on price increases.

Cameron Winklevoss, cofounder of Gemini, says that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have given investors a kind of Bitcoin (BTC) time machine, since the asset is currently trading near half of the value it recorded last year.
He published this analysis on X, suggesting that investors should view the dip as an opportunity to enter rather than as a warning sign.
Why does Winklevoss call this a Bitcoin time machine?
According to Winklevoss, the flow of capital into AI stocks has suppressed crypto prices. This means that now buyers can access levels that seemed out of reach twelve months ago.
