Hello, profit seekers! This week the crypto market is really going wild. After some back-and-forth, Bitcoin finally breaks through the psychological level of $80,000 on August 25, 2026. Not only BTC—almost all altcoins also surged. Let’s break down what happened and what it means for us!
📌 Bitcoin Breaks Through $80,000: What Triggered It?
Bitcoin jumps from around **$64,000 on August 17** to breaking through $80,000 in just 8 days—an increase of more than 20% in a short time.
3 Main Drivers:
1. U.S. Treasury Policy (Bond Buyback)
The U.S. Treasury Department increases its buyback of long-term government bonds, which suppresses bond yields and encourages investors to shift into risk-on assets like crypto.
2. Trump & CLARITY Act
President Trump meets with crypto industry executives at the White House and urges Congress to quickly pass the CLARITY Act— a bill that will provide legal certainty for the crypto industry in the U.S.
3. The Biggest Short Squeeze in History!
Data shows that $3.5 billion worth of leveraged** positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with short positions (price-drop bets) contributing more than **$3 billion. This is the 7th largest liquidation event in crypto history.
📊 BlackRock Snaps Up $BTC & $ETH !
What makes the market even more confident: BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is going on a crypto buying spree!
BlackRock data (August 2026) Value
Total Crypto Portfolio $68.48 billion (up **$15.11 billion** or 28.3%
within a month)
IBIT (Bitcoin ETF) $60.35 billion (up **$12.66 billion**)
ETHA (Ethereum ETF) $8.12 billion (up **$2.45 billion**)
Arkham Intelligence data as of August 27, 2026
BlackRock adds 31,830 BTC and 370,440 ETH throughout August. This is a strong signal that big institutions are seriously moving into crypto!
🔥 Altcoins Are Also Flying Up!
Coin Rise (24–25 August)
Ethereum (ETH) +19% to $2,500+
XRP +13% to $1.47
Solana (SOL) +13% to $94
HYPE +25%
Total crypto market capitalization increases by $280 billion in 24 hours** at the peak of the rally—an average of **$12 billion per hour!
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
Profit Taking
On-chain data shows that many long-term holders are starting to move BTC to exchanges to sell.
The SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) rises to 1.48—its highest level since July 25.
New demand must absorb this selling pressure so the price stays stable.
Middle East Conflict
U.S.–Iran tensions are still a risk factor that could affect the global market.
U.S. Inflation Data Still High
The PCE index is still far above the 2% target, which could keep the Fed hawkish (high interest rates)
🔍 Predictions From the Experts
Bullish Scenario:
Standard Chartered predicts BTC could reach $100,000 by the end of this year.
If the CLARITY Act passes in the September 15 vote, it could become the next big catalyst.
Bearish Scenario (Correction):
Analysts estimate that BTC may consolidate at $75,000–$80,000 before continuing its rise.
The chance of the CLARITY Act passing this year is still only 28% according to Polymarket, up from 20% before Trump’s statement.
📝 Latest Update from Binance (August 27, 2026):
