Peaked Bitcoin price reached $3,668.
In the crypto world, August 2025 saw a significant rebound and strong growth for several major digital currencies. Among the top performers were Ethereum and BNB, with Bitcoin stabilising after an early-month peak.
Bitcoin (BTC), the world's largest cryptocurrency, traded near $113,636 around mid-August, having peaked earlier in the month at about $124,400. After a dip, Bitcoin showed signs of recovery, with a more than 4% jump in 24 hours by August 22, putting it roughly at $117,000.
Ethereum (ETH) experienced a significant rally in August, breaking above its 2021 all-time high price of about $4,869 on August 22, surging over 15% in a single day. Earlier in the month, Ethereum had fallen to multi-year lows near $1,385 in April, but it rebounded strongly. By late August, ETH's price was over $4,000, and its market cap was approximately $588 billion, reflecting very strong monthly growth.
BNB (Binance Coin) also showed substantial gains throughout August. Around mid-August, prices were in the $833 to $882 range, breaking the $850 resistance and setting new all-time highs near $882. Institutional buying fueled uplifts, and BNB approached resistance near $915, with potential targets near $992. By August 22, BNB was trading between $809 and $886, up around 12% for the month and 31% over six months.
Ripple (XRP) posted double-digit percentage gains in August, following the market-wide rally, though exact prices on August 12 are not provided. Predictions and sentiment indicated strong momentum aligned with the overall altcoin surge.
Solana (SOL) traded near $173 to $209 around August 22, showing a steady upward trend with about 1.5% gains in the prior week, and over 13% growth in the past six months. On August 16, Solana’s price was around $210, but with some bearish pressure trying to keep it below certain resistance levels. Overall, SOL showed promising but cautious gains for the month.
