CRO Skyrockets, ETH Crashes Post
Aug 29, 2025 7:11 AM

We publish these weekly overall recaps each Friday, and a lot happened just hours after our previous one. At the time, bitcoins price had just retraced to under $112,000 after a week of downward pressure in anticipation of Jerome Powells speech from Jackson Hole.

As the Fed Chair hinted about potential rate cuts as soon as September, BTC reacted with an immediate surge that drove it north by over five grand to over $117,000. Most altcoins followed suit, including ETH, which finally broke its previous all-time high and set a new one at around $4,900.

However, these relief rallies were short-lived. The weekend was calm at first, with BTC retracing to $115,000, but then came Sunday evening, and the landscape changed for the worse. Before it did, though, ETH jumped to another ATH of $4,950, and then the entire market crashed within minutes, leaving over $300 million in longs liquidated in just one hour.

After a brief bounce on Monday, the bears resumed control once again and drove bitcoin to its lowest position in almost seven weeks, at just under $109,000 on Tuesday morning. The fight for supremacy has continued ever since, with the bulls taking BTC to a weekly peak of $113,600 yesterday, only to lose the battle as the asset dipped below $109,500 earlier today.

It has regained some traction now and stands above $110,000, but the overall market structure seems rather shaky. Its market cap has dropped to $2.2 trillion after a 1.5% weekly decline, while its dominance over the alts stands at 56.4%.

In contrast, CRO became the top gainer this week, but more on this in a second.
