The cryptocurrency market is showing steady growth in early August 2025. The price of Bitcoin (BTC) on August 5 exceeds $114,900, while Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,685, according to data from leading exchanges and analytical platforms.
According to information from trading platforms, Bitcoin remains in the $113,900–$115,600 range. Ethereum is showing more active dynamics and grew by more than 40% in July, facilitated by institutional accumulation and growing interest in ETH-based ETF products.
Analysts attribute ETH’s growth to increased institutional interest — according to Reuters, the total portfolio of public companies in ETH exceeded 966,000 coins (about $3.5 billion), making Ethereum the No. 1 asset for corporate crypto trading in 2025.
Against this backdrop, ETH’s technical potential is estimated at $4,100 in the short term and $6,000–8,000 by the end of the year, provided that resistance above $4,000 is overcome.
At the same time, the Bitcoin price remains stable despite the seasonal August decline in activity. In the short term, BTC could reach $120,000–122,000, according to Cryptonews.
Major altcoins are showing mixed movements. XRP has recovered to $3.65 after a correction and, according to analysts’ forecasts, could reach $5 if the overall market growth continues. Solana (SOL) is receiving support from the DeFi and NFT segments, with a possible rise to $240–247 during August. Dogecoin (DOGE) shows limited potential despite short-term spikes. It is expected to move in the $0.20–0.23 range if market conditions are favorable.
Overall, analysts expect moderately positive dynamics in August amid growing demand from institutional investors and continued interest in crypto ETFs. Potential range: Bitcoin — $115,000–120,000, Ethereum — $3,800–4,200, XRP — $4.20–5.00, Solana — $235–250.
A correction is possible in September amid a traditional slowdown in activity and expectations of decisions from the US Federal Reserve. However, fundamental factors (growth of ETF structures, a positive regulatory environment in the EU and the US, interest in staking and DeFi) create the conditions for the upward trend to continue in the fourth quarter of 2025.
