An unusual wind has been blowing over the crypto-sphere for a few days, and no one missed it. Bitcoin’s latest performances feel like a true balm to the heart of a sector often battered at this time. Enough to push financial analysts to bring out their rarest superlatives. Yet behind the euphoria, the clouds are never far away.

- This performance marks the first positive August during a post-peak bearish phase, breaking a series of declines seen in 2014, 2018, and 2022.
- Institutions strongly supported the movement with massive inflows into crypto ETFs and Strategy’s purchase of 4,603 BTC for 370 million dollars.
- Ethereum, Solana, and several DeFi tokens followed the bullish wave while September risks related to the Fed and oil become clearer.
