Bitcoin (BTC-USD) opened at $73,013 on Friday, August 21, 2026, 5.4% higher than Thursday's opening price. As of 9:08 a.m. ET this morning, the price of bitcoin moved up to $77,307.95.

Ethereum (ETH-USD) opened at $2,326.60 on Friday, August 21, 2026, up 3.3% from Thursday's opening price. The price of ethereum moved higher this morning to $2,390.81 as of 9:08 a.m. ET.

Bitcoin and ethereum prices continued to rise Friday morning. The Treasury announcement to buy back more long-term debt and President Trump's recent call to pass crypto legislation sparked the rally. U.S. Treasury debt repurchases inject liquidity into financial markets and suppress long-term bond yields. Lower yields free up investor cash and prompt greater appetite for risk — which benefits cryptocurrencies and other volatile assets.
