On August 24, Bitcoin continued to trade above $77,000 following a strong market rally during the previous week. The leading cryptocurrency recently approached $79,500, its highest level in approximately three months.
One of the main factors behind the recovery has been renewed institutional demand. According to CoinDesk, US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted approximately $606 million on August 20, while Ethereum funds received an additional $221 million.
These inflows indicate that interest in digital assets among large investors is increasing again.
What Is Supporting Bitcoin?
Alongside institutional ETF demand, market participants have highlighted several additional factors:
- improving global liquidity expectations;
- declining yields on certain government bonds;
- weakness in the US dollar;
- reduced regulatory uncertainty;
- traders closing short positions.
As a result, Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed not only as a risk asset but also as a potential hedge against inflation and the depreciation of traditional currencies.
What Is Happening Across the Crypto Market?
The recovery has also affected other major cryptocurrencies. Ethereum has posted notable gains, while its technical outlook has improved following an extended period of weakness.
Activity has also increased in Solana, XRP and several other popular digital assets.
