The crypto market shed $100B in 24 hours last week, closing out one of August’s sharpest corrections. Ethereum’s cycle is starting to mirror 2017 patterns, with accumulation phases and breakout setups drawing comparisons from analysts.
Despite the drop, institutional inflows remain strong: Ethereum ETFs and DeFi TVL at $92.5B show ongoing accumulation. Chainlink led the rebound, climbing 18% to $25.85 on heavy volume and new product updates.
Global headlines also shaped sentiment — from Trump backing a Russia-Ukraine deal, to Japan preparing its first yen stablecoin, and Thailand rolling out crypto payments for tourists. ADA also broke $1 for the first time in five months on ETF speculation.
