Cryptocurrency Prices Today, Aug 28: Bitcoin Holds $110K; Ethereum and Solana Among Top Gainers and Losers

The global cryptocurrency market remained volatile on Thursday, August 28, 2025, with major coins like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) trading in a choppy range. While some altcoins posted notable gains, others witnessed mild profit booking.

Crypto experts are currently cautious as profit-taking continues among whales and long-term holders, but strong fundamentals like Bitcoin's rising hash rate signal long-term resilience. If BTC holds above $110K, the market could see a bullish reversal in September.

"Institutional appetite leans heavily toward Ethereum: Ethereum spot ETFs pulled in a record near $455 million in net inflows, marking the second time this week ETH ETFs outpaced BTC, with BlackRock's ETHA alone contributing near $323 million and Fidelity's FETH $85 million. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs saw modest inflows of approximately $92 million (around 827 BTC). President Trump's attempt to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook intensified concerns about the central bank's independence. U.S. Treasurys and the dollar fell under pressure, with investors turning to traditional "safe havens" like gold-which has surged 30% year-to-date, though the situation raises questions about cryptocurrencies' comparative hedge appeal." According to Coinswitch.
