Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (August 15) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$117,981, following a volatile 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$117,547, while its highest so far was US$119,315.

Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of $124,533 on Thursday (August 14), driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and increased institutional interest. However, the rally was short-lived, as the price fell as low as $117,263 early Friday.

The decline was attributed to a higher-than-expected US Producer Price Index (PPI) for July, which dampened investor optimism about imminent interest rate reductions. Additionally, comments from US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that the US holds fewer Bitcoin reserves than previously thought, further unsettling the market.

Meanwhile, Ethereum’s (ETH) weekend rally briefly has worn off, currently down by 3 percent to US$4,556.55. The cryptocurrency’s lowest valuation on Friday was US$4,462.52, and its highest was US$4,690.57.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$189.85, down by 4.3 percent over 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was at US$198.27, while its lowest valuation was US$188.80.
  • XRP was trading for US$3.08, down 1.7 percent in the past 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was at US$3.14, while its lowest was US$3.04.
  • Sui (SUI) was trading at US$3.75, down by 2.53 percent over the past 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was at US$3.78, while its lowest was US$3.68.
  • Cardano (ADA) was trading at US$0.9485, up by 1.7 percent over 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was at US$0.9605, while its lowest was US$0.9362.

Today’s crypto news to know

Ethereum ETFs cruise past Bitcoin, totals nearly US$3 billion in a week

Ethereum-focused exchange-traded funds have seen an unprecedented surge in investor demand, attracting almost US$3 billion in net inflows over the past week.

According to SoSoValue data, this growth is more than five times the US$562 million that flowed into Bitcoin ETFs during the same period. The spike coincides with a rapid increase in Ethereum holdings by crypto treasury firms, which climbed from US$600 million to US$11 billion in just six weeks.

ETF Store president Nate Geraci noted that three of the four largest single-day inflows for Ethereum ETFs since their inception occurred this week alone.

ETH prices have rallied nearly 19 percent over the past seven days, coming within reach of their 2021 all-time high of US$4,878.

The inflows also follow recent SEC approval of in-kind creations and redemptions for spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, a change that makes the funds more cost-efficient and attractive to institutional investors.

Michael Saylor bets on US$100 billion ‘bitcoin credit’

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) (formerly MicroStrategy), is pursuing a high-risk plan to finance further Bitcoin purchases through perpetual preferred stock offerings.

The new securities—nicknamed “Stretch”—do not mature, lack voting rights, and can skip dividends under certain conditions, giving the issuer flexibility while raising investor concerns about risk.

This marks a departure from the company’s earlier reliance on common stock sales and convertible bonds to fund what is now a US$75 billion Bitcoin treasury. Saylor aims to retire billions in outstanding debt and replace it with preferred equity, which he says could theoretically scale to US$100 billion or more in capital raised.

The model hinges on investor appetite for yield backed indirectly by Bitcoin’s performance, while avoiding the dilution impact of issuing more common stock.

Hong Kong SFC rolls out stricter rules for licensed Crypto platforms

Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has introduced new custody rules for licensed virtual asset trading platforms, setting stricter benchmarks for how client assets must be stored and secured.

The updated framework includes specific requirements for cold wallet usage, senior management accountability, and real-time cyber-threat monitoring, alongside rules for using third-party wallet providers.

These measures follow an SFC review earlier this year that identified security and operational gaps among some licensed exchanges. The regulator says the changes are part of its ASPIRe strategy, a five-point plan to address liquidity fragmentation, regulatory arbitrage, and volatility while expanding regulated product offerings.

The policy also aims to position Hong Kong as a safer, more structured alternative to other Asian crypto hubs, notably Singapore, which has imposed tighter limits on retail trading.

(TSXV: PTU,OTC:PTUUF) (OTCQB: PTUUF) (‘Purepoint’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that due to strong investor demand, it has increased the offering size of the non-brokered private placement, previously announced on August 13, 2025, from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 (the ‘Offering’).

IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX: ISO) (NYSE American: ISOU) (‘IsoEnergy‘), the Company’s joint venture partner for the Dorado, Aurora and Celeste projects, located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan has confirmed its intention to invest $1,000,000 in support of the Company’s financing efforts.

The Offering will comprise of a combination of the following:

  • Saskatchewan flow-through units of the Company (each, a ‘SFT Unit‘) at a price of $0.65 per SFT Unit with each SFT Unit consisting of one common share of the Company to be issued on a ‘flow through’ basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a ‘SFT Share‘) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a ‘Warrant‘);
  • National flow-through units of the Company (each, a ‘NFT Unit‘) at a price of $0.59 per NFT Unit with each NFT Unit consisting of one common share of the Company to be issued on a ‘flow through’ basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a ‘NFT Share‘) and one Warrant; and
  • Traditional flow-through units of the Company (each, a ‘TFT Unit‘, together with the SFT Unit and the NFT, the ‘Units‘) at a price of $0.59 per TFT Unit with each TFT Unit consisting of one common share of the Company to be issued on a ‘flow through’ basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a ‘TFT Share‘, together with the SFT Shares and the NFT Shares, the ‘FT Shares‘) and one Warrant.

Each Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one common share of the Company (each a ‘Warrant Share‘) at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

Participation by IsoEnergy in the Offering will be considered a ‘related party transaction’ pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61- 101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘).

The world’s top gold producers delivered a string of robust second-quarter results, buoyed by record prices and resilient operations as investors continue to seek refuge in the yellow metal amid growing economic uncertainty.

With spot gold trading above US$3,400 per troy ounce, just shy of its April all-time high of US$3,448.50, the world’s largest gold producers posted higher earnings and stronger cash flow in their recent Q2 results.

Below is a breakdown of how a few major players fared in Q2.

Barrick nearly doubles profit margins

Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B) formerly Barrick Gold, reported a 97 percent year-on-year jump in net income to US$1.25 billion for the quarter, compared to US$634 million a year earlier.

Earnings per share rose to US$0.47 while operating cash flow in the first half reached US$2.5 billion, up 32 percent from 2024. Free cash flow more than doubled to US$770 million, supported by higher commodity prices.

Gold production climbed 5 percent from the first quarter, while copper output surged 34 percent, led by strong performance at Zambia’s Lumwana mine. Nevada Gold Mines boosted output by 11 percent, while Pueblo Viejo in the Dominican Republic posted a 28 percent increase as expansion work in the site advanced.

“From the ramp-up at Goldrush to the progress at Pueblo Viejo, Lumwana and Reko Diq, not to mention the transformational potential of Fourmile, we’re demonstrating the strength and depth of our portfolio,” president and chief executive Mark Bristow said in the recent Q2 report.

The company also recently agreed to sell its Alturas Project in Chile to a Boroo subsidiary for US$50 million upfront plus a royalty, with proceeds earmarked for funding future ventures

Kinross outpaces gold price gains

Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX:K,NYSE:KGC) posted record attributable free cash flow of US$646.6 million in the second quarter, alongside operating cash flow of US$992.4 million. Adjusted net earnings jumped to US$541 million from US$174.7 million a year earlier.

Further, the company achieved a 21 percent margin increase from the first quarter, outpacing the 15 percent rise in gold prices over the same period.

“Our portfolio of mines continued to perform well during the quarter contributing to a strong first half of the year and positioning us well to achieve our full-year guidance,” CEO J. Paul Rollinson said.

Kinross said that it expects to produce 2 million gold-equivalent ounces in 2025 at an average production cost of US$1,120 per ounce.

Paracatu in Brazil was the company’s top-producing asset, while Tasiast in Mauritania began mining the Fennec satellite deposit. US-based Bald Mountain also reported higher output at lower costs.

The company also advanced key projects, including its Great Bear exploration program in Ontario, engineering work at Round Mountain Phase X in Nevada, and drilling at the Curlew Basin project in Washington.

Agnico Eagle delivers, shares gain

Agnico Eagle’s (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM) operational consistency and cost control helped drive a six-day share price rally, culminating in a 10.06 percent gain over the past week.

In the second quarter, the company produced 866,029 ounces of gold, maintaining full-year guidance of 3.3 to 3.5 million ounces. Adjusted earnings per share came in at US$1.94, prompting analysts to raise 2025 profit forecasts by US$0.70 to US$6.94.

Analysts cited the company’s steady performance despite rising unit costs, noting its appeal as a defensive play in the sector. Bank of America raised its price target to US$173 due to rising optimism about the firm’s growth prospects.

Newmont rides sector momentum

Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM) posted higher sales and net income for the quarter while authorizing a new share repurchase program and declaring a quarterly dividend.

The miner also renewed a key lease in Ghana. Shares rose 36 percent over the last quarter, outpacing the US Metals and Mining industry’s 24.1 percent return.

The performance came despite a drop in the company’s gold production. Rather, Newmont underscored the role of shareholder returns and strategic asset moves in supporting investor sentiment. Over the past three years, Newmont has delivered a total shareholder return of 63.75 percent.

Gold outlook: Gold shines during volatility

The sector’s strong quarter unfolded against a favorable macro backdrop.

Gold, which has gained about 30 percent year-to-date, has been buoyed by safe-haven flows. The metal’s latest rally began after spot prices dipped to US$3,311.80 in early August, then climbed back above US$3,418 by the first week of August..

The Federal Reserve cut rates by a full percentage point in late 2024 but has held steady this year, citing the need for more data on how tariffs affect inflation. Lower rates generally enhance gold’s appeal by reducing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets..
