Ethereum Pops to $4.2K on Surging Volume; Bitcoin, XRP, Solana Stabilize — August 19, 2025, 3:00 PM IST

Major cryptocurrencies show significant volume spikes and stabilization near local highs as Tuesday afternoon ushers in bullish undertones:

• Ethereum (ETH) leaps in volume to US$885.52M (+56.61%) and holds above US$4,200 (-0.27%). This dramatic uptick in trade points to strong, renewed interest, while the funding rate stays at 0.02%, signifying ongoing spot-driven demand with little leveraged froth.
• Bitcoin (BTC) mirrors the surge with 24H volume rocketing to US$702.86M (+73.28%), keeping price steady at US$115,000 (-0.04%). The funding rate stands at 0%, highlighting a balanced derivatives market and broad market participation rather than speculative excess.
• XRP climbs decisively back above the $3 mark, up 1.91% to US$3.025 on volume of US$241.5M (+31.09%). The 0.33% funding rate reflects rising long interest as traders reposition for further recovery.
• Solana (SOL) edges slightly lower (-0.37%) to US$180.55 as volume slips to US$181.23M (-9.71%), but retains a moderate funding rate (0.55%) suggesting sustained, but not aggressive, leveraged positioning.

Key Takeaways

• Volumes: Both ETH and BTC volumes are sharply higher—signaling a revival in both spot and derivatives interest.
• Momentum: ETH outperforms peers with a notable push above $4,200, while XRP rebounds and Bitcoin consolidates on higher turnover.
• Funding rates remain generally low or moderate, suggesting most gains are driven by spot buying rather than market-wide leveraged speculation.

With volatility returning and major coins reclaiming key levels, traders should watch for follow-through on these bullish signals as August enters its second half.
