Ethereum Surges to $4.8K, Solana Pops as Volatility Resumes — August 25, 2025, 9:20 AM IST

The crypto market sees renewed volatility and volume surges Monday morning, with Ethereum and Solana leading gains while Bitcoin and XRP tread water:

• Ethereum (ETH) spikes in volume to US$829.8M (+131.4%), trading at US$4,800 (-0.64%). Despite a modest price dip, huge flows signal major investor interest. The funding rate stays low (0.02%), suggesting this rally is spot-driven rather than speculative.
• Bitcoin (BTC) remains flat at US$113,000 (-1.49%) as volume jumps to US$565.23M (+145%). Funding is neutral (0%), with traders awaiting a decisive move after last week's drop.
• Solana (SOL) extends its rally, up 1.05% to US$210.56 on strong volume (US$455.53M, +25.7%). The funding rate rises to 0.48%, reflecting growing speculative interest and bullish sentiment among traders.
• XRP ticks lower (-0.29%) to US$3.041 with volume of US$208.72M (+71.6%). A funding rate of 0.33% shows moderate positioning as XRP continues to consolidate at higher levels.

Market Context

• Ethereum and Solana are major standouts in the session, attracting heavy flows and outperforming other top coins.
• Bitcoin’s flat price action with massive volume increase points to accumulating pressure—a breakout or breakdown could be imminent.
• Funding rates remain subdued across majors except for SOL, implying mostly spot-led trends with limited leverage.
