Bitcoin Prices Reach Fresh, All-Time High Above $124,000
Bitcoin prices rallied on Wednesday, August 11, reaching a fresh, all-time high above $124,000. The world's most valuable digital currency had climbed to roughly $124,380 around 8:30 p.m. EST, according to Coinbase data from TradingView. Interestingly enough, ether, the second-most valuable cryptocurrency, was also in the green, rising to more than $4,750, less than $150 from the record high it reached in 2021, additional Coinbase figures from TradingView reveal. When explaining these latest price movements, analyst Joe DiPasquale cited several variables. 'Bitcoin's push to new highs is being fueled by strong ETF inflows, ongoing institutional adoption, and a supportive macro backdrop with rate cuts back on the table,' said DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency hedge fund manager BitBull Capital. 'Once BTC broke through prior resistance, momentum traders piled in, amplifying the rally,' he added. Going forward, investors have a positive view of the innovative asset, he continued, stating that 'Sentiment remains firmly bullish as investors view bitcoin as both a growth asset and an inflation hedge.' Several analysts spoke to the implications of bitcoin's latest zenith, including Tim Enneking, managing partner of Psalion, who claimed that 'Although BTC just barely put in a new ATH today (at least, so far), there is almost certainly much more to come.' 'Unlike any other digital or fiat asset, the fundamental nature of the BTC market is in the process of radical change,' he emphasized. 'There is an ever-growing list of companies, countries, states, provinces and massive whales all beginning to accumulate BTC.' 'And, today, almost no one is still proclaiming BTC to be a currency or a medium of exchange,' Enneking continued. 'But, virtually everyone agrees that it has become a nearly perfect store of value: finite supply, not controlled by any single (or small group) actor, easily transferrable, potentially not traceable (pass on a flash drive and avoid the blockchain), secure (although a quantum-defense fork will be needed relatively soon), durable and, increasingly, popular with large, institutional investors.' 'Many of these characteristics are new and, therefore, their implications have not been fully priced in,' he claimed. 'Over the past eight months, the value of BTC has only increased 20%; gold has appreciated more – and with far fewer, secular tailwinds. Therefore, there is a strong argument that BTC is significantly undervalued and I think we are just beginning to see the market understand and absorb that,' Enneking concluded. Ben Kurland, CEO at crypto research platform DYOR, also spoke to the implications of the latest price movements of bitcoin and ether, emphasizing how the overall crypto space has matured over time. 'Bitcoin setting a new all time high and ETH edging ever closer to doing so means we've moved from the speculative, retail-driven mania of previous bull runs to a place where institutions are adopting, real-world integrations are happening, and global liquidity is increasingly driving more efficient price discovery.' he stated via email. 'It's telling that both assets are surging like this in tandem, and it signals more broad market conviction than just a single-asset rally,' said Kurland. 'Momentum this strong often has legs because it tends to draw in latecomers who can further fuel even more volatility.' 'Right now, the story is more about validation than euphoria — and it means that crypto is graduating from an 'alternative' asset to an 'essential' one in the foundational portfolio mix,' he stated.

Coinbase says just 5% in Bitcoin could supercharge your portfolio
Coinbase says just 5% in Bitcoin could supercharge your portfolio originally appeared on TheStreet. Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) thinks allocating only 5% of your portfolio to Bitcoin could do wonders. Coinbase Asset Management published a report on Aug. 12 in which it recommended five investing strategies to diversify into cryptocurrency. The simplest way forward is adding Bitcoin to a portfolio, Coinbase said, and recommended a 5% allocation to Bitcoin, as it greatly enhances returns and capitalizes on its 73% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from January 2017 to June 2025. The king coin has generated a return of 14.28% during the same period. The report argued that a 5% allocation to Bitcoin instead of bonds outperformed the standard 60/40 equity-bond benchmark from 2018 onwards. Coinbase also recommended allocating 10% of a portfolio to Bitcoin and gold. Bitcoin is called the "digital gold," which, following the bullion's footsteps, has become a store of value. With gold's market cap at $20 trillion and Bitcoin's market cap at $2 trillion, the assets are among the most valued in the world. Coinbase created a store of value index composed of Bitcoin and gold in which the former's weight increases as its volatility decreases. Data suggests that the index outperformed the 60/40 equity-bond benchmark from 2020 onwards. MAG7 Crypto Basket: BlackRock, Coinbase, Circle, MicroStrategy Coinbase recommended another way for investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrency. It created a "MAG7 Crypto Basket" composed of equally weighted stocks of companies that are dedicated to crypto or exploring crypto technologies. The basket is composed of the following stocks: (i) the world's leading asset manager, BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), which issues crypto ETFs, (ii) Jack Dorsey's Bitcoin-centric fintech company, Block Inc. (NYSE: XYZ), (iii) Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN) itself, which is the largest crypto exchange in the U.S., (iv) Circle (NYSE: CRCL), the crypto firm behind the second-largest stablecoin USDC, (v) the Bitcoin mining giant MARA Holdings (Nasdaq: MARA), (vi) the leading Bitcoin treasury firm, MicroStrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), and (vii) the fintech firm PayPal (Nasdaq: PYPL), which also issues a stablecoin. While the risk-adjusted results of MAG7 outperform Bitcoin as a standalone asset, the drawdown is much more severe. "Bitcoin's fixed supply and decentralized nature position it as a hedge against higher inflation, enhancing portfolio resilience," the report said. Bitcoin was trading at $122,402.77 at the time of writing, up 2.2% in 24 hours. Disclaimer: The content above is intended for informational purposes only and should not be taken as financial advice.

LI fraudster sentenced to 4 years after blowing nearly $2M in COVID cash on watches, luxury hotels and crypto
A Long Island man who blew almost $2 million in COVID relief money on Patek watches, luxury hotels, and crypto coins was sentenced to four years in prison Wednesday. Niall Alli, 52, of Inwood, pleaded guilty in December 2023 to disaster relief fraud and wire fraud for swindling the Small Business Administration out of more than $1.7 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans during the height of the pandemic, federal prosecutors said. He will now have to pay back every cent — along with an extra approximately $135,000 in asset forfeiture from corporate bank accounts and Ethereum from a corporate Coinbase wallet. Watches made by Swiss watch brand Patek Philippe SA are seen on display Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, in New York. AP 'Alli saw the COVID-19 programs and the deadly pandemic as an avenue for stealing money from the government and taxpayers,' said U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. '[Alli] now knows the price of such conduct is the loss of his freedom and full restitution to the Small Business Administration.' From April 2020 to November 2021, Alli used two companies he controlled — Allicorp, Inc. and Oxypaper, Inc. — to file bogus PPP applications stuffed with fake payroll records and phony financial data, officials said. Once the cash hit his accounts, he doubled down with fraudulent forgiveness requests backed by fabricated statements. Prosecutors said the cash fueled Alli's lavish lifestyle, including nearly $500,000 in cryptocurrency, two Patek Philippe wristwatches worth about $140,000 each, and $36,000 for just one single stay at a luxury Manhattan hotel on top of other luxurious hotel stays for over $10,000 each. Alli pleaded guilty in December 2023 to disaster relief fraud and wire fraud for swindling the Small Business Administration out of more than $1.7 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans during the height of COVID-19. Yuriy T – They added that Alli also used the PPP funds to pay for private school tuition for his child, and nonchalantly splurged on $800 champagne and $600 Scotch at high-end restaurants.
