BITCOIN HOLDS $79,000, ETHER, SOLANA SLIP AS TRADERS BANK A WEEK OF GAINS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Bitcoin held near $79,000 on August 26 as traders booked profits following a week that delivered a 23% BTC gain and a nearly 45% XRP rally. Ether and Solana each fell approximately 4% over 24 hours, with most major tokens tracking lower on the day. HYPE was the lone exception among large-cap tokens, avoiding the daily decline. The daily softness in altcoins following those weekly advances is consistent with short-term distribution at elevated price levels.
