Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana climb as investors weigh trade policy uncertainty and growing odds of an interest rate cut in September.

With its latest all-time high in August, Bitcoin is breaking the usual post-halving pattern and may have peaked early, analysts at CoinGecko say.

Bitcoin is up slightly to trade above $109,000, while altcoins are mostly in the red.

Ethereum and major altcoins dropped as markets reacted to softening consumer spending and steady inflation.

Markets received a boost after the U.S. reported stronger-than-expected Q2 GDP, while crypto consolidated midweek gains.

Solana surges 8%, outperforming most altcoins as ETH and XRP gain 2%.

Although Bitcoin and altcoins plunged amid nearly $1 billion in liquidations, ETH and BTC ETFs posted inflows.

Crypto markets tumbled Monday as a massive liquidation sent shockwaves through the market, briefly pushing BTC below $111,000.

With over $100 billion in assets, corporations are increasingly diversifying their treasuries beyond Bitcoin, betting on Ethereum and altcoins.

Publicly listed Bitcoin treasury companies are hitting pause as BTC loses ground, raising early red flags for institutional demand.
