Market Analysis on August 8, 2025

Today is a good day, '88' = 'getting rich', I wish everyone prosperity in advance, and for those who have already become wealthy, continue to prosper. Today's market conditions are also very fitting, especially the strength of Ethereum, which has broken through 3900 USD, refreshing the highest point in the past 8 months. Although it is still in an important pressure zone and has not truly broken the 4100 pressure, the rise in the past two days after last week's correction seems particularly precious. While BTC has not yet touched 120000 again, the strength of Ethereum is particularly evident. "The strong remain strong", this label has been attached to Bitcoin for two years, perhaps now is the time to attach it to Ethereum.
The direct reason for this wave of increase comes from the latest executive order signed by Trump, which officially opens up the 401k retirement plan to invest in cryptocurrencies and other "alternative assets," including crypto assets. In simple terms, it's the most conventional operation by Americans—opening pension investment options for Bitcoin and Ethereum. This 401k is somewhat different from regular pensions; it belongs to employee supplementary pensions, but it is not small in scale. According to third-party data, the current total size of all pension funds in the United States is $27.7 trillion, while the 401k alone is $8.7 trillion. Pension investments are not unusual in the U.S., but this time the option to invest in cryptocurrencies is exciting, and this crypto-friendly policy package is indeed substantial. Based on the current scale, I have listed the potential purchasing power, which is also the reason for the immediate rise in the crypto market.
