Bitcoin Price 10/08/2025: BTC Struggles to Hold $115 Amid Geopolitical Pressure
- Bitcoin today falls back to $115 after political meeting
- Altcoins like OKB and MNT rise double digits
- BTC dominance remains at 58% of the cryptocurrency market
Bitcoin's price is currently trading at $115.223, with no gains for the day. BTC faced a new decline on Monday (19), reflecting the instability caused by the meeting between current US President Donald Trump and European leaders regarding the conflict in Ukraine. The market's leading cryptocurrency fell to $114.600, its lowest level in 11 days.
BTC had reached a new all-time high on Thursday, briefly surpassing $124.000. However, Producer Price Index (PPI) data released on Friday impacted market sentiment, triggering a correction to $118.000. Since then, the asset has struggled to maintain levels above $115.000, with a cumulative weekly decline of approximately 3%.
Despite Trump's promise of security guarantees to Ukraine, Bitcoin failed to sustain a short-term recovery. Its market value remains around $2,23 trillion, with a dominance of approximately 58% over other cryptocurrencies, according to data from CoinGecko.
In the altcoin world, the day saw some relief. Ethereum remained above $4.250, while XRP held the $3,00 line. Solana (SOL), BNB, Cardano (ADA), Tron (TRX), Stellar (XLM), and SUI posted modest gains.
OKB and MNT stood out, posting the biggest gains among major assets. The MNT token appreciated 13%, trading above $1,35. OKB surpassed $130 with similar performance, demonstrating strength amid the widespread market correction.
The total cryptocurrency market cap rose $30 billion in the last 24 hours, reaching $3,97 trillion. Even with Bitcoin's pullback, altcoin activity indicates resilience amid global political tension.
