The crypto market shot in all directions this week. Bitcoin tapped a new peak around a hundred and twenty-four thousand dollars on some exchanges, then quickly lost ground as higher producer prices in the United States fueled fears of stubborn inflation.

In between those shocks, OKX stole the show among altcoins with a large-scale burn of OKB and a locked-in maximum stock, permanently tightening supply and pushing the price up more than a hundred and fifty percent in a short time.
Ether benefited from continued interest from professional investors. Exchange funds holding the currency directly booked billions in net inflows in August, lifting the price to new year highs before the same macro picture took the momentum out of the market. Cardano also crept into the spotlight.
