According to CoinMeta, on August 6, 2026, as negotiations regarding the Strait of Hormuz continued, Bitcoin opened at $64,602.32, up 0.9% from Wednesday, but by 9:40 a.m., the price had fallen to $64,216.91. Ethereum opened at $1,906.96, up 2.1% from Wednesday, but its price also slightly declined to $1,901.84. Both prices reached their highest levels at the start of the week and showed positive monthly growth. Against the backdrop of progressing negotiations, investors are gradually shifting towards riskier investments. The poor performance of the employment report also contributed to higher prices and reduced the likelihood of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates next month.
