Bitcoin spearheaded the rally, reclaiming the $65,000 threshold for the first time in August and lifting its total market cap back past $1.3 trillion.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"bitcoin market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Market data shows bitcoin gained over 3% over seven days, ascending from $62,721 to a peak just above $65,300 on Friday before consolidating above key support. Crucially, bitcoin secured these gains despite regulatory headwinds following the U.S. Senate\u2019s failure to pass the CLARITY Act.<\/p>\n<p>While bitcoin anchored the broader market, Cardano (ADA) emerged as the week\u2019s standout performer, logging double-digit gains for the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/btc-plunge-triggers-altcoin-sell-off-as-ada-bucks-the-trend\/\">second consecutive week<\/a>. ADA rallied from $0.174 to hit $0.211 on Aug. 6\u2014a high not seen since June 4\u2014fueled by news of a strategic integration between Cardano and the Injective protocol. Despite this short-term breakout, ADA remains down nearly 30% over a 90-day horizon.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/cardano\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"cardano market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/zec-just-surged-past-490-here-is-whats-driving-the-rally\/\">Privacy-focused assets also caught a bid<\/a>, with ZEC and XMR jumping 8% and 7%, respectively. Large-cap altcoins mirrored the positive sentiment: BNB rose 5% to reclaim the psychological $600 level, matched by gains in SOL and HYPE. Gold-backed tokens PAXG and XAUT advanced over 7% in tandem with spot gold, which rallied from $4,233 per ounce to a Friday high of $4,364.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, select major altcoins lagged behind the broader market expansion. XRP slid below $1.02 on Aug. 7, finishing down 1.5% and standing as the sole top-10 digital asset to post weekly losses. Stellar (XLM) also retreated 3.3%, while steeper corrections hit CC (-20%), (CRO (-9%), SHIB (-8.8%), and ONDO (-8%).<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, confirmation that the CLARITY Act vote has been delayed removes a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/regulation-and-legal\/saylor-says-bitcoin-doesnt-need-clarity-as-senate-delays-vote\/\">major macroeconomic catalyst<\/a> that market participants had counted on to spark a sustained bitcoin rally in the second half of 2026. With federal legislative momentum temporarily stalled, short-term price action will likely be driven by sector-specific narratives and native crypto catalysts, at least until Sept. 15, when the Senate is expected to bring the bill back to the floor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\"><a aria-label=\"Read Now: Bitcoin Tops $65,340 as BIP 110 Fight Raises Hard Fork Risk\" class=\"block
