August 2025 recap - ETH on a roll
Again a month has passed. Let me show you how my portfolio did.
Market update
Another interesting month in the markets. This time, it was Ethereum that reached highs (mid-month). The total market cap of cryptocurrencies went up from 3.74 tn to 3.81 tn. Bitcoin dominance went down from 61.1% to 57.7%.
Looking at the prices of the individual currencies, Bitcoin went down from $115,100 to $110,400 this month. The price of Ethereum went up from $3,630 to $4,400.
Current Portfolio
I didn't do any buying or selling this month. My overall portfolio value is about €1,500 higher than one month ago. My portfolio shifted towards ETH. My personal BTC "dominance" is down from 21.8% to 19.7%.
In total I have invested €2,600 in Ethereum and Bitcoin, so I'm at a €32,900 overall profit. €14,600 of that profit is realised e.g. cashed out. Quite happy with that!
I managed to steadily increase my Hive Power holdings from 13,554 to 13,764 HP. The highest amount ever!
Have we seen the peak of this cycle? Or will we see even more (all time) highs going forward? We'll find out in the coming recaps.

Turning €2.6k into a €32.9k profit with €14.6k already banked is the kind of math I like. You did nothing and the portfolio got better, love when that happens. Are you thinking of rebalancing if ETH keeps pulling ahead, or just letting it ride?
Yeah, planning to sell some if the price increases further.
Sounds good. Do you have target levels and a plan on how much to trim, maybe laddered limit orders? A small rebalance can lock gains while keeping your ETH ride alive. Also double check fees and taxes so the exit doesn’t bite.
I've got one on €4,250, a level that we almost reached recently. Furthermore, I'm flexible and use trades with as little fees as possible. I'm already paying enough taxes ;)
That €4,250 tease was close. Keeping fees tiny is the way. You could split the take profit into a few bites around that zone to catch a wick and ease slippage. If taxes already sting, spacing sales across periods or pairing with small losses can soften the bill, depending on your rules, and with ETH flexing you might get a clean fill soon.
