  "account": "On Friday, August 14, 2026, Bitcoin opened at $63,418.16, unchanged from Thursday's opening. By 8:14 a.m. ET, it had slipped to $62,721.51. Ethereum began the day at $1,884.42, also 0.3% higher than Thursday's open. However, it too fell to $1,872.97. Despite softer inflation data, crypto prices are not responding as favorably as precious metals like gold and silver. Factors limiting crypto growth include persistent inflation concerns. The all-time high for Bitcoin was $126,198.07 in October 2025, while its low was $0.04865 in July 2010. Ethereum's peak was $4,953.73 on August 24, 2025, with its lowest point at $0.4209 in October 2015. The US housing system may soon embrace cryptocurrency as collateral for mortgages, potentially transforming how crypto is utilized for major purchases.",
