  "account": "Bitcoin closed on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at US$79,027, up 0.59%, recovering from a brief drop following a hotter-than-anticipated US inflation figure. Ethereum reached US$2,506, a 2.58% increase, while Solana led the session with a 5.76% surge to US$102.17. XRP was the only major coin to decline, dropping 0.76% to US$1.4224. The market's movements came as traders exited leveraged positions following a week where Bitcoin briefly surpassed the US$80,000 mark before reversing. In Latin America, the session was less focused on Bitcoin's price and more on the rise of stablecoins, with 98% of crypto purchases in Brazil and over 70% of purchases on Bitso in Argentina being stablecoins. The day's key takeaway was that Bitcoin's rally appeared fragile, but the trend of stablecoin dominance in the region persisted.",
