Aug 26 — Bitcoin's August surge, ETF records and Iran sanctions

• Bitcoin topped $81,000 Tuesday, capping a 28% August gain — its largest monthly advance since November 2024, driven by a short squeeze and collapsing futures open interest. • Spot BTC ETFs pulled in $1.92B for the week ending August 21, the biggest weekly inflow of 2026 — signaling accelerating institutional demand underpinning the rally. • The US Treasury added digital assets to Iran's secondary sanctions list alongside gold and tech — expanding enforcement reach and raising compliance risk across the industry.
