Chainlink Surges as Crypto Market Stays Flat

The crypto market was relatively flat in late August, with the total value of all cryptocurrencies sitting at $2.252 trillion on August 18, 2026, down just 0.11 percent on the day.

Despite this stability, there were still some notable movers among the top names. Chainlink led the way, rising 13.7 percent to a market cap of $7.07 billion and trading at $9.44 per coin.

Monero also had a strong week, adding 5.0 percent to reach $408.00 per token, while Kaspa posted a gain of 3.8 percent on the day to trade at $0.02602.

Bullski, however, is a name that stands out due to its unique presale structure. The token sale has already reached stage two, with prices starting at $0.000015 per token and a total supply of 120 billion tokens.
