OKB Skyrockets 102% in a Day—Is This the Crypto to Watch in August 2025?

Talk about a moonshot—OKB just ripped past every other altcoin with a jaw-dropping 102% surge in 24 hours. Traders are scrambling, FOMO is pumping, and the usual suspects are already calling it "the next BNB." But let’s cut through the hype.

However, there is also a very high chance that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month. The anticipation of a rate cut may lead to investors holding on to their positions, if not buying more.
