Why Bitcoin Is Surging Above $80K
Episode notes
Bitcoin has reclaimed $80,000 after the CLARITY Act failed and the Federal Reserve raised rates. The rally reflects expected bad news failing to break support, fresh SEC and CFTC relief, $159.5 million returning to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds and approximately $232 million of Bitcoin shorts being liquidated.
Also covered: North Korea-linked WaterPlum stealing more than 7,000 cryptocurrency-wallet records, reported European Central Bank intervention in Binance’s Greek MiCA application, Solana cutting target slot time to 250 milliseconds, and Hong Kong planning 24/7 wholesale CBDC settlement.
Listener question: Would you buy a rally driven partly by bad news failing to hurt Bitcoin, or wait for 2 or 3 more positive exchange-traded-fund flow days?
