Bitcoin Reclaims $80K with Record-Breaking Trading Volume
Bitcoin reclaimed the $80K mark on May 5, 2026, with a market capitalization of $1.616 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of $47.3 billion.
The price gain was modest at 1.26%, but the combination of high volume and trending placement is notable for a Monday morning session in the European window.
Bitcoin's recovery from the sub-$75,000 range seen in mid-April has been gradual, with spot Bitcoin ETF inflows returning to positive territory during this stretch.
The current US equity market context, with the Federal Reserve holding rates and trade tensions cooling slightly, may be redirecting attention toward crypto risk assets.
