Bitcoin prices surged on Friday, climbing 7.9% to around $77,137 after touching an intraday high of $79,320.

The rally triggered a short squeeze, with $1.2 billion in shorts liquidated across 178,777 traders over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data.

The surge follows a week of bullish Washington sentiment, including Trump's backing of the Clarity Act and signals that regulators are working to bring Hyperliquid onshore.
