Bitcoin Surges Past $80,000 on Dovish Fed Stance

The price of Bitcoin surpassed $80,000 on September 3rd after statements from Federal Reserve Board member Christopher Waller indicated that he would support keeping interest rates at their current level at the upcoming meeting. The Fed's next regulator meeting is scheduled for September 15-16, 2026.

Waller left room for maneuver, stating that the final decision will depend on August inflation statistics. Market participants were watching not only the price dynamics but also how they relate to expectations for US monetary policy.
