Crypto Market Surges on Waller's Comments, Bitcoin Hits $82,300

The cryptocurrency market posted gains on September 3, 2026, with Bitcoin briefly reaching $82,300 and Ethereum touching $2,529.

Bitcoin's price surge was short-lived, however, as it pulled back below the $82,000 mark, while Ethereum is attempting to consolidate above the $2,500 zone.

The broader market saw most major crypto assets post gains, with some positions increasing by over 10% in a sign of the positive trend's broad-based nature.
