Inflation Data Fails to Dent Bitcoin Price as Interest Rate Hike Looms

Bitcoin's price surged on Friday despite inflation data showing U.S. consumer prices rose in August, exceeding expectations.

The cryptocurrency jumped 2% over a 24-hour period to reach nearly $79,000, its highest point of the day at $79,607 in New York.

The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates next week after the data was released, which could curb Bitcoin's price growth. However, low-interest rate environments tend to benefit Bitcoin as they increase liquidity and make it cheaper for people to buy cryptocurrency.
