Why Is Bitcoin Down Today? BTC Slips Below $80,000 as Hot Inflation, Yields and ETF Wobbles Hit Crypto
Bitcoin slipped under the $80,000 line on Friday, erasing most of its short-lived regulatory-policy surge. Investors faced stiffer inflation data, climbing bond yields, and uneven demand for exchange-traded funds, all weighing on crypto risk. The top digital coin last changed hands at $79,202, off roughly 0.9%, after a session range from $78,686 up to $81,974.
