Bitcoin tonight is set to push toward $80,000, touched as high as $81,000 intraday, with a monthly gain of over 25%—the strongest August since 2017. The main driver behind this move is institutions: last week, spot BTC ETF net inflows totaled $1.9 billion; meanwhile, S. [redacted] Bessent raised the cap on U.S. Treasury buybacks from $2.0 billion to $4.0 billion, keeping long-end yields pinned down while the U.S. dollar turns lower. Bitcoin has been pulled up from the $58,500 low on June 30 all the way, and this week alone it rebounded more than 28% from the lows. CoinMarketCap quoted it at $80,400 this morning, up 4.6% over the past 24 hours.
