Bitcoin reaches $81.5K following US GDP report

Bitcoin price rose sharply to $81.5K following the release of strong US GDP figures. The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates, which impacted the mood in the market. Binance faced a substantial security issue, resulting in a $6.3 billion loss, the biggest ever recorded. This event resulted in a decrease in cryptocurrency values. Bitcoin fell to $78K amid the breach.

“This event resulted in a decrease in cryptocurrency values,” — Owen Marlowe, senior market analyst at Cedarwell Field Services, observed.
