Bitcoin surges past $80,000 amid strong US ETF inflows and positive crypto regulatory momentum.

Bitcoin's price jumped over 2.7% in a few hours, surpassing $80,000 for the first time since January 2026, driven by strong net inflows into US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs and positive regulatory developments in Washington. The crypto rally coincided with gains in Asian stocks and other major cryptocurrencies like BNB, Ether, and XRP. Institutional demand remains high, with nearly $630 million flowing into Bitcoin ETFs recently, suggesting optimism about Bitcoin's potential to reach $100,000. The momentum is supported by a likely Senate markup on stablecoin yield rules under the CLARITY Act, signaling growing regulatory clarity for the crypto sector.
