Betting markets see 59% chance Bitcoin hits $80K this month amid strong rally

Betting markets on Polymarket now assign a 59% probability that Bitcoin will reach $80,000 before the end of August, up sharply as Bitcoin surged over 21% this month to around $77,000. The rally was sparked by the US Treasury doubling bond buybacks, easing bond market pressure and pushing investors toward scarce assets like Bitcoin. Institutional inflows into Bitcoin ETFs also hit a high, supporting the price rise. Investors are now focused on the Federal Reserve's upcoming Jackson Hole meeting and a US Senate vote on crypto legislation, both of which could influence Bitcoin's trajectory.
