Bitcoin fluctuates below $80,000 as investors focus on the Fed's rate path; gold tokens slightly up, commodities affected by energy costs; multiple institutional developments attract market attention.
Today the crypto market is under overall pressure, with Bitcoin failing to break through the $80,000 level and major coins generally falling. Market sentiment is influenced by expectations of the Fed's rate path, with investors awaiting the upcoming CPI and PPI data and the rate decision on September 16. Meanwhile, gold token prices edged up, reflecting concerns about inflation and slowing economic growth. On the macro front, the UK financial regulator's consideration of easing the prediction market ban and traditional banks completing blockchain cross-border payments both indicate continued innovation and regulatory evolution in the financial sector.
Bitcoin fell 1.54% to $79,112.02, Ethereum fell 0.99% to $2,490.01, Solana fell 2.43% to $103.87, BNB fell 1.75% to $739.98, and XRP fell 1.9% to $1.3965. Market fund flows show investors adjusting expectations of the Fed's rate cut path rather than exiting the market. The Ethereum Foundation announced that the Hegotá upgrade will include FOCIL and Frame Transactions, aimed at enhancing the network's censorship resistance and allowing users to pay Gas fees without holding ETH, which may improve Ethereum's usability. Additionally, Hunter Biden plans to launch the LAPTOP memecoin and airdrop to TRUMP holders; such politically-related tokens may increase market volatility.
Gold token XAUT edged up 0.05% to $4,419.98, while PAXG edged down 0.05% to $4,419.93, showing relatively stable performance. Market focus is on persistently high inflation and rising energy costs, which may trigger stagflation risks, thereby supporting gold's safe-haven demand. However, rising U.S. Treasury yields may pressure gold prices. Investors will closely watch upcoming U.S. inflation data to gauge the Fed's next policy actions.
