Bitcoin climbed back above $80,000 Thursday as crypto traders turn their attention to Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's closely watched Jackson Hole speech.
The cryptocurrency was trading above $80,000 on Thursday at 2:16 p.m. ET after a sharp advance over the past 10 days. The rally followed steps by the Treasury Department to ease pressure on longer-term government bonds, while investors are now waiting to see whether Warsh takes a tougher stance on inflation when he speaks on Friday.
