Bitcoin breaks above $80,000 as the dollar-debasement trade returns

Bitcoin moved back above the $80,000 mark, turning the market’s attention from short-term recovery to whether a broader risk bid is forming.

Public reports described a gain of roughly a quarter over the week, helped by renewed interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against dollar weakness and fiscal-policy uncertainty.

The rally is strong, but the next test is whether ETF demand and regulatory progress can keep liquidity in the market after the initial squeeze fades.
