Bitcoin surged past $80,000 on Thursday, liquidating over $415 million in short positions, after Federal Reserve Governor Waller hinted at a pause in interest rate hikes.
Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated in an interview on Thursday that he would be inclined to support maintaining the benchmark interest rate at its current level if upcoming inflation data continues to show improvement.
