Bitcoin has exceeded $80,000 for the first time since mid-May

The rate of bitcoin rose by 6.3% to the close of the previous day and exceeded $ 80 thousand. This follows from the trading data on the Binance exchange. As of 19:36 GMT, the value of bitcoin reached $81,080 (+6.19%). This figure was last recorded on May 15.

In the week from 7 to 14 September, the price of bitcoin fell by more than 2%, responding to data on inflation in the United States and a sharp rise in the price of oil. In August, the consumer price index in the United States rose 0.4% after July 0.1%, which was the maximum monthly gain in the last three months. Since the beginning of the year, Brent crude oil has risen by more than 60% due to the conflict in the Middle East.
