EconomyBitcoin tops US$80,000 for first time since May as US moves boost crypto

Bitcoin has risen above US$80,000 for the first time in three months, reaching more than US$80,900 on Tuesday. The cryptocurrency gained about 25 per cent in a week amid a broader rally in alternative assets linked to Washington’s efforts to reduce US bond yields, though it remains nearly 36 per cent below its October record of US$126,000.
