> Bitcoin stayed near $78,500 on Sept. 8, within its recent $77,200-$82,100 range, as the yen reached its strongest level since February. A stronger yen could pressure yen-funded trades and trigger broader risk reduction, while spot Bitcoin ETF inflows and recent holders’ lower cost basis offer some support.
