Live updates: Bitcoin holds $79,000 as hike odds climb, zcash runs 45% in a week
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Bitcoin maintained a price level around $79,000 as expectations for a September rate hike increased following stronger-than-expected August payroll data. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency Zcash experienced a 45 percent increase in value over the course of a week. Despite a sell-off in equities triggered by the robust employment report, the digital asset market demonstrated resilience.
WHY IT MATTERS
The resilience of cryptocurrency prices in the face of rising interest rate hike odds and declining equity markets highlights a shifting correlation between traditional stocks and digital assets.
August payrolls came in three times above forecast and pushed September hike odds toward 58%. Equities sold it and crypto has not.
