Why was Bitcoin up on Sep 4, 2026, 10:55 AM UTC?
$81,038
▲ +4.36% (24h) · -0.07% (1h)
Bitcoin's 4.36% 24h gain appears driven primarily by fading rate hike expectations (which typically support risk assets), combined with strong institutional inflows ($731M into ETFs—their biggest day since January). The privacy coin rally and El Salvador/tokenization news seem tangential to the main price move rather than causal factors.
