    Bitcoin Drops to $78,475 as Market Implied Fed Hike Probabilities Top 60%

    Question

    Bitcoin Drops to $78,475 as Market Implied Fed Hike Probabilities Top 60%

    Direct answer

    Macro expectations shifted defensively on September 8 as implied probabilities of a Federal Reserve rate hike crossed 60%. The repricing triggered broad pressure across speculative assets, dragging Bitcoin down 0.9% to $78,475. The digital asset ecosystem faced localized headwinds from a Liquid Network security exploit. Ethereum outperformed with a marginal 0.1% decline, insulated by institutional inflows and the Ethereum Foundation's quantum readiness roadmap.
