    Bitcoin Slips to $78,475 as Fed Rate Hike Probability Surpasses 60%

    Question

    Bitcoin Slips to $78,475 as Fed Rate Hike Probability Surpasses 60%

    Direct answer

    Bitcoin traded lower by 0.9% to $78,475 on September 8, 2026, as interest rate futures priced implied Federal Reserve rate hike odds above the 60% mark. Higher nominal rate expectations continue to weigh on non-yielding high-beta asset classes. Ethereum demonstrated relative resilience, dropping 0.1% alongside support from corporate treasury buying and the Ethereum Foundation's quantum readiness disclosure, while Solana declined 0.6% as broader risk sentiment digested a security exploit on the Liquid Network.
