Bitcoin price surges to $81.5K after US GDP data

Bitcoin price rose sharply to $81.5K following the release of strong US GDP figures. The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates, which impacted the mood in the market. Binance experienced a major breach, resulting in a $6.3 billion loss, the most significant yet. This event resulted in a decrease in cryptocurrency values. Bitcoin fell to $78K amid the breach.
