Crypto News - CFTC Shock Sends Bitcoin Back Above $80,000 Two Days After Fed Hike

“The industry doesn’t need Congress,” Dan Morehead, founder and managing partner of Pantera Capital, said on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Friday morning, with bitcoin trading just under $78,000. By the time Wall Street opened it was above $80,000 for the first time since Sept. 7, up 5% on the day and 7% from the low it printed on Tuesday night after the Senate refused to advance the Clarity Act.
