Bitcoin has reached below $78,000, with losses driven by a security scare at Binance. The exchange froze $3.5 billion of assets, creating concerns of a suspected hack. Reports from Yahoo Finance Australia and AFR highlighted the drop in Bitcoin prices. The strict Federal Reserve and hotter inflation data also impacted the market, keeping Bitcoin unchanged at $80,000. CNBC and Reuters stated the decline, while Investing.com noted the hawkish Fed and inflation data.
