Bitcoin news for September 24, 2026
Bitcoin slipped below $85,000 toward the $82,600-$84,000 area as 5% Treasury yields and rising bets on Fed rate hikes weighed on risk assets and cooled a recent breakout, with wider crypto declines including XRP, Worldcoin and Pepe. At the same time, headlines point to about $1 billion in inflows over the last four days linked to BlackRock. Attention is also on a $16 billion options expiry on Friday and two additional tests described as facing the rally.
