Bitcoin news for September 28, 2026
Bitcoin has fallen to around $82,780 alongside a sharp selloff in gold and silver that removed about $550B in value in hours, with coverage also linking the move to renewed Iran risks after Trump rejected a ceasefire offer. The decline follows a 44% recovery from its June low and a 44% gain for the quarter, with Bitcoin ETFs adding $5.3B after the Treasury buyback plan while altcoins such as BCH, NEAR and QNT recently outpaced Bitcoin.
