Bitcoin Surpasses $81,000 Following FED Statements on Interest Rates

The governor of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Christopher Waller, indicated on September 3, 2026, that he is inclined to keep interest rates unchanged at the upcoming monetary policy meeting. The decision will depend on economic data confirming the moderation of inflationary pressures. Waller mentioned that he is willing to support maintaining the official interest rate if progress is made towards the 2% inflation target. Following his statements, the price of bitcoin (BTC) quickly rose, surpassing $81,000. Low interest rates in the U.S. typically favor bitcoin by lowering borrowing costs and increasing liquidity. Currently, the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate is in a range of 3.50% to 3.75%. The next FED meeting will be on September 15 and 16, 2026.
