Bitcoin at $80,870 Ahead of Fed Decision as Realized Cap Climbs to $1.088T
- —BTC up 1.5% to $80,870; total market cap up 1.3% to $2.81 trillion
- —Realized cap rose from $1.057T to $1.088T as BTC climbed from $69K to $80K
- —ETH +1.8% to $2,352, XRP +2.2%, DOGE +2.8%, Zcash +7.5%
- —Fed decision due today; pause expected after September's hike
Why it matters: Realized cap is lagging price, so the rebound rests on holders refraining from selling rather than fresh capital; the Fed's tone will set direction into December.
