US consumer prices rose more than expected in April, sending stocks lower and pushing bitcoin briefly under the key $80,000 level before a modest recovery. The data reinforced bets that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady.
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries climbed to a new high of 15.35 billion dollars in value locked on May 13. Bitcoin held above 80,000 dollars but showed limited upside as traders weighed rising odds of a Federal Reserve rate increase. The shift comes ahead of key inflation data and political meetings.
