Bitcoin's best week since 2023 takes it past $79,000, and the argument is over why

  • Bitcoin reached $79,241 on Friday, up 24% in seven days and on course for its best week since 2023.
  • Spot ETFs took in $606 million in a single session and August inflows have already passed the previous monthly high for the year.
  • What analysts cannot agree on is whether the driver is US crypto legislation or the Treasury's intervention in the bond market.
