Overview
Crypto assets rallied broadly as Bitcoin moved above $81,000 and privacy coins outperformed. Zcash briefly crossed $1,000, while leveraged short positions were forced out. The move was linked in the coverage to changing expectations for a September Federal Reserve rate increase, though a stronger-than-expected jobs report later reversed part of the rally.
