Bitcoin (BTC) was quoted above 80,000 against Tether (USDT) in a Wednesday Bitget snapshot, while a later reading gave a separate dollar price, distinguishing an intraday quote from a daily close.
As of 2:40 a.m. ET Thursday (07:40 UTC), CoinGecko and exchange spot data showed BTC at $80,388, up 2.97% over 24 hours. The specific exchange venue behind the spot data was unverified.
The Wednesday 6:04 p.m. ET (23:04 UTC) BTC/USDT reading on Bitget was 80,057.80, or 57.80 USDT above the 80,000 mark. Its daily change was 3.36%.
The two figures are separate snapshots: Bitget's quote was denominated in USDT, while the later reading was in dollars and included a 24-hour change. Neither figure represents a daily closing price. EconoTimes previously covered Bitcoin's 33-day run of daily closes above $80,000, a tally based on end-of-day prices rather than intraday quotes.
