With a tailwind spilling over from the U.S. tech stock rally into the crypto market, Bitcoin topped $80,000.

According to the global crypto market site CoinMarketCap on the 28th, at 8:15 a.m. the price of Bitcoin was $80,171, up 1.87% from 24 hours earlier. Ethereum, the No. 2 by market cap, was up 0.92% at $2,510, and XRP was trading at $1.45, up 3.62%.

The crypto market was seen as being influenced by the New York stock market's higher close. Nvidia beat market expectations ($92.17 billion) as its fiscal year second-quarter (May–July) revenue rose 106% from a year earlier to $96.22 billion (about 133.2 trillion won).
