Bitcoin slides to $81,000 after hot US inflation print

Original: Bitcoin falls to $81k as hot U.S. CPI spurs rate hike bets

Tighter monetary policy typically weighs on risk assets, and cryptocurrencies sold off alongside equities as traders repriced their rate outlooks.

Why now: A hotter-than-expected US inflation report revived rate hike bets, pressuring risk assets including bitcoin.
