Bitcoin Sinks to $80,500 After a Rising U.S. Inflation Print and a Kospi Circuit Breaker

Bitcoin fell to about $80,500 on Thursday after September CPI came in at 3.7%, a hotter-than-expected inflation print. South Korea's Kospi closed 7.6% lower after a 20-minute trading halt. The moves hit risk assets broadly, with crypto leading the decline as traders priced in a slower path for rate cuts.
