Bitcoin fell $799 from yesterday's $80,085 to $79,286, a 1% move on muted volume.A quiet day. Price drifted inside its 30-day range, ETF flows are within normal bounds, and no institutional move or macro event cleared the bar for a risk-change classification. The Liquid sidechain hack is substantially resolved and carries no base-layer implication.
Price consolidated in the $79,000 range, 89% of the way up the 30-day range, with no directional catalyst on the day.
Spot bitcoin ETFs drew $987 million in net inflows last week and $3.52 billion in August, the strongest monthly total since September 2025, signaling sustained institutional engagement despite range-bound price.
On-chain data shows all wallet cohorts shifted into net distribution for the first time since early June, a divergence from the positive ETF flow picture worth monitoring.
The Liquid Network sidechain exploit is largely contained: 3,400 of the 4,000 stolen BTC were returned after Blockstream patched the vulnerability, with roughly 598.5 BTC remaining outstanding.
Bitcoin's hashrate at 927 EH/s and fees at 1 to 2 sat/vB reflect a healthy, low-congestion network; the structural foundation remains intact regardless of near-term price action.
