Bitcoin is holding above $80,000 as the Jackson Hole symposium begins with an agenda that puts crypto-related issues unusually close to the center of attention. According to Decrypt, the Federal Reserve gathering is focused on payments and financial infrastructure—areas that overlap directly with cryptocurrency markets. The event marks the first time in 40 years that the symposium has been built around those themes, giving traders a closely watched policy backdrop as Bitcoin approaches a major resistance area. The agenda places the digital asset market alongside broader discussions about how financial systems operate and evolve. With BTC above the $80,000 threshold, market participants are monitoring whether the symposium’s focus on payments and infrastructure will influence the market’s near-term direction.
