Fact Check
The Odaily newsflash at https://www.odaily.news/zh-CN/newsflash/479143 directly and precisely confirms every element of the claim: Bitcoin broke above 78,000 USDT, was trading at 78,010.9 USDT, and the 24-hour gain was exactly 2.18%, all sourced from OKX market data on 2026-05-01. The X post by @0xzxcom independently echoes the same figures ($78,011, +2.18%) at nearly the same time. The PANews article showing an earlier $77,000 crossing is consistent with the narrative of Bitcoin moving upward through round-number levels during the same day. No conflicting evidence was found.
