Fact Check
The PANews article (panewslab.com) is a direct, verbatim match to the claim: it cites OKX market data on May 8, 2026 showing BTC at exactly $80,010.00 with a +0.14% intraday gain. The Odaily article corroborates the OKX data source and the upward price movement, showing BTC continued to $81,000 the following day. TradingNews independently references $80,010 as a price point and confirms BTC broke $80,000 for the first time since January 2026 around this date. All three sources are mutually consistent and none contradict the claim. The only minor uncertainty is that OKX's own official channels did not surface a direct post, but the claim is well-supported by multiple credible crypto news outlets citing OKX data.
