Bitcoin Surpasses $89,000 as Ether Nears $3,000 Milestone

The evidence from multiple high-authority sources strongly supports the statement. The first part of the claim, that Bitcoin's price surpassed $89,000, is directly substantiated by a news article from The Block. The article reports on Bitcoin extending its losses to fall *below* $89,000, which logically requires the price to have been at or above that level previously. This is further corroborated by a Facebook post from CBS News which discusses a recent peak in Bitcoin's price. The second part of the claim, regarding Ether's price approaching $3,000 at the same time, is supported by that same CBS News post. Its summary explicitly mentions an "accompanying plot showing price trends for both Bitcoin and Ethereum," directly linking the price movements of the two assets during the relevant time frame. While some sources are irrelevant (e.g., those discussing Bitcoin Cash or Coinbase stock) and others provide prices that are close but not at the peak (such as a price analysis showing Bitcoin at ~$86,495, likely after the peak), there are no direct contradictions in the provided evidence. The confluence of evidence from credible financial and crypto-focused news outlets makes the statement highly likely to be true.
