CFTC has opened a door for “passive software”—don’t mistake “the wallet can connect to perpetuals” for blanket approval.
On September 17, the CFTC issued Staff Letter 26-25.
It expanded the no-action letter granted only to Phantom in March to eligible passive software providers.
Simply put: you provide a “pipe” that displays market data and routes orders to registered FCMs/DCMs.
If you don’t custody assets, provide trading signals, or decide routing yourself, you may not need to register as an IB.
My view: this is a statement that “software ≠ intermediary,” which is better than empty talk abou

#USHouseAdvancesBitcoinReserveBill
I think this is one of those Bitcoin stories where the headline is important, but the details are even more important.
On September 16, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee voted 28–21 to advance the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026, H.R. 8957. The bill would move the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve from an executive-branch policy toward an actual statutory framework if it eventually passes the full legislative process. This is not yet a law and it does not mean the U.S. government is about to start buying billions of dollars of Bitcoin. The

I didn’t make any particular judgment; I just held on a little longer and didn’t expect it to cooperate so well. When I checked the chart after lunch, $PTB was stagnating at a high level, with no volume behind each push higher and clearly insufficient buying support.
I only said one thing: Don’t chase longs; sell orders overhead are substantial, so short positions can wait for confirmation. It then started moving downward, with the timing spot on.
From 0.0008905 to 0.0006481, floating profit +667.5%; those in the trade should have woken up laughing.

The most unusual detail in today's market is not the gainers list itself, but that after $AVA
surged 35.55% in 24h, its funding rate was still deeply negative at -0.3778%. This means that while the price is rising sharply, shorts in perpetual contracts are still continuously paying fees, and the long-short battle is far from cleared—this is usually not the end of the move, but an intermediate signal of a short squeeze.
A horizontal comparison with $ONE (+45.73%) and $PEPE (+6.41%) in the same sector makes the relative strength clearer. Although $ONE has gained more sharply, its amplitude ove

Gold Midday Session | After Breaking Below 4350, First Watch Whether 4334 Can Hold
After gold broke below 4350 in the morning, it quickly moved lower, reaching a low near 4334. It is currently still consolidating weakly.
Focus on three levels this afternoon:
🔴 4350—4356: Rebound resistance
🔵 4334: Short-term key level
🟢 4323—4300: Key support below
Maintain a bearish bias before 4350 is reclaimed;
If 4334 breaks, watch 4323 next;
Only consider opportunities at lower levels after 4323—4300 stabilizes.
Do not chase in the middle; wait for the price to reach key levels.

Thinking back to when I used to be busy, I ate irregularly, lived on takeout and junk food, never controlled my calorie intake, and stayed up late every night, sleeping only 4–5 hours a day. My body fat was too high, and I also developed fatty liver. I made money, but my health fell apart too.
Now that I think about it, only when you are healthy can you have more energy to work and make profits.
Besides daily fitness and exercise, our physique, body shape, complexion, and mental state are actually all determined by every bite of food we eat.

#BOJHikesTo1.25%31YearHigh 🇯🇵 #BOJHikesTo1.25%31YearHigh — Japan Just Delivered a Major Macro Signal
The Bank of Japan has raised its policy interest rate to 1.25%, taking borrowing costs to a level not seen in around three decades. This is more than just a Japan-specific economic headline—it is an important development for global financial markets because the BOJ has historically operated with exceptionally low interest rates, making every step toward tighter monetary policy closely watched by investors around the world.

September 18 Bitcoin trade setup
$BTC Current price: 76609. After a short-term pullback, a bullish candle formed, and the price held above the short-term white moving average; the purple moving average below provides strong support. The previous low of 75975 was the bottom of this pullback, short momentum has weakened somewhat, and the secondary indicators have also shown signs of stabilization and recovery, so the short-term outlook is bullish.
Entry zone: Gradually enter long positions within the 76400 - 76500 range (watch for a pullback that holds)
Stop-loss defense: 75950; exit directly if

9.18 Solana morning strategy
Long at 101.80-102.30
Stop loss: 101.00
First target: 103.00
Second target: 103.80
The current price is consolidating through a range at elevated levels. The latest candlestick has a clear upper shadow, reflecting profit-taking pressure above. The core idea for going long is to wait for confirmation after the selling pressure has been absorbed, rather than blindly entering midway through the consolidation. #Gate股票永续合约覆盖数量行业第一 $SOL

Good morning, everyone!
Recently, BTC formed a bottom around 74900-75000 and then moved into a standard ascending channel structure. The price is now facing an extremely critical test: the resistance zone at 76800-77200. The closer we get to such a decisive level, the more important it is to remain calm. The MACD below has already formed a golden cross, and the short-term bullish trend is developing well, with funds continuing to enter. However, selling pressure in the dense supply zone above cannot be underestimated. Every rebound to this area has been knocked back down, so the major players
