On September 17, 2026, the SEC issued a temporary, conditional innovation exemption order allowing limited trading of tokenized regulated stocks on specific on-chain venues. This came after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate, with the SEC using its existing statutory authority to create a transitional regulatory channel for the on-chain circulation of tokenized securities. The exemption involves the boundaries of regulatory power, the reshaping of market structure, and deep tensions

In the early hours of September 17, 2026, Beijing time, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted unanimously, with all 12 votes in favor, to raise the federal funds rate target range by 25 bps to 3.75%–4.00%, marking the FED’s first rate hike since July 2023. The FED had previously kept Interest Rates unchanged for five consecutive meetings, and the unanimous decision marked a clear shift in the direction of monetary policy. Following the rate hike announcement, global financial markets re

SPCX closed at $150.88 on September 16, 2026, rising 5.15% for the day and reclaiming the $150 level. It is approximately 12% above the $135 IPO Issue Price on June 11, but has fallen more than 30% from its intraday high of $225 in July. This price level raises an unavoidable question: Is SPCX's recovery a reflection of real fundamentals, or merely a temporary rebound driven by recovering sentiment? What a Return to $150 Means for the Stock $150 itself is not the key price level. What truly dese

On September 15, 2026, ET, the U.S. Senate held a key procedural vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (the CLARITY Act, H.R. 3633), ultimately failing to reach the 60-vote threshold required to advance consideration of the bill, with 50 votes in favor and 49 opposed. Not a single Democratic senator voted in favor, and defections from a small number of Republican lawmakers created a vote gap sufficient to end this year's legislative window. The vote was not on whether the bill would ultim

At 3:30 a.m. Beijing time on September 17, 2026, Barcelona will face newly promoted Racing Santander at Spotify Camp Nou in La Liga Matchday 6.

Compared with the record high of HK$794 set in May, the cumulative drawdown was nearly 40%. A-shares also weakened, falling more than 6% on September 15 to a new one-year low, while the total marketcap of the A+H shares fell below 1.5 trillion yuan. The puzzling contrast is that the company had just delivered its strongest-ever first-half results. In the first half of 2026, CA

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to around $75,840 on September 16, while cryptocurrency-related stocks weakened, mainly pressured by two negative developments unfolding simultaneously: the failed procedural vote to end debate on the CLARITY Act, which did not clear the 60-vote supermajority threshold required to proceed to formal debate; and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, which began the same day, with strong August CPI data leading most economists to expect a 25-bps rate hike. CLARITY Act

The scenario of the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield breaking above 5% is pushing global risk assets toward a new round of repricing tests. On Sept. 14 U.S. Eastern Time, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose as high as 5.0266% intraday, its highest level since 2007. This key Interest Rate, known as the “anchor of global asset pricing,” broke through on the eve of the FED’s rate-setting meeting, and market focus quickly shifted from “whether the yield will reach 5%” to “what breaking above 5% means.”

On September 11, 2026, SailPoint Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL) surged 15.31% in a single day, closing at $19.88 after reaching an intraday high of $20.26. The stock had already risen approximately 15% over the preceding several weeks but remained in a deep year-to-date correction.

On September 15, Bitcoin (BTC) continued to fluctuate within a range, trading around $77,950.

Iranian state media denied the claim, while LiveSquawk cited the ILNA news agency as saying that the U.S. was seeking a “phased” agreement.
