CEX competition is no longer just about “who’s bigger”
If exchanges are compared to runners in a race, trading volume rankings represent their current positions, while growth rates show how fast they have actually been running recently. #Gate广场中秋团圆局 + ​#Gate广场中秋团圆局
CryptoQuant data shows that Gate ranks among the global Top 3 in spot trading volume, with spot trading volume growing 667% over 30 days, ranking first globally; meanwhile, its contract trading volume growth ranks among the global Top 3
This data at least points to one phenomenon: Gate’s market activity has changed noticeably recen

Why the CLARITY Act Failed at 49-50 The 60-Vote Hurdle and What It Really Means for Crypto
The vote everyone on Gate Square was waiting for just happened. At 02 15 UTC+8 on Sept 16, the US Senate held the key procedural vote (cloture) on the CLARITY Act and it failed to advance.
Official result 49 Yes - 50 No. It needed 60 votes. This confirms what Kalshi prediction market was pricing - the probability of passage this year had fallen to 25%.
Why was this bill so important and why did it fail? Let's go beyond the headlines.
1. What Would the CLARITY Act Actually Do?
Known as H R 3633, the Digit

Sorry, we failed.
As expected, the CLARITY Act failed to pass, with the final vote ending in a 50 VS 50 tie.
Simply put, the bill would classify cryptocurrencies, determine which fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction and which under the CFTC’s, and establish the rules exchanges must follow to register.
After being dragged out for more than a year, it’s starting to feel a bit like the ETF saga back then.
Promise me: after today’s drop, it can’t drop again tomorrow when the FOMC raises interest rates. 🥹

#金价逼近4400美元创七周高点
GOLD IS TESTING A LEVEL THAT COULD DEFINE THE NEXT MOVE
Gold is once again approaching the $4,400 area after a highly volatile period, with spot gold recently reaching around $4,443 before pulling back toward $4,290 and recovering.
For me, this is no longer just a simple safe-haven story. Gold is sitting at the intersection of several powerful macro forces: Federal Reserve policy, Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar, oil prices, inflation expectations and geopolitical uncertainty.
The big question now is not simply whether gold can touch $4,400.
The real question is whether buye

The markets are dumping so you can find a new position to buy, it's in your favor

Some trades are just like this: the more you watch them, the less they move; the moment you turn away, they take off. When I checked the chart after lunch, $PRL had strong sell-side pressure, low trading volume, and heavy resistance overhead. Seeing that buying support was weak, I suggested waiting for a rebound to reassess the short position—don't chase.

From 0.33936 to 0.10621, the short position gained +1352.75%—an absolute feast. It feels so good; the earlier sluggish move finally paid off beautifully. Take 80% off the table first, protect the remaining 20% at the entry price, and let p

BTC overnight short at 76,800 caught the first wave; after breaking below 75,500, the position was rolled over, and a short at 76,000 caught the second wave
ETH overnight long at 2,370 is in profit
SOL overnight short at 100.3 is in profit; SOL long at 96.5, take profit at 98.5—precise take-profit

Solana apps booked almost $8 million in a single day.
September 11 came in at $7.94 million on Blockworks. That is the strongest daily print since October 2025, and it follows a $5.09 million session the day before. The tape did not drift higher. It jumped.
The stack inside that bar also changed. stonkfun led with $2.48 million. $PUMP followed at $1.10 million. fomo and Axiom each cleared about $627k. Collector Crypt and Meteora sat near $500k. Jupiter, the large DEX name, was further back at $381k.
So the revenue is still coming from launchpads and trading tools. It is not coming from lending

CLARITY Act Stalls — Uncertainty Stays
The U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, falling short of the 60 votes required.
BTC, ETH, SOL and $XRP came under pressure as markets reacted to the setback.
The bigger signal: stablecoin rules now have a federal framework, but broader crypto market structure remains unresolved.
Garlinghouse argues crypto can keep building without CLARITY.
Maybe. But institutional capital still needs regulatory visibility.
The bill is stalled.
The demand for clarity isn’t.

Watching the market nonstop got annoying; turning it off actually made things clearer. Once my eyes stopped staring at it, my heart stopped panicking too.
While it was bottoming out intraday, I was watching the $BTC long position. It was grinding along the bottom without breaking support, while funds quietly entered. I said just one thing at the time: don’t make random moves; wait for it to choose a direction on its own.
From 63014.1 to 75458.4, +3432.77% gave us the answer. Those who got the timing right and were already aboard should be waking up laughing.

Bearish factors fully absorbed, gold prices are brewing an upward move
Gold prices have stabilized at low levels on the four-hour chart, fluctuating around 4297. The price has held above the lower Bollinger Band, while the previous downward momentum has clearly weakened. The Bollinger Bands are gradually narrowing, setting the stage for a rebound. The RSI indicator is recovering upward from low levels and has moved out of the oversold zone. Bullish momentum is steadily building, and bottoming signals are gradually emerging.
On the news front, the market is focused on the US August retail sales

Meme coins remain active in the crypto market today, with major tokens showing renewed trading interest. Current market data shows Dogecoin ($DOGE ‌), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE) among the most closely watched meme assets. CoinMarketCap data shows DOGE, SHIB and PEPE posting positive seven-day performance, while trading volumes remain substantial.
$PEPE ‌ is attracting attention around the $0.0000033 area, with reported daily trading volume above $200 million. Its price remains highly sensitive to market sentiment, social-media activity and broader crypto movements.

$ETH is a trapped whale trying to push the price up to unload! But the macro environment means he is doomed to stay trapped. The harder he struggles, the deeper he gets stuck. With data like this, would anyone still dare to chase longs or buy at high prices?

58 down and 10 up across the market, VTHO surges 20%: an independent move that even short sellers paying fees cannot suppress
What a move—amid a defensive market with 58 down and 10 up, $VTHO went against the trend and surged 20.156%. I’m bullish here; buy the dip on a pullback.
Current price: 0.000769, volume ratio 3.868; the latest three 15m volumes were 133 million, 142 million, and 188 million, while the average volume in the previous hour was only 64 million.
First, the funding rate is -0.00191054, meaning shorts are paying every 8 hours and still cannot suppress the price. Second, the da
