The CLARITY Act failed to pass, leaving hundreds of millions of dollars in lobbying funds with nothing to show for them.
Last night in Washington, the Senate held a procedural vote.
Result: 49 votes in favor, 50 against.
It fell 11 votes short of the 60-vote threshold for passage.
But in the final hour before the vote, the market was still betting that it would pass.
Then—nearly $300 million in crypto long positions were liquidated in an instant.
Within 24 hours, 115,716 people were liquidated.
Coinbase -10.10%
Circle -11.45%
Strategy -5.36%
Robinhood -3.39%
What about Bitcoin?
It fell just 4.

Two days of live trading have delivered the results: BTC gained a cumulative 3,954 points, while ETH secured 200 points. $BTC

CLARITY Act Vote Fails: Digital Asset Compliance Process Enters an Adjustment Window
The U.S. Senate’s procedural vote on the CLARITY Digital Asset Regulation Act concluded with 50 votes in favor and 49 against, falling short of the 60-vote threshold required for passage. The result ended the market’s short-term expectation that unified U.S. digital asset regulatory rules would be implemented, pushing the digital asset compliance process in the United States and globally into a period of uncertain adjustment.
The U.S. digital asset market has long faced ambiguity over regulatory responsibiliti

🚀 On September 16, the $ARC mainnet officially launches, with Gate supporting the ARC public chain from day one!

For a new chain launch, it's not just about speed, but also trading costs.
With ARC going live, save on Gas first when hunting for golden dogs. 🐶

The future of the CLARITY Act has become unclear.
Democrats are unanimously opposed, and some Republicans oppose it too.
Trump is both the reason for its success and its failure.
The concerns mainly center on moral hazard.
Tonight, if Warsh raises rates again,
BTC’s trajectory this year will also become unclear.

9.16 SOL Analysis
Analysis: Short near 97.5-99.0 on a rebound, stop-loss at 100.0, first target 95.8, second target 94.5
On the 1H chart, a one-way downtrend began from the stage high of 104.82, with the price falling step by step to a stage low of 95.82. The intraday decline was significant, the overall downtrend is clear, the rebound was extremely weak, and bearish forces completely dominated the market. In terms of the moving average system, MA7, MA25, and MA99 are in a standard bearish alignment, with the short- and medium-term moving averages diverging downward in unison and creating laye

$ZKC Down 20% in a day, with the current price of 0.0373 sitting right at the 24h low—if this isn’t panic selling, what is?
Technical view: It plunged from 0.0467 all the way to 0.0372, while the 9.9M volume shows selling pressure is being released but hasn’t fully exhausted. No concentrated whale selling is visible on-chain; it looks more like a cascade of leveraged liquidations.
My plan: Accumulate in batches within the 0.036-0.0373 range, with the initial position capped at 15% of the total holdings. Set the stop-loss at 0.0345; a break below would indicate another wave is coming. Take-prof

9.16 Morning $ETH Outlook
Current price: 2410. ETH was also hammered yesterday, dropping 257 points from 2614 and grinding lower all the way to 2357. Coupled with the CLARITY Act failing to pass overnight, the bulls’ final fantasy was shattered, and the price was dumped directly to 2357. After this move, the short-term structure is already broken, so don’t rush to buy just because it has fallen a lot.
Entry zone: Enter short around 2420–2440
Stop-loss defense: 2460
First target: 2350
Second target: 2320
The market is now waiting for the interest-rate decision at 2 a.m. tomorrow—whether rates

Done buying ARC—who gives a damn.
My meme strategy is to buy every coin near the top by market cap.

The market wiped out $665 million overnight, leaving 114857 people bankrupt and wiped out; after holding back last night, BTC offered a strategy in the early morning: go long at 75000, set a stop-loss at 74000, and take profit at 76000; an early-morning wick directly hit 76000 without hitting 74000; those who entered the trade directly secured a position; together with the ZEC short on Monday night, there have surprisingly already been 2 profitable trades this week, neither stopped out for now; last week’s SUI long remained open, but half was reduced

BTW, I caught the main part of this drop but don’t plan to close the entire position. $BTW Kept facing pressure at the highs, with each rebound weaker than the last, so I held the short until now.
Before entering, I was looking for a reclaim after a false breakout. The previous high failed to hold, and the key resistance above remained valid. After entry, it first swept a round of short-term stop-losses before moving lower. The momentum was bearish, and I didn’t make random moves during the wick.
I’ll reduce the position by 80% near 0.684299, put a protective level on the remaining 20%, and t

Bitcoin seems to have undergone a trend reversal. Those who chased the highs should get ready to be trapped.
Yesterday, I planned to wait for it to retest $80,000 before entering, but it stopped at $79,500, so I couldn’t go all in and only opened a small position.
Hopefully, I can make back the losses from last time. I can’t be overly confident anymore. In future trades, I still need to refer to more indicators and signals and ensure that my actions align with my understanding.
Looking back at my past performance, from $80,000 down to $60,000 and then from $60,000 back up to $80,000, I only ma

🔥 THE MEME MARKET IS MOVING — AND I’M NOT JUST WATCHING FROM THE SIDELINES! 👀🚀
If you’re involved in the meme-coin market, you already know how quickly sentiment can change. One minute everyone is quiet, and the next minute a token is trending, the community is exploding, volume is increasing, and everyone suddenly has an opinion. 😂📈
That’s exactly why I’m joining the #GateMemeCarnival conversation.
Instead of keeping my thoughts in drafts, I’m sharing what I’m watching, what kind of market sentiment I’m seeing, and where I currently stand.

I really didn't do much this round, but the short position turned out well, and that's enough.

After seeing the bearish news, selling pressure was strong, trading volume was low, and overhead resistance was obvious. I said at the time, don't rush to buy the rebound; wait for confirmed support first.

$COOKIE From 0.01111 to 0.00983, the short position gained +280.31%. It was really sluggish at first, but once it played out, it was truly sweet.

Close 80% first, and protect the remaining 20% at the entry price. Watch those profits, brothers; if the sell-off continues, let the profits run.

I can leave work early again today😄
