Every major TradFi player is pricing a rate hike. As reported by AMBCrypto, the latest CPI figure came in slightly higher than expected, with the US August inflation rising 0.4% compared to 0.1% in July. It left America’s inflation comfortably above the Fed’s 2% level, with the annual inflation standing at 3.4%, which would allow for the rate hikes once again. But the story does not end here. As seen in the chart below, nearly every major financial institution now prices in a rate hike from the Federal Reserve next week, with Bank of America pricing in a 75-bps hike.…

A hypothetical $10k investment highlights a key divergence. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin displayed stronger resilience than precious metals during the US-Iran conflict. A hypothetical $10,000 investment in BTC would have grown to $11,762, while the same investment in gold and silver would have hit $8,200 and $7,310, respectively. This is notable, as metals usually act as a safe haven during macro uncertainty. However, in the presented scenario, Bitcoin was able to outperform both gold and silver, thus presenting a different risk-reward profile, making it a key divergence that could become important as macro volatility picks up this month.

Bulgaria is in the news today after adopting a crypto tax reporting law. In doing so, it has effectively aligned with the European Union’s (EU) rules despite falling behind schedule.  Last week, on 9th September, the National Assembly of Bulgaria unanimously voted for the EU DAC8 directive, which expands automatic cross-border tax reporting to crypto assets.   The directive was first floated in late 2025, and EU member countries were expected to implement it by January 2026. It is aimed at solving tax evasion and fraud across the region, given the complex and ever-evolving nature of the DeFi and crypto sector. …

Bitcoin faces competing forces heading into the final months of 2026: progress on US crypto rules could encourage buyers, while expensive energy and high bond yields constrain demand. A durable recovery would be easier if those forces start pulling in the same direction.Bitcoin is trading near $76,000 on September 15, down 3.22% over 24 hours but still up 20.43% over 30 days. That leaves a substantial recovery to defend as the Senate approaches a procedural milestone for the CLARITY Act, a bill to establish US digital-asset market rules, and the Federal Reserve begins its September 15–16 meeting.The question is whether…

Strategy’s Michael Saylor never misses a chance to praise Bitcoin [BTC] and its long-term potential. In a recent appearance on X, he went ahead and provided an investment thesis where he referred to Bitcoin as a form of “digital capital” and potentially a new global reserve asset. Why did Saylor refer to Bitcoin as an open global reserve asset? Strategy argues that Bitcoin combines qualities found across traditional assets – scarcity, portability, divisibility, global liquidity, independent verification, and the ability to transfer ownership without a central issuer. Hence, he believes that instead of viewing Bitcoin mainly as a payment network,…

Source: X However, the move does not suggest that Mastercard is using Cardano as a direct component of their payment platform. Instead, it suggests there will be avenues for collaboration and potential future use cases and additional uses in the future. If those discussions lead to actual payment applications, then Cardano would have gained some level of institutional recognition. Until that point, however, this represents opportunities, not an established relationship. Cardano’s stablecoin base faces a key test Cardano’s next challenge is building enough stablecoin liquidity for real payment use. Its stablecoin market holds about $60 million. However, at least $43…

A House crypto tax overhaul would raise an estimated $500 million while easing taxes on stablecoin payments and small fees.The House Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to consider H.R. 10357, the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act, on Sept. 16, putting a broad rewrite of digital-asset taxation before lawmakers after months of negotiations over how closely crypto should be treated like traditional financial assets.The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the legislation would increase federal receipts by about $500 million net from fiscal 2027 through 2036, after accounting for provisions that both raise and reduce government revenue.The package includes rules covering…

Is Ethereum’s outperformance in Q3 because of Bitcoin’s weakness? Judging from the rotation standpoint, yes. According to Bitcoin’s quarterly framework, the dominant asset’s dominance grew by 1.5% on a quarterly basis so far, while Ethereum’s dominance is up by over 25% on a quarter-over-quarter basis. This implies that there has been a significant rotation into ETH and higher beta assets in general as BTC approached the $80k resistance. Further supporting this trend, the ETH/BTC ratio is also up by over 25% in Q3, which is its highest quarterly increase since Q3 2025. However, the ratio remains in the 0.03 resistance…

On the 11th of September, Bitcoin [BTC] fell to a low of $76,046. Just an hour and a half later, BTC had rallied 5.05% to reach a high of $79,890. This kind of swift, intense volatility hunted down both long and short liquidations. The seemingly resurgent bulls were stopped in their tracks. Over the weekend, BTC consolidated between $76.5k and $77.5k. In recent trading hours, Bitcoin once again breached the upper boundary, but it is unclear if it will fall lower once again. The upcoming week could see more BTC volatility The Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan are…
