Today so far 2026-09-15 · 12:00 UTC

The crypto market is intensely focused on the CLARITY Act vote taking place today, a pivotal regulatory development that has sparked a 9.8% rally in XRP, though prediction markets remain skeptical of its long-term impact. On the market side, Bitcoin short-term holders are experiencing a 30-day profit streak as bull-market sentiment improves, while major institutional players like Strive continue accumulating, having just purchased $36.6 million worth of Bitcoin to reach 25,000 BTC. In other developments, large cryptocurrency movements are being monitored including a $206 million XRP transfer from Uphold and an Ethereum whale moving $37 million in ETH at a loss, while regulators pursue $61 million in USDT allegedly connected to sanctioned Iranian oil sales.
