Today so far 2026-09-15 · 18:00 UTC

Bitcoin has fallen below $76,000 as the Senate prepares for a crucial vote on the CLARITY Act, a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency, while broader market pressures from rising global bond yields and an upcoming Federal Reserve rate decision continue to weigh on prices. On a more positive note, Bitcoin ETFs have snapped a four-day losing streak with $160 million in inflows, and lawmakers are also advancing a de minimis tax break for crypto transactions that the industry has long sought. Elsewhere, altcoins are showing mixed signals with some testing long-term resistance levels, while Ethereum is winning institutional adoption and analysts believe certain tokens like Arbitrum could outperform major cryptocurrencies through the end of the decade.
