Why a CLARITY victory may still leave Bitcoin trapped at $76,000

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.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $76,312.67 24-hour change: down 3.25% Loading price history… 24H Down 3.25% 7D Down 2.85% 30D Up 20.88%　　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 a better regulatory outlook can coincide with relief in financing costs. Three routes emerge from that tension: a recovery supported by easing pressure, another bout of selling, or months of volatile consolidation.　　Oil makes the Fed harder to ignore for Bitcoin　　The inflation squeeze already has a visible transmission channel. August consumer prices rose 0.4% on the month, with gasoline accounting for more than a third of that increase. Core prices, excluding food and energy, rose 0.3%. Expensive fuel is

Standard Chartered says Arbitrum could outperform Bitcoin, Ether through 2030

Standard Chartered says layer-2 network Arbitrum could emerge as one of the digital asset industrys top performers through 2030 as traditional financial firms move more assets onchain, giving the network a potentially lucrative revenue source beyond crypto-native activity.　　In a note shared with Cointelegraph, Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered‘s global head of digital assets research, said Arbitrum’s economics offer considerable upside because the network receives 10% of the net protocol revenue generated by companies building on it. Robinhood Chain, developed by the online brokerage, is the first major example.　　According to Kendrick, Robinhood Chain has already materially changed Arbitrums economics. At its current run rate, Arbitrum is expected to generate $5 million in revenue in September, more than five times its level before Robinhood Chain launched in July.　　Kendrick expects those economics to support a steady rise in Arbitrum‘s native ARB token over the coming years, reaching as high as $10 by 2030. From current levels, that would represent a roughly 70-fold increase, far exceeding Standard Chartered’s projected returns for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) over the same period.　　ARB was valued at around $0.14 on Tuesday, having gained 86% over the past month, according to Coingecko.　　ARB 1-month performance.

Robert Kiyosaki Says the Biggest Stock Market Crash in History Has Started

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, declared this week that the largest stock and bond market crash in history has already begun.　　He tied the warning to predictions first made in his 2002 book, claiming the collapse is now spreading from Europe and Japan worldwide.　　What Kiyosakis Crash Warning Actually Claims　　He points to speculative excess around artificial intelligence, ongoing tension involving Iran, record global debt levels, and the mass retirement of Baby Boomers, straining pension systems simultaneously.　　Kiyosaki specifically warned holders of retirement accounts, including 401(k)s and IRAs, that those over 40 face particular risk.　　BIGGEST CRASH IN HISTORY has started.　　In 2002 I released RICH DADS PROPHECY. This book was written to prepare people to profit and not be victims of the biggest stock and bond market crash in history…. a crash that was still coming.　　Drawing a parallel to the Great Depression, which he notes spanned roughly 25 years from 1929 to 1954, Kiyosaki argued that prepared investors can turn a crisis into a lasting opportunity.　　His preparation strategy centers on rejecting cash savings entirely. He has spent years publicly favoring income-producing real estate, oil wells, and hard assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin instead.　　Kiyosaki frames these as protection against the “fake money
