This Bitcoin Election Strategy Has Worked 3 Times: Here's When It Says to Buy BTC

Its a simple yet very effective strategy. At least, it has been for the past decade.　　Popular analyst CryptoGoos outlined a remarkably simple BTC trading strategy that has successfully tracked and identified the assets most important cycle bottoms and tops.　　If it plays out again, the next major buy signal could be happening as we speak (or as you read). The idea is quite interesting – instead of relying on complicated indicators, moving averages, and on-chain metrics, investors should look into the US midterm elections.　　This striking historical pattern shows that Bitcoin has struggled during every previous midterm election year before recovering strongly once the vote was out of the way. That makes this year and the following several months highly interesting.　　No Good Midterm Year　　Given the fact that BTC was essentially an unknown internet magic money in 2010, we wont count that midterm election year. Instead, we will focus on 2014, 2018, and 2022. A quick look into that shows that all three were ugly. 12 years ago, BTC had already collapsed following the extraordinary 2013 bull market and the failure of Mt. Gox.　　Fast forward to the 2018 bear market, the cryptocurrency plunged from almost $20,000 to under $3,500. The 2022 example was

Bitcoin Price Takes a $3,215 Ride Just to Land Back at $77K

Bitcoin‘s price is hanging around $77,300 on Saturday morning, after somehow squeezing a $3,215 intraday adventure into a 24-hour gain of just 0.2%. That tiny move does a pretty good job of hiding what has actually been a wild ride underneath, as bitcoin’s longer-term structure remains intact while the short-term picture has clearly cooled, leaving bitcoins price caught between support around $76,040-$76,400 and a stubborn patch of resistance beginning near $77,970.　　Key TakeawaysBitcoins price took a wild $3,215 ride, only to wind up near $77,300 with a tiny 0.2% gain.BTCs bigger trend still looks healthy, but the short-term charts are all over the place below $78,800.Bitcoin bulls have work to do: crack $78,800, and that $82,280-$82,830 neighborhood is back in the cards.　　1-Hour Bitcoin Price Chart　　Bitcoins price on the 1-hour chart looks like a market that went through all that trouble just to end up back where it started.

The dilution trap where Bitcoin holdings rise while shareholder value stalls

Buying shares in a Bitcoin treasury company gives ownership in a business that holds Bitcoin, and management decides how to pay for the coins and when to buy or sell them.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $77,290.19 24-hour change: down 0.22% 24H Down 0.22% 7D Down 3.04% 30D Up 21.38%　　The company also has bills to pay and may owe money to lenders, so the shares value depends on those decisions and Bitcoins price.　　Frances Capital B is a Bitcoin treasury company that makes that relationship easy to see. Between Aug. 17 and Sept. 7, its treasury Bitcoin holdings increased from 3,145 BTC to 3,521 BTC, roughly 12%.　　However, Bitcoin per share barely moved under the companys calculation, which includes some shares that could be created in the future. More Bitcoin came into the business alongside more claims to ownership.　　That result explains why the method of paying for Bitcoin belongs at the center of any assessment of a treasury stock.　　Selling new shares raises cash, but existing shareholders then own a smaller percentage of the company. Borrowing preserves their percentage for the moment while adding a repayment obligation. Either can work well on favorable terms, but both affect the investments value.　　Capital B is listed

Wall Street is building tokenized deposits to lock in customer balances

Imagine your company has enough money to pay a supplier, but the money is in its Singapore account and the bill must be paid from New York. If the transfer between those accounts has to wait until Monday, having enough cash overall doesnt solve the immediate problem.　　Businesses work around this by moving money early or keeping extra cash in accounts where they might need it. Both tie up money that could be used elsewhere, and sometimes a company even borrows in one country while its own cash is available in another.　　Banks want to make those transfers easier. On Sept. 5, DBS and Citis New York office completed a dollar payment between Singapore and the US in minutes, according to DBSs announcement. To achieve that, they used tokenized deposits, a way of recording bank deposits as digital tokens, through SWIFTs digital ledger.　　The announcement describes the payment route, and the banks still havent disclosed the amount or established that every customer can use it. But it gives them a concrete example of the service they want to sell: moving company money across borders when customers need it, including on weekends.　　Banks are doing this because its potentially a very lucrative deal.

UK crypto firms get five-month window to seek FCA approval

UK crypto firms have been given a five-month application window, from Sep. 30 to Feb. 28, to seek Financial Conduct Authority approval before a new regulatory regime is expected to take effect in October 2027.　　The Financial Times published a letter from Zumo founder and CEO Nick Jones, who said the application window gives firms a route into a UK market that some financial institutions had previously considered “too difficult.” In his view, uncertainty over regulation and the risks posed by business partners had held institutions back, even where they understood digital assets and wanted to offer related products.　　The FCAs published timetable puts an exact date on the next step: applications open on Sep. 30, 2026, close on Feb. 28, 2027, and the new regime is expected to begin on Oct. 25, 2027. The regulator opened a pre-application support service in July to help firms prepare before they file.　　UK crypto firms must apply for new permissions　　Under the incoming rules, a firm carrying out regulated crypto activities will need FCA authorisation or a change to its existing permissions. The FCA says its current crypto oversight has focused mainly on anti-money-laundering registration and financial promotions; the 2027 framework will bring more activities into
