What Washington Did This Week: Not Just Pushing Spot ETFs—It’s Setting Rules for the Entire Industry
💡 Positive: Regulatory “full-chain” loosening + BTC’s strongest week since March 2023
In a single week, the U.S. regulatory agencies pushed crypto legislation on multiple fronts, and BTC posted its best weekly performance in nearly two years.
What happened
This week in Washington, crypto activity was unusually dense. Trump personally urged Congress to pass the CLARITY Act; the CFTC is working to bring Hyperliquid back to operate in the U.S.; and the SEC’s “Reg Crypto” proposal—along with Selig’s three-step roadmap—puts concrete rules for token issuance and market structure on the table. At the same time, the Treasury announced buybacks, while Visa, Swift, and several major banks have quietly integrated stablecoins and tokenization infrastructure. BTC briefly surged above $76,488.01, marking the strongest week since March 2023. It has since pulled back to $76,488.01 (24h -1.07%), which is a normal consolidation at elevated levels.
Impact on the market
- Short term: Regulatory tailwinds are the main logic behind this leg up—not retail FOMO. The pullback near $76,488.01 came with reduced volume, suggesting the chips haven’t been shaken out. ETH is $2,408.82 (24h -0.77%), with a similarly mild consolidation.
- Medium term: If the CLARITY Act + Reg Crypto are implemented, it’s like issuing a “quasi-birth certificate” for token issuance—removing compliance barriers for institutional participation. Visa and Swift adopting stablecoin settlement matters even more than the price itself: once the payment pipeline is open, there’s a reason for money to flow in.
My take
Clearly bullish, but not blindly bullish. BTC is consolidating above $76,488.01; $76,488.01 is both the swing high and a near-term resistance. As long as it doesn’t break down effectively below the support area around $76,488.01, the trend structure hasn’t been damaged. Key risks: legislative timelines could slip. After a surge, sentiment cooling and pullbacks are normal—don’t mistake a correction for a breakdown.

📊 Historical backtest
- After similar news like “Bitcoin miners’ accumulation speed hits the highest since 2023—can BTC make a new all-time high?” (2025-09-12) was released, BTC’s 12h return was -0.10%; the bullish call was wrong ❌
- There were 282 bullish news items on BTC in history; in 122 cases, the predicted direction matched the actual price action (accuracy 43%)
