Summarize last week’s major events in the crypto world:
2026.8.17–8.23
1️⃣ Over the five trading days last week, $BTC surged by about 22%. The price jumped from around $63,000 to as high as $79,000, marking the strongest performance since March 2024. The powerful rally triggered extreme short squeezes across the market, with total liquidation of short positions exceeding $4 billion.
2️⃣ The U.S. crypto regulatory landscape saw major progress. Trump continued to push forward the CLARITY Act. The SEC officially released a new regulatory framework for crypto assets, clearly outlining the Token safe-harbor rules.
3️⃣ Tether completed a full independent audit by KPMG and received an unqualified (no-concerns) audit opinion.
4️⃣ First Digital’s CEO responded to comments by Justin Sun regarding FDUSD. He said the relevant statements were seriously misleading and noted that Justin Sun has not provided evidence for the allegations to date. The two sides had previously gone to court in Hong Kong over a defamation dispute, and the case is still under review.
5️⃣ Crypto-related stocks in the U.S. stock market rallied across the board. Bitcoin’s strong rise lifted shares such as $MSTR MSTR and COIN in sync. Strategy (MSTR) gained about 27% over the week. Market focus on the linkage between BTC and U.S.-listed crypto assets increased further.
