📰CRYPTO NEWSLETTER NIGHT 17/9/2026🔥
1️⃣ BTC remains around $76K after the Fed rate hike
The Fed just raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75–4%, the first increase in more than 3 years. Although a high-rate environment often puts pressure on risky assets, BTC is still holding around the $76,000 area, suggesting fairly limited short-term reaction.
2️⃣ ETF inflows are the most notable highlight ⚠️
On 16/9, spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded total outflows of about $520 million: BTC about $296M and ETH about $224M. Meanwhile, Solana and XRP ETFs still saw net inflows
3️⃣ CLARITY Act: a big miss, but the story isn’t over
The U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act after a 49–50 vote. However, some analyses suggest the bill may not be completely finished and could be brought back; meanwhile, the SEC and CFTC are signaling they will continue building a crypto regulatory framework under existing authorities
4️⃣ ETH faces stronger pressure than BTC
ETH is currently around the $2.4K range, while Ethereum ETF flows remain negative. This makes ETH one of the key focal points to monitor as the market digests the new monetary policy
5️⃣ One notable signal: capital flows are becoming diversified
While BTC/ETH ETFs are seeing withdrawals, XRP ETF has around a $3.5M inflow and Solana ETF about $0.84M in the data from 16/9. This is not yet proof of a long-term trend, but it shows institutional capital is starting to differentiate among assets
🔥 TONIGHT’S KEY TAKEAWAYS
Fed raises rates → BTC/ETH ETFs see outflows → CLARITY Act hits a snag → but BTC still holds $76K.
What to watch in the next session is whether BTC can keep the $76K level, and whether ETF flows reverse or continue withdrawing.
If BTC can hold $76K amid tight liquidity and still-tight monetary policy, this would be a sign the market is absorbing a lot of macro pressure.
