Based on past experience, these kinds of developments should be enough to knock Bitcoin down another notch. But in the Asian early trading on September 17, Bitcoin briefly returned to $76,200. Has the bad news suddenly stopped mattering? Chart: Overseas KOL Aylo on X listed four pressures—rate hikes, high oil prices, rising long-term Treasury yields, and the bill’s failure—and viewed Bitcoin’s price resilience as a sign of a market regime shift

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Denies Susquehanna’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction in an Insider Trading Case
ME News message, September 17 (UTC+8). On September 14, 2026, Judge Arun Subramanian of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an opinion and order dismissing the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. The case number is 1:26-cv-05474-AS. The plaintiffs are market makers Susquehanna Securities, LLC and Susquehanna Investment Group. The intervenor is market maker Citadel Securities LLC. The defendants are John Does 1 through 100. The plaintiffs filed the lawsuit on June 29, 2026, asserting claims under Section 20A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and for unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants traded using material non-public information—specifically, that on May 22, 2026, a notice titled “China’s government to crack down on cross-border transaction platforms” was released, causing the relevant securities to crash. The plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction to bar the 40 narrowed defendants from transferring, placing encumbrances on, removing, or otherwise disposing of profits obtained in their third-party broker accounts through the alleged insider trading activity, or to seek a writ of attachment. The court found that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate elements such as the likelihood of irreparable harm, and the motion was denied. (Source: ME)
