🔴 Crypto panic driven by politics and the Fed: what is happening?

September 2026 brought a sharp reversal to the crypto market. In just two days (September 15–16), institutional investors withdrew over $1.1 billion from spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

📊 Key reasons for the slump:
➡️ Failure of the CLARITY Act in the Senate: The bill aimed at providing regulatory clarity for digital assets was blocked due to political disputes regarding ethics and conflicts of interest. The market lost the anticipated transparent rules of the game.
➡️ Fed decisions and high yields: Monetary policy tightening and rising bond yields have dampened risk appetite, leading institutional investors to lock in profits en masse.
➡️ Major fund outflows: The bulk of the outflows came from giants like BlackRock (IBIT) and Fidelity (FBTC).

⚠️ The political deadlock in the US has temporarily deprived the crypto market of its primary growth driver, pushing prices into a phase of heightened volatility.
