Off the Blockchain+, September 7-14, 2026

It’s Clarity Act vote week! Third time the charm, as there were multiple Clarity Act vote weeks in the months proceeding this one, but this time it’s on for real!

Crypto hit a $4 trillion market cap in a wild “Crypto Week” which included some drama in Congress and started rocky, but ended with some of the most bipartisan support for various crypto bills that we have ever seen and the first digital asset bill in America being signed into law.
