According to BlockBeats, on September 15th, CryptoQuant reported that Bitcoin short-term holders (STH) have been in partial profit for 30 consecutive days, marking the longest consecutive profit period since 2026, indicating that bullish signals in the market are strengthening.

Data shows that as of September 15, STH held approximately $168.2 billion in profitable tokens and approximately $102.6 billion in losing tokens. CryptoQuant points out that the continued profitability of short-term holders is an important signal in Bitcoin's history of ending bear markets and the market re-entering a long-term upward trend, a similar situation that occurred at the end of the 2022 bear market.

Meanwhile, the overall Bitcoin investor community has maintained a net profit since August 19th. The current cost base for holders of 1 to 3 months is approximately $63,372, and for holders of 3 to 6 months, it is approximately $73,190.

CryptoQuant believes that if short-term holders can continue to lock in profits and hold on, the probability of Bitcoin reversing its current market trend into a long-term bull market will further increase.

According to BlockBeats, on September 15th, Binance Wallet announced that it will provide support on the first day of the Arc mainnet launch and launch a dedicated Arc Hub, providing users with a one-stop entry point to enter and explore the Arc ecosystem.

Arc is a Layer-1 blockchain launched by Circle, focusing on stablecoin-driven financial applications. With the launch of the Arc mainnet, its on-chain assets, DeFi applications, and more ecosystem opportunities will be gradually opened to users.

As one of the first wallets to support the Arc mainnet, Binance Wallet will provide network support on the first day of the Arc mainnet launch. Users can more easily access the Arc network, acquire on-chain assets, and further explore the Arc ecosystem through Binance Wallet. In addition to basic network support, Binance Wallet will also launch Arc Hub simultaneously, further lowering the information and operational barriers for users entering the new ecosystem.

Arc Hub will serve as a dedicated entry point within the Binance wallet for the Arc ecosystem, focusing on core scenarios such as fund preparation, discovery of popular assets, DeFi yield opportunities, and ecosystem hotspots. It will help users complete their Arc ecosystem exploration from fund entry to opportunity discovery and trading participation within a single entry point.

According to BlockBeats, on September 15, the Trump administration was making every effort to persuade Senate Republicans to advance the landmark cryptocurrency legislation, the Clarity Act, to alleviate banks' concerns.

The White House plans to launch an interactive tool on September 15, allowing users to adjust parameters and run different scenarios to demonstrate the Council of Economic Advisers' (CEA) previous analysis that "there is no significant relationship between stablecoin growth and outflows of community bank deposits." This move by the White House aims to refute concerns from banking groups that stablecoin reward mechanisms may lead to deposit outflows.

However, several Republican lawmakers remain reserved. Texas Senator John Cornyn stated that the latest text may still not address core concerns regarding community banks and hinted that he might vote against it. The bill, which plans to transfer regulatory responsibility for digital assets to the SEC and CFTC, requires at least 60 senators' support to move forward.

Meanwhile, crypto-friendly Democratic lawmakers argue that the newly revised ethics provisions are still insufficient to restrain Trump and his family. Senators Adam Schiff and Mark Warner both expressed their concerns.

The crypto industry is currently awaiting the Senate vote and preparing to allocate tens of millions of dollars in political funds to support candidates. Crypto political super PAC Fairshake has already invested over $30 million in Democratic candidates this election cycle. Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Osoff has yet to decide how to vote.
