OpenAI will not go public in 2026. Sam Altman confirms it, security reasons oblige. But behind this virtuous discourse, Trump's ex-IA and crypto Czar, David Sacks, smells a cartel disguised as virtue. Meanwhile, the AI crypto market does not pause.
As I explained in my analysis last week, Bitcoin remains for now in a totally lateral market. The scenario I envisaged continues to unfold: the price oscillates between the 80,000-82,000 dollar zone and the 75,000-76,000 dollar zone, which currently acts as support. And personally, I decided to take advantage of this range rather than try to anticipate a breakout that still hasn't happened.
Strategy has paused its bitcoin purchases and put $139 million into STRC, while Strive continues adding BTC to its holdings.
Bitcoin is entering a week dominated by two major political and monetary events. On Tuesday, September 15, the U.S. Senate is set to vote on closing debates on the CLARITY Act. On Wednesday, the FOMC will announce its interest rate decision. However, positioning data shows traders have already adjusted their exposure. Since the beginning of the month, open positions have significantly decreased, while the price has declined more moderately. This reset could already change the dynamics of upcoming sessions.
During the shortened week of September 8, U.S. crypto ETFs recorded nearly $263 million in net outflows. The positive gathering of products related to Ether, XRP, and Solana was masked by withdrawals concentrated on Bitcoin ETFs.
BitMine strengthens its Ethereum reserve with 27,180 ETH. Does this new crypto purchase change the game for ETH? Complete analysis.
After twelve months of caution, Bitcoin options traders change direction. Since August 20, they pay more to bet on a BTC rise than to protect against a drop, an unprecedented shift in a year. The signal comes while bitcoin trades around $78,278, far from its peak above $126,000 in October 2025. Between dominance of call options, increase in futures positions, and bets concentrated under $100,000, the derivatives market shows renewed but still measured optimism.
King Charles III will bring together several heavyweights of AI this week in Scotland, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google DeepMind, and IonQ. The meeting will be held at Dumfries House and organized with the Ditchley Foundation. Discussions will focus on the responsible development of the most advanced models and the possibility of defining common principles. The summit comes a few days after new calls to slow down the race to artificial intelligence.
The US Senate is set to vote this Tuesday, September 15 at 2:15 PM Washington time, or 8:15 PM in Paris, on the progress of the CLARITY Act, presented as a major text aimed at establishing a comprehensive framework for crypto markets in the United States. This procedural vote requires 60 votes to allow the bill to continue its legislative journey. Republicans, who hold 53 seats in the Senate, will therefore need to gain support from several Democrats or independents. A failure would strongly compromise the adoption of the bill before the end of 2026.
Grayscale wants to shift crypto investment from a standalone product to a ready-to-use portfolio. The manager launched, on September 14, four models intended for financial advisors, built from several crypto-exposed ETPs. Weighting based on capitalization, quarterly rebalancing, asset cap: the offer provides an allocation framework without transferring the investment decision to Grayscale. A way to facilitate the integration of cryptos into wealth management while leaving advisors responsible for the final choice for their clients.
