Today, January 15, 2026, is a massive day for the crypto markets, dominated by a "make-or-break" legislative vote in Washington and Bitcoin's steady climb back toward its all-time highs.

Here is the breakdown of the most important news:

⚖️ The "CLARITY" Vote:

Today, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee is holding a markup on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY).1

The Goal: To officially divide power between the SEC and CFTC.2 Bitcoin would be a commodity, and a "maturity test" would decide if altcoins can transition from securities to commodities.3

The Stakes: If this passes the committee today, 2026 becomes the year of legal certainty for U.S. crypto. If blocked, the market faces continued "regulation by enforcement."

📈 Bitcoin & Ethereum Market Pulse

Bitcoin ($97,000+): BTC is on a 5-day winning streak, currently trading around $97,665. Analysts are eyeing the $100,000 psychological barrier as the next major target.4

Ethereum Staking News: Bitmine Immersion Technologies has just reached a massive milestone, holding 4.168 million ETH (roughly 3.45% of the total supply).5 A major shareholder vote is happening today that could see them pivot to even more aggressive ETH accumulation.6

🏦 Institutional & Corporate Moves

MicroStrategy (MSTR): They aren't slowing down. Reports show they recently added another 13,627 BTC (worth $1.2B), bringing their total holdings to nearly 687,000 BTC

Goldman Sachs Prediction: Goldman released a report today predicting a 12% EPS growth for the S&P 500 in 2026, fueled by lower interest rates—a macro environment that historically sends crypto into a "Supercycle."

As of January 1, 2026, the EU’s DAC8 rules are now in effect. Crypto exchanges are now required to report detailed transaction data to tax authorities. While this adds short-term reporting pressure, it’s being viewed as the "final step" before the full MiCA implementation in July.
