Week of Sept 14–20: CLARITY Act Vote, Fed, BoJ, VeChain Hard Fork
- —The CLARITY Act vote requires 60 votes; Republicans need 7 Democratic votes
- —The Fed may raise rates by 25 bps to 3.75–4.00% for the first time in three years
- —The Bank of Japan is forecast to raise rates to 1.25%, a multi-decade high
- —The $26 million LayerZero token unlock will add market pressure
Why it matters: A CLARITY Act failure would delay U.S. crypto regulation, while a Fed rate hike is already priced in, but the dot plot could intensify pressure.
