Bitcoin surged above $84,000 during Monday morning trading, up roughly +5%, just days after the Senate blocked the CLARITY Act and the Federal Reserve delivered its first rate hike since July 2023. Arthur Hayes says that sequence proves crypto regulation was never the catalyst.

The Flop Labs CEO called the stalled bill “nonsense” in an X post late last week, arguing that crypto never needed the legislation, only a rate hike that puts more dollars in the hands of wealthy investors who then plow that liquidity into financial assets, according to the post.

BTC USD is up more than +8% over the past week, with this surge above $84,000 fueling the narrative that the bottom is in and a full-blown bull market is on the way in Q4 2026.
