₿ Bitcoin – Sunday, 20 September 2026 **Price steady near $80K on CFTC filing** BTC trades around $80,400, roughly flat on the week. The CFTC submitted its long-awaited crypto market-structure rulemaking to the White House for review after the Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act, while ECB president Christine Lagarde urged Greece not to approve Binance's bid for an EU-wide license. **Mining difficulty hits fresh record** Bitcoin's difficulty adjusted upward again as network hashrate approaches roughly 950 EH/s, with average block times running under the 10-minute target; the next adjustment falls around October 2. Transaction fees supplied just 0.67% of block rewards Saturday, leaving miners still dependent on the halved block subsidy. Previously:
