Bitcoin weathers September storm as rate hikes and Clarity act setback test bulls

Bitcoin is down just 1.5% in its historically weakest month and remains on track for its first quarterly gain in a year, despite rising rates, surging oil and a stronger dollar.

Bitcoin held near $75,000 after the Clarity Act stalled in the Senate and the Fed delivered its first rate hike in more than three years.
The Bank of Japan also raised rates, while the Bank of England held steady and the SEC offered a brighter spot with its tokenisation exemption.
