What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Bitcoin traded near $80,000, lifting Coinbase and other crypto stocks on a broader risk-on move. The rally reflects a combination of a short-squeeze, strong ETF inflows, and growing retail participation, with regulatory clarity via the Clarity Act and Jackson Hole commentary as near-term catalysts. A buyback/crypto-holding signal from Strategy could further buoy COIN if buying resumes.

BTC up >20% last week on $4B short-squeeze liquidations.
US spot BTC ETFs inflows reach $1.92B last week.
Clarity Act vote set for Sept 15; crypto regulation risk/clarity for COIN.
