On September 14, market sources reported that Musk's X company and xAI have reached an antitrust settlement with Apple.

On September 14, Jiang Zhuoer, founder of the B.TOP mining pool, stated that while the latest text of the Republican-sponsored CLARITY Act claims to have made '80% concessions' on contentious issues to the Democrats, and has increased the probability of the bill passing on Polymarket from 14% to 28%, he believes the actual concessions may only be about 60%. He noted that some key compromises have not substantially resolved the differences. Using the ethical provisions as an example, he pointed out that the Democrats previously demanded that the scope of restrictions cover federal officials, their spouses, children, and related entities, while the new text only expands to 'officials + spouses', excluding children and related entities, thus rendering this concession limited in significance. Regarding enforcement provisions, Jiang highlighted that the Republicans had previously only agreed to let the Department of Justice handle prosecutions, while the Democrats sought to empower state attorneys general. Although the new text allows state attorneys general to prosecute, it is limited to violations involving tokens listed on exchanges and does not address insufficient enforcement of ethical provisions or lawsuits initiated by the President himself. He believes that such 'half-hearted concessions on key provisions' are unlikely to truly satisfy the core demands of the Democrats. Jiang assesses that the Democrats have no reason to offer this 'gift' to the Trump administration before the midterm elections, making it unlikely they will accept the current version. He predicts that the procedural vote scheduled for September 16 at 2:15 AM Beijing time is unlikely to pass and warns that if the CLARITY Act fails to pass, it could trigger a correction in the current BTC rally.

The total US debt is expected to exceed the statutory limit of $41.1 trillion by 2027, with the results of the midterm elections in November becoming a crucial variable. Last week, Trump proposed that if the Republican Party wins the midterm elections, each American would receive a $5,000 bonus, which critics say would accelerate reaching the limit. Some Republicans are contemplating addressing the debt ceiling early during the 'lame duck' session after the elections to prevent the Democrats from using it as a political leverage if they regain control of both chambers. However, fiscal conservatives within the Republican Party, such as Congressman Chip Roy, strongly oppose this unless it is accompanied by significant spending restrictions. House Speaker Johnson holds only a slim majority, allowing for a maximum of three members to defect, while the Senate must overcome the 60-vote threshold. On the Democratic side, if they win, they will use the debt ceiling as a key lever to constrain the White House. A similar standoff in 2023 brought the US to the brink of default, leading Fitch to downgrade the US credit rating from AAA to AA+.
