Crypto markets and related stocks moved lower Tuesday as investors braced for two major Washington catalysts: a Senate vote on the CLARITY Act and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision Wednesday.
Bitcoin was trading around $76,431, down 2.19% over 24 hours, while Ether fell 1.8% to roughly $2,449 and Solana dropped 1.02% to about $100. The total crypto market capitalization declined 1.2% to $2.61 trillion.
Derivatives traders were also caught in the selloff. Roughly $384 million in crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours, including about $195 million in longs and $189 million in shorts, while nearly $160 million was wiped out over the previous 12 hours.
Crypto-linked stocks were hit harder.

Scotiabank believes CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) is emerging as a "vendor of choice" for agentic AI security needs. After conversing with more than 15 customers at the Fal.Con 2026 event and meeting with the company management, the Wall Street firm came away confident in the company's sustained momentum.
On September 4, Scotiabank ***** yst Patrick Colville raised the price target on the stock to $265 from $250 while maintaining a Sector Outperform rating. Firm checks showed how customers are experiencing an "accelerating" desire to consolidate security stacks onto CrowdStrike's platform.
The key question now is whether CrowdStrike can sustain this interest and translate it into meaningful growth, all while defending its position as a key AI cyber security platform.
An engineer typing on a computer, developing the latest cybersecurity application.
On September 1, CrowdStrike introduced SafeMind, a suite of cyber security threat detection models within its Falcon platform. The launch was made at the Fal.Con 2026 event, aimed to run as one system designed to deliver AI safety.

The stock market has been so good for so long, that it's making some investors suspicious. The S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has delivered a total return of 593% in the past 15 years. The tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index has done even better with a total return of 1,150% during that time.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Can the good times on Wall Street really keep going? What if the artificial intelligence (AI) boom that has powered hundreds of billions of dollars of capital expenditure and investor excitement turns out to be overvalued and overhyped? What if we're overdue for a bear market?
During any given day, month, or year, the stock market can lose value. This is why day trading and short-term speculation can be so risky and unlikely to succeed. But I'm not focused on what happens in the stock market tomorrow or this year.
Any money I invest today is going to be left invested for the next 10 years or more. And as a long-term investor, I believe that no matter what happens next, as a long-term investor, it's a good decision to keep investing in the Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI).

Dynasty trusts remove ****** ets from a taxable estate permanently, letting wealth compound across generations without triggering a 40% estate tax at each death.
The $15 million federal exemption, made permanent in 2026, defines who benefits. Estates comfortably below that threshold gain nothing from this structure.
Forgetting to allocate GST exemption on IRS Form 709 in the gift year exposes every future generational transfer to a flat 40% tax.

Rockefeller Jr. locked most of the family fortune into a set of irrevocable trusts that have since carried ****** ets through six generations without a single federal estate tax bill. The structure has a name: Dynasty Trust, and it is still legal in 2026.

Revenue growth of 87.6% in the first half of 2026 was primarily driven by a 153.9% increase in U.S. customer demand, which now represents over 80% of total revenue.
Gross margin expansion to 32.5% reflects improved production efficiency and a strategic shift toward higher average selling price (ASP) sales in the U.S. market.
Management attributes the sequential revenue decline in Q2 to lower solar cell volumes, which were only partially offset by increased solar module sales and OEM service revenue.
The company views the recent Section 232 determination as a structural positive that validates its strategy of using U.S.-produced inputs and allied nation supply chains.

Beyond Meat dropped 11% after its 1-for-30 reverse split and faces an August 31 Nasdaq compliance deadline; Oatly gained 41% in the past month.
Vital Farms fell 66% YTD while PBJ gained 8%, confirming Beyond Meat's sell-off is company-specific, not a broader sector-wide problem.
Act now: the **** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Oatly didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND) shares are down 11% to $11.99 midday Monday, as the stock takes another leg lower in its first full week of trading on a split-adjusted basis. The slide follows the 1-for-30 reverse stock split that took effect after the close on August 13.
There is no fresh operating announcement from Beyond Meat driving today's move. The mechanics of the reverse split haven't changed the demand picture for the shares, and continued selling in the first sessions after a reverse split is a familiar pattern.
