Liquid Network hack, surging Fed hike odds, the CLARITY Act vote, and Polymarket perps headline this week's recap.

A $320M sidechain exploit, an inflation shock, and a make-or-break Senate vote set the tone for crypto this week.

↳ Blockstream's Liquid Network lost 4,000 BTC after a software bug let attackers mint unbacked L-BTC. Hackers returned 3,400 BTC once patches shipped but still hold 598 BTC worth $47M. Talks continue and the network remains paused.

↳ Hot August CPI and PPI prints pushed odds of a Fed rate hike on Sept 16 from 60% to over 85%. Spot BTC ETFs bled $463M over four sessions while price held the $76K to $80K range.

↳ The CLARITY Act hits a Senate cloture vote on Sept 15. It needs 60 votes and seven Democratic crossovers, with ethics rules, DeFi liability, and stablecoin yield still unresolved. Markets price a 16% chance of passage this year.

↳ Polymarket launched perpetual futures with up to 20x leverage across crypto, stocks, commodities, and indexes, scaling from 10 to 67 markets within hours. Non-US users only.
