bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson explained why the CLARITY Act failed to pass legislation. Hoskinson says the CLARITY Act failed because it lacked fragmentation. He criticized US legislators for failing to consult and negotiate extensively, noting that lawmakers did not resolve individual regulatory questions and build bipartisan agreement.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ADA, measured when this story was written up on 17 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ADA is trading at $0.1965 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.9% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 52.3%, both indicating a majority of buyers relative to sellers. These short-term ratios are higher than the 24-hour buy ratio of 48.9%, suggesting that buying pressure is building in the immediate term. The 1-hour volume delta is +$62,566 and the 4-hour delta is +$149,315, showing net inflows of capital over these shorter periods. In contrast, the 24-hour volume delta is -$560,222, indicating that net selling has outweighed buying over the full day. The CVD at 24-hour close is +$727,614, and there were 16 hours of net buying out of 24, with a total spot volume of $26,268,466 across 133,930 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 5th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ADA, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 48.3%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 48.9% slightly higher by 0.6 points. The 24-hour spot volume of $26,268,466 represents 0.87x the average weekly volume, indicating lower-than-usual trading activity. While there was only 1 day of net buying in the last 7 days, the 8-day price change was -7.3% with a total volume delta of -$9,743,300. This suggests that despite a slight uptick in short-term buying, the broader weekly trend remains bearish with significant net outflows.
