Daily brief: bitcoin slides, DOJ Iran seizure, crypto tax bill

September 15, 2026

A CoinDesk daily briefing flagged three market and policy moves. Bitcoin slipped below $77,000 ahead of the Senate's CLARITY Act vote, while the DOJ moved to seize $61 million in crypto allegedly tied to Iran's military, and a major crypto tax bill headed for a House committee vote. The briefing ties together a risk-off crypto market with parallel federal enforcement and legislative tracks.
