From expanded US Treasury long-duration bond buybacks and key Treasury auctions to the Senate's CLARITY Act vote, the September FOMC meeting, and the Bank of Japan's policy decision, the month could have a major impact on liquidity expectations, yields, risk appetite, and digital asset markets.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵:

📌 September 2 – Broadcom earnings
📌 September 4 – U.S. Employment Situation Report
📌 September 9 – Expanded Treasury long-duration bond buybacks begin
📌 September 9–10 – 10-year and 30-year Treasury auctions
📌 September 11 – U.S. CPI
📌 September 15 – Senate CLARITY Act vote
📌 September 15–16 – Federal Reserve FOMC meeting
📌 September 17 – SEC roundtable on 24-hour US markets
📌 September 17–18 – Bank of Japan meeting

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:
• Iran and Strait of Hormuz developments
• Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows

September's market story goes beyond individual data releases. The interaction between Treasury liquidity, Fed policy, geopolitical risks, regulation, ETF flows, and leverage could determine the direction and intensity of market moves across digital assets.

Investors have access to more information than ever before.

Between YouTube, X, podcasts, newsletters and market commentary, there's no shortage of opinions on what to buy, sell or avoid.

The value comes from knowing how to apply that information to an investment decision.

Understanding why an asset belongs in a portfolio, how much to allocate, what role it plays, and when the original investment thesis has changed is far more valuable than consuming another hour of market content.

That's the philosophy behind Alpha Node Academy and the Digital Asset Investor Program.

The program is designed to help investors build a disciplined investment process using the same structured approach applied by professional advisers and portfolio managers.

One in three Australians now holds crypto. Almost none of it sits within a financial advice relationship.

The Cryptocurrency Index put ownership at 33% in 2026, a record, and 53% among 25 to 34 year-olds. The problem is that most digital assets aren't financial products under the Corporations Act. Financial advisers are licensed to advise on financial products, so they generally can't give personal advice on the crypto their clients hold directly, and most licensees don't allow it.

Europe has the same gap for a different reason. CoinShares surveyed 261 wealth managers and found a quarter couldn't see most of their clients' digital assets, rising to 52% in the UK. There, firm policy blocks the conversation. In Australia, it's mostly the regulation.

It already shows up in SMSFs. Crypto held in SMSFs reached about $3.2 billion by September 2025, up from roughly $200 million when the ATO first tracked it. Smaller funds hold closer to 7% in crypto against a 2% sector average. Advisers oversee these funds but can't advise on the crypto inside them.

Advisers who want to help clients need a licensed provider to work with. Alpha Node partners with financial advisers on digital assets. You work with your clients through our licence, custody, and product infrastructure, instead of taking on the licensing yourself.

If you want a compliant way to meet this demand in your practice, talk to us. https://sites.alphanode.global/an-introductory-call
