Bitcoin Hits $75,000 as CLARITY Act Fails to Advance
The cryptocurrency market experienced significant losses on Wednesday, driven primarily by long-position unwinding in response to the US Senate's failure to advance the CLARITY Act.
Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $75,000 after a 3% decline the previous day. The broader market saw over $600 million in liquidations, with Pi Network and Injective leading losses as the weakest performers.
The CLARITY Act's failure to reach a cloture vote kept crypto market structure legislation in limbo. Both regulatory agencies have indicated they are prepared to pursue changes using existing authority.
