Bitcoin Price Slumps Below $76,000 Amid US Crypto Clarity Act Uncertainty
The price of Bitcoin has fallen below $76,000 due to uncertainty over the progress of the U.S. Crypto Clarity Act.
The decline came as optimism faded over the prospects of major U.S. crypto market-structure legislation advancing in the Senate.
Rising oil prices and expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve's policy decision also weighed on the cryptocurrency, which fell to around $75,568.
Senate Republicans released a revised draft of the bill over the weekend, incorporating changes requested by Democrats, but negotiations stalled after Democrats responded with a counteroffer seeking further adjustments.
