Bitcoin Slumps as CLARITY Act Fails to Advance, AlphaPepe Presale Moves Forward

The Bitcoin price has dropped towards $76K after the CLARITY Act failed to advance in the Senate, triggering ETF outflows and a broader risk-off move across crypto markets.

This setback has sent traders into risk-off mode, waiting for clearer regulatory signals. Meanwhile, AlphaPepe is moving forward with its presale, which is currently at Stage 20 at $0.03020, with over $2.69M raised and 11,800+ holders before the presale closes and DEX launch takes place in Q1 2027.

The listing price for AlphaPepe starts from $0.08, giving retail buyers an entry point before public price discovery begins. Additionally, AlphaSwap Auto-Trade registration opens on Saturday, September 19, allowing eligible $ALPE holders to prepare for the beta launch of Claude-powered Auto-Trade features.
