Bitcoin and Crypto Stocks Fall After Senate Blocks CLARITY Act
Bitcoin and crypto-related equities fell sharply on Tuesday after the Senate voted down the Trump-backed CLARITY Act in a 49-50 vote, failing to reach the required 60-vote threshold. Bitcoin dropped nearly 4 percent to $75,700, while spot exchange-traded funds recorded $450 million in outflows. The legislation faced a united block from Democrats and Republicans, delivering a major blow to the crypto industry which had viewed Donald Trump as its savior.

The crypto industry had pinned high hopes on the legislative package, which also intersected with Donald Trump's own crypto business ventures. The rejection caused immediate market turbulence, dragging down major digital assets and associated equities.
