Clarity Act Stalls, Crypto Dives: XRP Plunges 10% While Bitcoin Slips Toward $76K
Market Flash Update 🚨
The U.S. crypto market took a sharp hit after the Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act, falling short in a 49-50 procedural cloture vote. The legislative gridlock triggered broad liquidations across major assets:
XRP: Led the losses among majors, sinking nearly 10% to $1.30.
Ethereum (ETH) & Solana (SOL): Both dropped roughly 5%, trading down to ~$2,410 and just above $97, respectively.
Bitcoin (BTC): Slipped nearly 3%, sliding down toward the $76,000 threshold.
Why Did the Bill Fail?
Negotiators hit a brick wall over strict ethics provisions. Lawmakers like Senator Elissa Slotkin voted against the measure, arguing that the ethics guardrails—particularly concerning government officials and crypto business interests—were too thin, alongside gaps in anti-money laundering enforcement and CFTC staffing.
With comprehensive market structure legislation stalled, market attention is shifting back to how the SEC and CFTC will handle regulatory enforcement moving forward.
