Bitcoin Falls 3% to $76,000 as Odds of US CLARITY Act Passing This Year Fade

The move suggests crypto prices are still trading on US legislative odds as much as on flows, with a market-structure bill functioning as a sentiment anchor rather than a near-term catalyst. That matters most for US-facing venues and token issuers whose compliance planning has been framed around clearer federal rules, since a stalled bill leaves the existing patchwork intact. Whether the CLARITY Act's timeline firms up again, or whether the market starts pricing a longer delay, is the open question.
