Bitcoin slides as US Senate blocks key CLARITY Act vote

AI Market Summary
US Senate failure to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (49–50, short of 60) undermines expectations for near-term federal market-structure legislation. The setback increases regulatory uncertainty and shifts rulemaking toward SEC/CFTC agencies, which may be less durable across administrations. Risk sentiment weakened across major tokens; Bitcoin fell roughly 4% and Hyperliquid’s HYPE also declined, reflecting reduced confidence in a clearer US framework this year.
