Bitcoin’s Price Plunges to $75,000 as Senate Votes Against Advancing Crypto CLARITY Act

Bitcoin’s price has plunged to slightly below $75,000 in minutes, losing more than 2.3% throughout the past 24 hours.

The sudden move comes immediately after it became evident that the Digital Asset Markets CLARITY Act will not get the necessary votes to advance without further debate.
