Bitcoin Holds Ground as CLARITY Vote Fails; XRP Leads Crypto Selloff

Bitcoin slid to about $75,800 after the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, a roughly 1.5% drop driven more by macro factors than BTC’s regulatory status. XRP sagged nearly 8% while Coinbase fell around 8–9% in the same session, indicating the regulatory setback hit crypto intermediaries more than the coin itself. Traders will look for Bitcoin to reclaim $78,189 to price out the discount, with key supports near $75k, $74k and $72k as macro pressures like rates and oil continue to weigh on risk assets.
