Bitcoin Drops Ahead of Senate Clarity Act Vote

Bitcoin fell 2.39% to around $76,314 on Tuesday, testing lower levels as traders grew cautious ahead of a key Senate procedural vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The cloture vote, scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET, requires 60 votes to advance debate on the bill, a threshold that appears uncertain. The drop coincided with broader market risk-off sentiment ahead of a Federal Reserve interest rate decision.
