U.S. investors withdrew $729 million from spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds over two days, driven by potential Federal Reserve rate hikes and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East involving Iran.
Bitcoin prices surged past $86,000, gaining nearly 7% over 24 hours, even after lawmakers blocked the long-awaited Clarity Act amid Democratic opposition to the Trump family's crypto holdings.
Bitcoin prices stabilized after an expected Federal Reserve rate hike by the U.S. central bank, lifting the benchmark rate to between 3.75% and 4% amid ongoing inflation concerns.
Following the Senate defeat of the Clarity Act, CFTC Chair Mike Selig announced that the regulatory agency will use its existing statutory authorities to draft and advance new cryptocurrency rules.
The U.S. Senate rejected the Clarity Act in a 49-50 procedural vote, effectively ending its 2026 hopes and causing Bitcoin's price to decline sharply following concerns raised by lawmakers like Elizabeth Warren.
Senator Cynthia Lummis thanked President Donald Trump for accepting strict ethics restrictions to help secure passage for the upcoming Clarity Act vote, which aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets.
