Bitcoin ETFs See $450 Million In Outflows After Clarity Act Vote
Bitcoin ETFs experienced $450 million in outflows after the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Bitcoin's price dropped 4% to below $76,000. The failure impacts crypto-related stocks like Coinbase (COIN) and MicroStrategy (MSTR). The Fed's expected rate hike may further pressure Bitcoin.
