AVAX Price Faces $7 Test as CLARITY Act Shakes Market

AVAX price dropped due to the U.S. Senate's failure to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, testing the $7 support level. If $7 holds, the June 2026 rally remains intact, but a break below could lead to further declines. Meanwhile, Avalanche announced tokenized stocks on its network, expanding DeFi offerings. If $7 support holds, AVAX may target $8.50 and $10.00.
