Crypto Stocks Rise Despite Failed Clarity Act Vote: Coinbase, Strategy, and Robinhood Tick Up
Coinbase (COIN), MicroStrategy (MSTR), and Robinhood (HOOD) stocks rose despite the U.S. Senate's rejection of the Clarity Act, which aimed to regulate digital assets. IBIT, a Bitcoin ETF, fell 0.2%, while SPY, an S&P 500 ETF, gained 0.35%. The regulatory focus now shifts to the SEC, CFTC, and the Fed's decision.
