Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices Fall After CLARITY Act Setback and Fed Rate Hike
Bitcoin and Ethereum prices declined following the US Senate's failure to advance the CLARITY Act, a key crypto regulatory bill, and ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike. The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points, marking its first increase in three years, which added pressure on cryptocurrencies by making safer assets more attractive. Despite initial drops and significant ETF outflows, crypto prices showed some recovery, with market experts noting ongoing uncertainty due to inflation, liquidity, and regulatory delays.
