Bitwise CIO Revises Market Outlook Following Senate CLARITY Act Setback

According to reporting by crypto.news and LBank News, Bitcoin climbed above $80,000 before the United States Senate rejected the CLARITY Act, prompting Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan to revise his market outlook. The Senate rejected cloture by a 49-50 margin, leaving the crypto market structure bill short of the sixty votes required to advance. Meanwhile, leaders at the SEC and CFTC stated that existing statutory authority still permits additional cryptocurrency rulemaking without new legislation. Financial institutions continued product rollouts, including Robinhood launching its own blockchain and Morgan Stanley introducing Solana and Ether exchange-traded products in July. Bitcoin subsequently traded near $76,300 following the vote-driven selloff and a Federal Reserve interest rate increase, though these market developments are not officially confirmed by legislative authorities.
