Bitcoin Holds $64K as Polymarket Cuts CLARITY Odds to 15%

Bitcoin remained firmly above $64,000, experiencing intraday swings between $63,900 and $64,706. These price movements resulted in $148 million in short liquidations, part of a larger $216 million crypto market trend. Simultaneously, Polymarket odds for the passage of the CLARITY Act fell to between 15% and 16% before the Senate deadline. This decline underscores the United States' ongoing challenges in creating a cohesive crypto regulatory framework, which potentially threatens its global competitiveness.
