Bitcoin Drops After Senate Fails to Reach 60‑Vote Threshold on Crypto Bill

The Senate fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the crypto industry's marquee legislation, and Bitcoin slipped nearly 4% as the vote tally rose.

On Tuesday the U.S. Senate did not achieve the 60‑vote supermajority required to move forward the cryptocurrency‑focused bill that has been the centerpiece of industry lobbying. As the vote count climbed, Bitcoin fell about 3.9%, while many other digital assets posted losses.

Legislative outcome

The Senate vote ended without the 60 votes needed to clear the bill, leaving the legislation stalled for the time being. No further details on the vote count were provided.

Bitcoin (BTC) slid to $76,067, down 3.93% from the previous session. Ethereum (ETH) fell 5.41% to $2,407.74. The broader market saw a wave of declines across major and minor tokens.
