Bitcoin drops 2% as South Korea stocks crash and US crypto bill shelved
Bitcoin fell roughly 2% as South Korea's Kospi equity index dropped about 11%, triggering a broad risk-off move across global markets. At the same time, the US Senate set aside the Clarity Act, the main federal bill to define how crypto markets are regulated, leaving the industry without a clear legislative path for now.
Why it matters for the crypto market
A simultaneous macro shock from Asia and the loss of near-term US regulatory progress hit crypto from two directions, making this one of the sharper single-day sell-off triggers of recent weeks.
