Bitcoin under renewed pressure as looming Fed hike adds to woes | Stock Market News
Crypto markets came under renewed pressure on Wednesday after the US Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act, a crypto market-structure bill. Bitcoin steadied near $75,900, while US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw over $450 million in outflows. With the Federal Reserve expected to raise rates, risk assets may stay weak, so check your exposure calmly.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The US Senate did not advance the Clarity Act, a crypto market-structure bill that had been under consideration for over a year.
- US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw more than $450 million in net outflows on Tuesday, the largest single-day withdrawals since June.
- Markets are pricing in a better-than-90% chance that the Federal Reserve will raise rates by 25 basis points.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Crypto prices may stay choppy for now, so review how much of your money sits in crypto and avoid borrowing to invest. Speak to your tax advisor before you buy or sell, since the tax treatment of your gains depends on your own holding records.
