Bitcoin price extended recovery On Thursday, as a landmark US cryptocurrency bill cleared a major hurdle in the Senate, bitcoin-linked credit products hit new milestones. Bitcoin price was trading near $81,400 with intraday highs around $82,000, up more than 3% over the past 24 hours on more than $1 billion in spot trading volume.
Senate Banking Committee advanced The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act passed 15 to 9, with Sens. Ruben Gallego of Arizona and Angela Albrooks of Maryland joining all 13 Republicans. The bill, known as HR 3633, seeks to establish a federal framework for digital asset trading, stablecoins, and brokers, split oversight between the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and establish registration, disclosure, and compliance rules for exchanges, brokers, and custodians.
Chairman Tim Scott described tokenization as a turning point after years in which cryptocurrency companies faced a “regulatory gray area” under rules designed for previous markets, and framed the bill as a way to keep innovation within the United States while tightening controls on criminal use of digital assets. Senator Cynthia Lummis, who leads the committee’s Digital Assets Committee, called the Clarity Act the most difficult bill of her career and a “first impression case” for incorporating new software-based assets into existing financial law.
Ranking member Elizabeth Warren led the opposition and argued that the bill weakens securities protections, preempts state anti-fraud rules and allows banks to build large exposures to cryptocurrencies, which she linked to pre-2008 risk patterns.
She said the framework “declares open season” on consumers and described it as “industry-specific” and “not ready,” while allies have raised ethical and national security concerns linked to President Donald Trump’s crypto businesses, mixers and stablecoins.
