BTC shed 2% as South Korea's Kospi plunged 11% and the U.S. Senate shelved the Clarity Act, leaving the market facing a pivotal Fed decision on Wednesday.

  • Bitcoin fell around 2% during the U.S. overnight session as South Korea's Kospi stock index plunged 11%, one of its worst single-day declines in years
  • The slide rattled global risk assets, hitting AI and layer-1 tokens hardest, with FET, NEAR and HYPE losing as much as 10% over 24 hours.
  • The U.S. Senate shelved the Crypto Clarity Act to prioritize a Russia sanctions bill and federal nominations, leaving just two weeks of floor time before the Aug. 8 recess begins and a key unresolved dispute over restrictions on government officials' crypto holdings.
