When the full story of this is told, I suspect some lawyer or group of lawyers in the US Attorney's Office feared for their bar licenses and forced the dismissal and disclosure. trump, of course, doesn't care about anyone but himself, so he continues his lies.

Bitcoin Drops as Market Awaits CLARITY Act Vote and ETF Flow Shifts

Bitcoin fell 3.25% over the past 24 hours to roughly $62,868 on August 1, with the broader crypto market losing 2.4% to a total capitalization of $2.25 trillion. Trading volume across all digital assets reached $63.9 billion, as fear sentiment gripped traders already contending with uncertain macro conditions and a historically weak seasonal period for BTC entering August. The sell-off arrived as analysts at CoinDesk noted that forced selling appears largely exhausted, though traders remain cautious ahead of incoming jobs data and lingering rate-hike fears. Bitcoin's dominance held at 56% of total market cap, while Polkadot and assets tied to the XRP Ledger ecosystem were among the few notable gainers on the day. ## CLARITY Act Clock Ticks Toward August 10 Deadline With the Senate's summer recess approaching, the crypto industry is watching Washington closely. The CLARITY Act would determine whether the $2.28 trillion industry receives a permanent regulatory framework in 2026, dividing oversight of digital assets between the SEC and the CFTC while establishing rules for exchanges, token issuers, and some DeFi platforms. August 7 is the Senate's last working day before recess, making it the real deadline for a floor vote, with August 10 serving as the date the window visibly closes for outside observers. The bill passed the House in July 2025 and cleared the Senate Banking Committee in May 2026, but has not yet received a full Senate floor vote. Failure to pass before recess would push the effort into 2027, an election-shadowed year, leaving the industry to operate under the current patchwork of agency guidance. Crypto.news reported that as of late July, the CLARITY Act faces its most consequential moment yet, with the outcome determining whether existing agency classifications become permanent law. Meanwhile, Russia announced it will extend its cryptocurrency mining ban to Moscow, Moscow Oblast, and parts of Kursk starting August 15, with restrictions running through December 31, 2032, adding another layer of global regulatory pressure to the week's headlines. On the institutional side, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated $58.72 billion in total net inflows since their January 2024 launch, according to Intellectia.ai, signaling sustained long-term demand even as recent sessions saw notable outflows. BlackRock's IBIT alone absorbed a single-day hit of $448.36 million during a recent wave of institutional risk reduction, while Ark and 21Shares' ARKB followed with $109.64 million in outflows and Fidelity's FBTC shed $63.42 million. Analysts project Bitcoin ETF assets under management could reach $180 to $220 billion by year-end if inflow momentum recovers, a target that would require a sustained return of institutional capital that has so far remained cautious.
