Bitcoin slid from nearly $80,000 on Tuesday as the U.S. Senate held a procedural vote on the crypto market structure bill, commonly referred to as the Clarity Act.
Bitcoin had touched $79,530 overnight before giving back 3%. It was not immediately the top performer — XRP and Zcash were the only major cryptocurrencies posting gains during the session.
Further verified details on the outcome of the procedural vote and subsequent market movement were not immediately available.
