U.S. Senate banking panel CLARITY bill lifts bitcoin on hopes of clearer rules

Bitcoin jumped to $81,000 after the U.S. Senate Banking Committee approved the CLARITY bill. The measure passed 15 to 9, mostly along party lines, with two Democrats voting in favor. The bill must still pass the House before going to President Donald Trump if lawmakers agree on a final text. Crypto industry groups broadly support the push for clearer rules, while banks raise concerns over stablecoin rewards and potential deposit outflows.
