Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Regulatory clarity optimism often correlates with short-term BTC inflows and price spikes; past episodes show spikes when US policy signals favor crypto. A confirmed passage or progress on CLARITY Act tends to lift BTC and altcoins temporarily, though Senate risk can cap gains.
