AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Bitcoin rose to about $72,000, its highest since June, driven by easing yields and a $2.7 billion crypto short-squeeze, with White House backing the Clarity Act. Crypto equities like Coinbase and Circle followed higher in premarket trading. The key near-term catalyst is Senate action by Sept. 15 and whether the bill passes this year, which could shift risk appetite and impact broader markets.
