Bitcoin rose 2% on CLARITY progress while Coinbase, Circle jumped over 8% – but why?CLARITY’s market impact falls on tokens, exchanges, and DeFi, with Bitcoin still driven by liquidity, ETF demand, and macro conditions.
Happy Thursday!Bitcoin rose 2% as CLARITY progress lifted sentiment, but the bigger market signal is that clearer rules are increasingly helping exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and DeFi names more than Bitcoin itself.
