Senate Fails to Advance Crypto Bill, Coinbase Slides 9%
COIN sits 25% above its 52-week low of $139.11.
Summary
The U.S. Senate failed to advance comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation, a major setback for digital asset companies. Coinbase shares fell about 9% on the news, while Bitcoin dropped roughly 4% to $75,908. This regulatory blow comes after Coinbase's Q2 loss of $359.5 million and 700 layoffs, deepening the company's challenges. The bill's failure removes a near-term catalyst for clearer U.S. crypto rules, leaving Coinbase's regulatory path uncertain. Traders should watch for any renewed legislative efforts or executive actions that could revive the bill's provisions.
