Bitcoin drops as South Korean stocks tumble, Senate shelves crypto Clarity Act
coindesk.com Jul 28, 2026

Bitcoin BTC$63,409.69 has lost 0.53% since midnight UTC, having shed around 2% during the U.S. session overnight.

First, chipmaking stocks tumbled in South Korea, dragging the benchmark Kospi stock index down 11%. The drop, one of its worst single-day declines in years, sent shockwaves across global risk assets.

And on the regulatory front, the U.S. Senate shelved the Crypto Clarity Act for now, opting to prioritize a Russia sanctions bill and federal nominations with just two weeks remaining before the summer recess begins on Aug. 8. The bill's fate this year is now genuinely uncertain.

Ether (ETH) fell 0.56% to $1,880 having failed to rise through the psychological level of $2,000 on Monday. Both the Fed's interest-rate decision on Wednesday and the Senate's remaining floor time loom large over the market this week.

Traditional markets are broadly lower, with Nasdaq 100 index futures down 0.70%, gold shedding 0.93% and silver off 1.50%.

Markets repositioned since June, but Binance held share (~55% user funds, ~24% spot) and drew net inflows in early July while the tracked market saw outflows.
