  "summary": "US spot bitcoin ETFs lost $450 million, the largest amount since June, after the Senate failed to advance the Clarity Act. According to CoinDesk, this led to a sharp decline in regulatory-sensitive tokens.\n\nThe Clarity Act fell short of the necessary 60 votes in the Senate. As reported by Cointelegraph, four Republican senators and Democratic senators voted against the measure. Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, argued that the bill would allow certain individuals to profit from cryptocurrency while working-class families face economic challenges.\n\nThe failure of the Clarity Act led to a decline in bitcoin demand in the US, with Coinbase Premium dropping to a one-month low. As per Cointelegraph, a negative Coinbase Premium indicates lower demand from Coinbase traders compared to Binance users.",
