The U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act on September 15, falling short 49-50 in a procedural cloture vote, and the crypto market\u2019s leveraged bulls paid almost immediately, especially in BTC USD and Ethereum.<\/p>\n

Exchanges liquidated roughly $571M in bullish futures positions over the following 24 hours, according to CoinGlass data, with BTC and ETH longs each absorbing approximately $215M of that total.<\/p>\n

$632.87M liquidated from the crypto market in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

$526.10M were longs
$106.77M were shorts<\/p>\n

That means around 83% of liquidations came from long positions.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin traded near $75,800 in the latest CoinGecko snapshot, down about -2% over 24 hours, after Reuters reported the asset fell more than 5% at one stage as the Senate outcome became clear.<\/p>\n

Here is the tension worth tracking: is this a routine leverage flush that clears out over-positioned longs, or the first sign that markets are pricing in a longer wait for U.S. crypto regulatory clarity?<\/p>\n
