Crypto Slide Hits Coinbase Ahead of Key Policy Events

Coinbase stock came under pressure in pre-open trading, falling 4.4% as major cryptocurrencies retreated. Bitcoin declined roughly 2.9% to around $76,834, while Ether registered an even steeper drop, sparking a broad selloff across crypto-related equities.

The move lower in Coinbase coincided with heightened attention on the U.S. Senate, which was set to hold a procedural cloture vote on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The bill is intended to provide more precise token classifications and reduce regulatory ambiguity for crypto-focused firms. The measure requires 60 votes to move forward, and its prospects remained uncertain.
