Bitcoin ETF outflows reached $648.6 million days after the CLARITY Act advanced, turning a policy win into a test of institutional demand.
Key facts
- BlackRock's IBIT accounted for $448.4 million of that exit, followed by $109.6 million from ARKB and $63.4 million from FBTC
- By May 21, CryptoSlate's Bitcoin market data shows BTC around $77,200 after it recovered from the $76,000 area tested on May 18 and May 19
- With BTC around $77,400 after bouncing from the $76,000 area twice, Bitcoin still needs to turn support into follow-through and work back toward $78,000-$80,000
- The April CPI release from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed consumer prices rising 0.6% in April and 3.8% from a year earlier, with energy up 17.9% year over year and gasoline up 28.4%
Summary
The Senate Banking Committee advanced H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, by a 15-9 vote on May 14, sending the market-structure bill toward the Senate floor. CryptoSlate reported that Bitcoin moved back above $81,000 after the vote, a clean headline for bulls who have argued that legal clarity would pull more capital toward digital assets. By May 21, CryptoSlate's Bitcoin market data shows BTC around $77,200 after it recovered from the $76,000 area tested on May 18 and May 19. That rebound keeps support alive while leaving the listed product exit intact.
