The procedural motion for the CLARITY Act failed to advance with a 49-50 vote, and BTC subsequently dropped from a local high of around $79,900 to below $75,000. On-chain records from AiCoin show that a whale opened a short position of 200 BTC just minutes before the vote results were announced, with an average price of $76,919. The position was fully closed 6 hours and 28 minutes later at $75,875, netting a profit of $209,000. Another address opened a short position of 30 BTC after the results were announced, held it for 6 hours and 45 minutes, and made a profit of approximately $34,000. Two addresses, one betting before the results and one following after, both ultimately closed their positions during the same round of decline.
