Bitcoin Prices Rise 10% as President Trump Calls on Congress to Pass Crypto Law

Bitcoin climbed to $72,300 as traders weighed whether Trump’s renewed Clarity Act push can add more fuel to a rally already driven by returning capital.

  • Bitcoin rallied to $72,300 on Thursday morning, a day after President Donald Trump urged Congress to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act at a White House crypto event.
  • Money previously invested in AI-tied stocks and SpaceX is returning to digital assets as market momentum shifts. Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, noted the capital exodus from semiconductors has begun reversing.
  • The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is working to bring decentralized exchange Hyperliquid into the US 'in a fully compliant legal fashion.' Trump stated Congress needs to 'take the next step' by approving the legislation.
  • Ghoos told CoinDesk the Clarity Act will "blow new life into crypto enthusiasm and trust in the biggest economy in the world." Haider Rafique countered that the market already priced in regulation-inspired optimism.
  • The Clarity Act faces a final Senate window next month before the November elections. Trump also paused tariffs on certain Canadian goods on Tuesday, potentially reshaping trade negotiations for the US-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement.
