Bitcoin climbs to $72,000 as markets debate whether the U.S. Clarity Act tailwinds are already priced in.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin climbed to around $72,300 during the early Thursday European session, driven by U.S. President Trump's renewed call for Congress to pass the "Clarity Act," a crypto market structure bill, amid growing institutional interest. Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, stated that regulatory clarity in the United States could boost confidence in the crypto market within the world's largest economy and channel capital back from the AI and semiconductor sectors into digital assets.
