The domination of bitcoin along with the growth of BTC has also rebounded significantly. Because of this factor, the bulk of the alts behaves extremely restrained on the current growth. Only a small part of the coins react with growth, which are stronger than the market and which were well held even before the growth of bitcoin at any market fluctuations.
Against the background of this movement, it is extremely dangerous to consider the longs on the altos now. With such domination, the slightest kickbacks on bitcoin will hit other coins hard. Especially given the fact that this rebound should end soon.

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee has postponed the finalisation of the CLARITY Act on the structure of the crypto market. The reason is that the Coinbase exchange has publicly withdrawn support for the document, stating that in its current form it will do more harm than good to the industry.
According to industry players and some senators, the bill contains a number of controversial provisions: an actual ban on tokenised shares, strict restrictions on DeFi with risks to financial confidentiality, as well as the redistribution of powers in favour of the SEC by weakening the role of the CFTC.
The head of the committee Tim Scott recognised that there were too many disagreements to move on. Republicans in the Senate also stated that CLARITY in its current form "does not serve the interests of the crypto industry", and therefore the discussion and edits have been postponed indefinitely.
