Its failure to advance leaves that wider market-structure push unresolved and denies supporters an immediate path to floor debate.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate\u2019s official schedule had set the vote for approximately 2:15 p.m. ET. The outcome fell well short of the required supermajority, turning a closely watched policy test into a new source of uncertainty for crypto businesses and investors.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin\u2019s decline started before the tally<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin hit an intraday low<\/a> of $74,967.97 on Sept. 15, after already falling below $76,000 before the vote. The altcoin market cap tumbled 3.6% in the same period, but managed to stay above $1.15 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Traders were also preparing for a Federal Reserve decision, adding another source of pressure across risk assets.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/fed-chair-kevin-warsh-triggers-a-488-million-crypto-liquidation-cascade-as-rate-hike-expectations-rise\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Fed Chair Kevin Warsh triggers a $488 million crypto liquidation cascade as rate-hike expectations rise<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The chronology shows that political disappointment arrived in a market already moving lower.
