BTC has fallen below its May 6th peak last week of $82,849 USDT ------------------- ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darkflame/23t77MEjSg9mdFCyyhWKU6GnVB9YZLR9Ci57VUBWtDzyLx9dqanaPmGgUsAPGjGoga9qX.png) https://www.bitget.com/trading-bot/spot/BTCUSDT #### Down to 76,562 USDT now on May 19th 2026 ![BTCicon.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darkflame/23wMq6DwPDWiio6NyaU3KQHEjb3ARbbeZ4ZU7G2xjR4hbHXQrx5TcG9H4gvi9ussDYJoH.png) Last week the buzz was all about the CLARITY ACT, > "The US Senate Banking Committee passed the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act by a 15-9 vote, advancing a comprehensive crypto-regulation bill to the Senate floor. The updated 309-page draft includes over 100 amendments, notably a key compromise on stablecoin yield and revisions concerning decentralized finance (DeFi) oversight.'*Google While the Text is available, it requires significant study, even without the amendments that they were voting for/against last week. It still needs to be passed by the Senate, and then signed by the President. What will this mean for Bitcoin, and other chains? --------------------------- BTC Market Cap Dominance is 58.29%, down from 58.37% 5 days ago. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darkflame/23uFTmSFd9Q9minWaNuXeM8SZ7pFp9A7FeX8uvhHUS6JVNSJ6gqagf9rRLFchSr8Eu6Cd.png) https://coinmarkets.today/ ------------------ ![083d5ed024cbf561dd91e5243f9d10fa.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darkflame/Eo45KXXkN9EtGjtPRBwQgjDHyVJsm8tpYNfe62Z6Ju8x29GouaxpjuHeKkMUSxmGEZQ.jpg) ----------------- In the BTC Explorer you can find the Latest Blocks ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darkflame/EoEwpm9eRKwqTTmSrxEbapwkr15U7SH7nyT6FybS5ESBmQWMD789wqYjAY3BfSzKdjZ.png) # Latest Block: 950,156 Bitfeed is a great visualization of the latest blocks, and you can watch the pending tx's stack up in the Mempool below. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/darkflame/EogNFrsXCDd5XeRLxg6T4HZ7y95Y6orZNCjBWriBSZx2VCSyUu9oDo4dYFP7ph4Yb4c.png) https://bits.monospace.live/ > "A total of 1,555.93 BTC ($119,198,852) were sent in the block with the average transaction being 0.2723 BTC ($20,860.68).
