Bitcoin hits $82,000, crypto stocks gain

Bitcoin surged past the $82,000 mark, propelling gains across the cryptocurrency market, with Coinbase notably leading the advance in crypto-related stocks. This upward momentum is partly attributed to the progress of the Clarity Act, which aims to provide regulatory clarity for the digital asset space. The positive sentiment in crypto markets is further bolstered by the successful public debut of AI chipmaker Cerebras, indicating a broader positive trend that is also influencing traditional financial markets.
