XRP<\/strong> is trading around $1.03<\/strong> after a 1.24% decline over the past 24 hours, testing a critical psychological threshold. Meanwhile, inflows into XRP ETF<\/strong> products have plummeted by 79% since May<\/strong>, signaling a gradual institutional retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The root cause? The CLARITY Act<\/strong>, a landmark piece of legislation for digital asset regulation in the United States<\/strong>, remains stalled in the Senate<\/strong>. With Congress not resuming until September 14 at the earliest, the market is left without any near-term regulatory catalyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caught between technical pressure on a key support level and persistent legislative uncertainty, XRP<\/strong> is entering a decisive phase. Here is what the data reveals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CLARITY Act Is Stalling: Why the Senate Is Blocking Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CLARITY Act<\/strong> has made meaningful procedural progress. The House of Representatives<\/strong> passed it in July 2025 with a vote of 294 to 134<\/strong>, and the Senate Banking Committee<\/strong> approved it 15 to 9<\/strong> in May 2026. The bill was placed on the Senate<\/strong> calendar on June 1. But since then, nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune<\/strong> has chosen to prioritize executive nominations and a foreign sanctions package. To invoke cloture and bypass procedural obstruction, Republicans \u2014 who hold 53 seats \u2014 need at least 7 additional Democratic votes<\/strong> to reach the 60-vote threshold. That goal is far from guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sticking points are well defined. On one side, major commercial banks<\/strong> are firmly opposed to the provisions on yield-bearing stablecoins<\/strong><\/a>, which they view as a direct threat to traditional bank deposits. On the other, several Democratic lawmakers are demanding stricter ethics restrictions that would bar executive branch officials from participating in private crypto ventures \u2014 a clause submitted to the White House<\/strong> on July 30. Senator Cynthia Lummis<\/strong> herself has acknowledged that some Republican members remain “genuinely resistant” to passing the bill without further concessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate<\/strong> goes into recess from August 10 to September 11. Without a cloture motion filed before that date, the CLARITY Act<\/strong> will have to compete for space in an already packed fall agenda, particularly against debates over federal government funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $1 Support: The Critical Zone Bulls Cannot Afford to Lose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From a technical standpoint, XRP<\/strong> is trading in a fragile configuration. The token is consolidating just above the psychological support at $1.00<\/strong>, a zone that has historically acted as a floor during correction phases. A break below this level would likely trigger cascading liquidations and a sharp spike in downside volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 79% collapse in XRP ETF<\/a> inflows since May<\/strong> reflects a gradual withdrawal by institutional investors<\/strong>, who are conditioning their allocations on regulatory clarity enshrined in federal law. Agency-level interpretations \u2014 including the treatment of XRP<\/a> as a commodity<\/strong> \u2014 are no longer sufficient to convince asset managers to deploy significant capital. Until Congress<\/strong> codifies these definitions, institutional demand will remain on the sidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market sentiment reflects this forced wait-and-see stance: no bullish momentum, contracting volumes, and price action oscillating within a tight range between $1.00 and $1.10<\/strong>. If the CLARITY Act<\/strong> fails to advance before the September return, XRP<\/strong> risks a downside break of this range, with the next identifiable technical support sitting around $0.85<\/strong>. Conversely, any concrete legislative progress could trigger a swift breakout above $1.20<\/strong>, an intermediate resistance level being closely watched by traders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
