XRP Beat Bitcoin Gains as CLARITY Act Advanced, but a Real Bullrun Still Needs Congress

The token gained 6.6% to $1.54 as traders bet clearer rules could draw more institutional money and boost spot XRP products.

  • On Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee advanced the CLARITY Act in a 15-9 vote, with XRP rallying 6.6% to a session high of $1.54 and briefly breaking above the $1.50 resistance level.
  • Years of legal uncertainty surrounding XRP prompted the regulatory push, as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act aims to establish whether tokens should be treated as commodities or securities in the United States.
  • SoSoValue data shows XRP holding above a key moving average zone around $1.42 to $1.48, with the RSI hovering around the mid-50s to 60 range and volume surging to over 21 million.
  • Market sentiment has improved following steady inflows into spot XRP ETFs, as investors believe clearer legal structures may allow regulated financial institutions to interact with XRP more freely through custody and settlement.
  • Traders are watching for a breakout above $1.50 toward the $1.65 to $1.80 range if regulatory momentum continues, though the asset's direction ultimately depends on how the full Senate handles the bill.
