XRP underperforms as Senate delays Clarity Act vote
XRP fell 2.05% as the Senate postponed voting on the Clarity Act to September, leaving the token's regulatory status uncertain while other major cryptocurrencies shrugged off the news.
The Senate adjourned without taking up the Clarity Act, pushing the vote on market structure to at least September. While Bitcoin remained flat and Dogecoin gained 1.38%, XRP dropped 2.05% to become the only major top-10 token closing in the red, extending a weekly decline of 3% that makes it the weakest performer.
The delay carries particular weight for XRP. The token's 2025–2026 rally thesis hinged on the United States finally settling its regulatory classification. The Clarity Act would sort cryptocurrencies into securities and commodities, and draft versions would reclassify XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin as non-securities, moving them under CFTC oversight rather than SEC jurisdiction. For Ripple, which created XRP, this represented the prize sought through years of litigation against the SEC over whether XRP constituted an unregistered security. Though Ripple settled with the SEC for $50 million, statutory clarity would resolve the question for all exchanges, custodians, and regulators simultaneously. Without it, XRP remains in legal limbo.
Technically, XRP trades at $1.028, marking the second-lowest print on the daily chart since early 2024, above only a $0.9153 low set last month. The token has been in a strong bearish trend since 2025 when it reached $3. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages have formed a death cross, with price now below both, leaving no average to act as support. The Relative Strength Index reads 35.9, indicating bearish momentum with room for further downside. The Average Directional Index at 11.9 suggests the move lacks conviction.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
