XRP dropped 9.4% after the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, leaving the cryptocurrency to test critical support at $1.25. While the legislative setback triggered a sell-off, XRP maintains its commodity status and existing spot ETF inflows. Market participants now pivot to the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate decision, with Coinbase and Circle also facing downward pressure.
While Bitcoin's status as a commodity is long-established, XRP's legal standing relied on a court settlement rather than statute. The CLARITY Act was intended to codify this status, making its failure a more significant event for XRP's regulatory certainty.
