It\u2019s about protecting everyday Americans who deserve clear rules when they participate in the multi-trillion dollar crypto economy. 67 million Americans already hold crypto. The data is in. It\u2019s time,\u201d Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty said in a post.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the Clarity Act would actually do<\/h2>\n<p>The bill would establish which regulator \u2014 the SEC or the CFTC \u2014 has jurisdiction over specific digital assets, ending the enforcement-by-ambiguity approach that has defined US crypto oversight since 2017. Crypto.news explored why the legislation matters more to XRP than to almost any other asset.<\/p>\n<p>The Clarity Act would formally classify named tokens including XRP as digital commodities, removing legal uncertainty that has kept institutional capital on the sidelines. Analysts at Standard Chartered estimate the bill could unlock $4 to $8 billion in additional XRP ETF inflows alone.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why this bipartisan vote matters<\/h3>\n<p>The 15-9 result marks the first time a comprehensive crypto market structure bill has cleared the Senate Banking Committee with cross-party support. Every Republican voted yes, alongside two Senate Democrats despite opposition from Elizabeth Warren.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the momentum, the bill still needs 60 floor votes to clear a filibuster. It then faces reconciliation between the Banking and Agriculture Committee versions before alignment with the House text from July 2025.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What still has to happen before it becomes law<\/h3>\n<p>Crypto.news has tracked Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse warning the bill\u2019s chances drop sharply if lawmakers fail to act before campaign season. Senators Lummis and Moreno have both warned that failure in 2026 means the next window is 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The XRP price page tracks market reaction against that legislative backdrop in real time.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty says the Clarity Act could unlock a multi-trillion dollar US crypto market.
