XRP surged over 5% after the U.S. Senate Banking Committee approved the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, a key bill aiming to regulate digital assets in the U.S. This legislation could reduce regulatory uncertainty that has long affected XRP, especially following the SEC's 2020 lawsuit against Ripple Labs. The bill's progress has boosted market optimism and institutional interest, with XRP Ledger seeing over $3 billion in tokenized assets and recent pilot projects with major firms like JPMorgan. While the bill still needs full Senate, House, and presidential approval, clearer regulations and growing institutional adoption are seen as major drivers for XRP's future price movements in 2026.
