Jake Claver, Chairman of Digital Ascension Group, argues that XRP's next major price move may not depend on the awaited CLARITY Act or new US legislation. Instead, he points to ongoing regulatory progress, such as the SEC and CFTC moving toward classifying XRP as a digital commodity, and growing institutional interest following the resolution of the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit. Claver highlights that real momentum for XRP is coming from increasing adoption by financial institutions and blockchain integration into traditional finance, especially in cross-border payments. This suggests XRP's future growth may be driven more by execution and market adoption than by new laws, marking a potential turning point for the token in 2026.
