XRP Price as CLARITY Act Faces Another Senate Delay

XRP price traded near $1.42 on Sunday, gaining 0.71% as cryptocurrency markets steadied after a volatile week.

Bitcoin price hovered at around $79,973, and Ethereum was at $2,499 as the market awaits the FOMC meeting on September 15-16th.

Nevertheless, XRP remained vulnerable to Washington politics with another Senate postponement of the CLARITY Act.

The legislation could define regulatory roles for the Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

CLARITY Act Delay Extends Regulatory Uncertainty

Senators postponed action before recess after lawmakers failed to settle several political and policy disagreements.

The Senate returns September 14, leaving lawmakers a narrow window before election campaigning further limits available floor time.

Any procedural cloture vote would require 60 senators, making bipartisan support essential for the bill to advance.

🇺🇸 CLARITY Act Could Be Delayed AGAIN

The U.S. House just canceled its final two September voting weeks, leaving lawmakers with only 4 days to get work done before the midterms.

That puts the CLARITY Act in a much tighter spot.

Disputes include ethics restrictions, stablecoin rewards, decentralized finance protections, and the balance between financial regulators.

The postponement does not formally defeat the measure, but it reduces time for negotiations and possible House reconciliation.

XRP held above $1.40 despite the setback, suggesting buyers still defend the token’s immediate support area.

Bitcoin’s ability to remain near $80,000 and Ethereum’s hold around $2,500 could also influence XRP’s next direction.

Traders will watch Senate scheduling updates closely, because further delays may keep regulatory uncertainty attached to XRP.

XRP ETFs Hold $1.48 Billion in Assets Despite Zero Daily Inflows

On September 4, XRP spot exchange-traded funds had no daily net inflows, but cumulative inflows stood at $1.68 billion. Total net assets amounted to 1.69% of the overall market capitalization of XRP, totaling $1.48 billion. 

Trading activity totaled $36.21 million as every listed fund closed lower during the session. Franklin’s XRPZ posted the steepest decline at 4.94%, narrowly exceeding Bitwise’s XRP fund’s 4.86% loss. Bitwise continued to dominate the market in general, with a net asset of $507.47 million and reported cumulative inflows of 599.31 million.

Will XRP Price Hold $1.40 Support Before Its Next Rally?

The XRP price traded at $1.41 after holding above the important $1.40 support level on the four-hour chart. 

The XRP price kept consolidating above $1.40, which indicates that buyers are still active within the immediate support of the market. The RSI was 54.92, with a balanced momentum and a slight bullish inclination.  

The MACD line fell a little below its signal line, which indicated a lower short-term momentum. A four-hour close above $1.50 would prove the resurgence of demand and create an avenue to $1.60. The inability to hold $1.40 may lead to increased selling pressure and the lower support target of $1.30.
