The post 3 Altcoins That Benefit Most From the CLARITY Act and Why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The Crypto Market Structure Bill, CLARITY Act, passed the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. The vote sends the crypto market structure bill toward a full Senate floor test and resets risk profiles for altcoin holders. Three tokens stand out as direct beneficiaries with profiles that fit the bill’s grandfather clauses, decentralization tests, and DeFi protections. Meanwhile, XRP, Solana, and Hyperliquid each align with the mechanics that the legislation favors. XRP Lands a Path Out of SEC Limbo XRP, the native asset of the Ripple network, sits closest to the bill’s grandfather clause. That language fast-tracks commodity status for tokens with approved or pending ETF products, sidestepping the full mature-blockchain test. Historically, secondary-market XRP sales have drawn SEC scrutiny. The bill ends that exposure for tokens meeting the new commodity definition. XRP Price Performan
CharuSan XRP, a market analyst, believes the XRP price could rise immediately to $300 once banks begin using it as a global settlement asset. The analyst framed this high price as a basic requirement for XRP to function as a global payment rail, not a speculative move. Furthermore, CharuSan noted that people who believe Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD could serve as a settlement layer instead of XRP are completely missing the point, citing supply dynamics to support his claims. XRP Price Forecasted To Jump To $300 After CLARITY Act In an X post this week, CharuSan predicted that XRP could rise to $300 shortly after the Digital Asset CLARITY Act is passed. If this happens, he believes that banks will begin adopting XRP globally, increasing demand for the token and likely fueling a price surge as more capital flows through it.

How much XRP is actually enough? Analyst Zach Rector tackled it directly this week, and his answer depends entirely on what you are trying to achieve and how long you are willing to wait. Wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP just hit an all-time high of 332,230 according to Santiment data, a record that has been building consistently since June 2024. Even through volatility and sideways price action, larger holders have kept accumulating. The Two Timelines Rector ran two scenarios for a 10,000 XRP position purchased today at approximately $1.44, a total investment of around $14,400. Conservative timeline: XRP reaches $10 this year giving a $100,000 portfolio, climbs to $50 by 2029 for

The post Bitcoin And XRP Climb On CLARITY Act News—But Clear Path To Law Isn’t Done Yet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Cryptocurrency markets rallied sharply on Thursday after the Senate Banking Committee delivered a major win for the industry by advancing the long-anticipated CLARITY Act. The market reaction was visible across the largest coins: Bitcoin (BTC) jumped to $81,899 at the time of writing, representing about a 2.7% gain, while XRP led among the top ten cryptocurrencies, surging above $1.50 with gains of more than 6%—a level not seen since March of this year. Even with the momentum, the bill is still not law, and it faces multiple political and procedural hurdles before it can be finalized. Next Steps For The CLARITY Act The committee’s action—passing the CLARITY Act by a 15–9 vote—means the next step is a full Senate vote, which would require roughly 60 votes to pass. If it clears that threshold, the process would move into the next phase, typically involving House
