XRP News Today: XRP Slips to $1.07 as CLARITY Act’s Senate Odds Crash to 28%

Last Updated: July 30, 2026

XRP is trading at $1.07 on July 30, 2026, down modestly on the day and extending a rougher week as the CLARITY Act — market-structure legislation closely watched by the Ripple ecosystem — loses momentum in the Senate. Prediction-market odds on the bill’s passage this year have fallen sharply, adding a fresh headwind to an asset that had been leaning on regulatory optimism for support.

Key Takeaways

• XRP trades at $1.07, up 0.14% over the past hour but down 0.82% on the day and 5.09% over the past week.
• The CLARITY Act’s Senate passage odds on Polymarket fell to 28%, down from 48% earlier this month, after lawmakers missed their self-imposed August deadline.
• XRP’s market cap stands at $67.35 billion, with 24-hour trading volume of $1.29 billion.
• BlackRock has publicly backed the CLARITY Act, a bill Ripple has also lobbied for, keeping institutional attention on the legislation despite its stalled timeline.
• XRP has underperformed the broader market over the past week, falling more than both Bitcoin and Ethereum on a 7-day basis.

XRP Price Today

XRP has struggled more than most large-cap assets this week, down over 5% on a 7-day basis even as Bitcoin and Ethereum have held closer to flat. The immediate pressure traces to the CLARITY Act’s stalled Senate timeline: the bill, which industry figures including Ripple have pushed as a path to regulatory clarity for market structure, lost its shot at an August vote after the Senate prioritized an unrelated Russia sanctions package instead.

Why Is XRP Underperforming This Week?

The CLARITY Act’s stall removed a key optimism catalyst. XRP has repeatedly rallied on signs of progress toward the bill, which would clarify how digital assets are regulated in the U.S. With the Senate now unlikely to vote before the fall, some of that built-up optimism has unwound, pressuring price even as institutional backers like BlackRock remain supportive of the legislation.

Rising yields and dollar strength add extra pressure. As a bridge-currency-focused asset, XRP tends to be more sensitive than most cryptocurrencies to moves in traditional fixed-income and currency markets. The Fed’s hawkish tone this week has lifted yields modestly, creating an additional headwind.

Broader risk-off sentiment following the Fed decision. With the FOMC’s 9-3 vote split signaling more hawkish resolve than markets expected, altcoins with a heavier reliance on regulatory-catalyst narratives — like XRP — have underperformed larger, more liquidity-driven assets like Bitcoin.

What This Means for the Days Ahead

XRP’s near-term path likely hinges more on legislative headlines than on technical levels alone. Any sign of the CLARITY Act regaining Senate momentum — or a firm new timeline emerging after the August recess — could quickly reverse this week’s pullback. Absent that, watch the $1.00 support zone as the key level; a break below would mark a notable shift in the asset’s recent trading range.
