XRP falls 41% despite major catalysts
XRP has fallen 41% in 2026, from $1.84 to $1.09, despite the SEC and CFTC classifying it as a commodity.
The infrastructure to support a higher XRP price exists, with over 300 financial institutions on RippleNet and $1.43 billion in cumulative inflows.
The CLARITY Act’s passage timeline is tight, with a hard deadline of the August recess, and macro conditions are also crashing, with BTC down 25.5% over 30 days.
If the $1 support cracks, $0.75 to $0.85 is the next support zone, with deeper bearish scenarios down to $0.53.
