CLARITY Act timeline don push go May 2026 as XRP rules dey depend on rewards
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse talk say di US CLARITY Act fit get sign by end of May 2026, comot im earlier talk for end of April. Main wahala still be say policy details never clear—especially how dem go regulate crypto “rewards”.
Garlinghouse talk say talks still dey move and he expect say dem go reach compromise. He warn say unclear rules fit make crypto businesses and investments relocate abroad. On the other hand, clear framework fit reduce uncertainty for future US regulators and make big banks fit join crypto again.
For XRP, Garlinghouse expect say no go too affect day-to-day directly, but fit get important indirect effects: more bank confidence and smoother institutional adoption, based on Ripple legal momentum, including earlier court ruling say XRP no be security. Traders focus on CLARITY Act as regulatory catalyst for US, though the move to late May reduce short-term timing certainty.
Separately, Ripple report operational expansion (headcount +50% and two acquisitions) and highlight growth priorities like Ripple Prime and Ripple Treasury.
Neutral
Di update na be mixed signal for XRP. For one side, clearer US regulatory framework through the CLARITY Act fit make banks dey more confident say dem go comply and e fit increase chance say institutions go use XRP more—this na underlying bullish support wey past legal momentum (XRP no be security) back. But on the other hand, the delay reach late May 2026 cut down near-term catalyst timing and fit make short-term positions soften before the law. Net effect: likely neutral for XRP price action, traders go dey watch whether the ‘rewards’ policy details dey move toward resolution and whether expectations for bank participation go build or fade.
