September 15 Catalyst: XRP Seeks to Extend Four-Year Bullish Streak

XRP's strong performance in August has set the stage for a potential bullish trend into September. The token has ended August with a gain of 35%, bucking the historical notion that autumn is a weak period for $XRP. In fact, data shows that the asset has closed September in the green for four consecutive years, with gains of 46.2%, 0.42%, 7.98%, and 2.49% respectively.

The current price momentum has created a foundation for XRP to extend its successful streak into September 2026. The anticipation of a key event on September 15, the U.S. Senate vote on the Clarity Act, which could establish $XRP's status as a commodity and eliminate regulatory risks, is driving this trend.

The passage of the Clarity Act would mark a significant milestone for XRP, removing lingering regulatory uncertainty that has weighed on the asset's price in the past. The current quarterly return stands at +37%, significantly above the historical median of 27.9%, signaling the end of investor capitulation and potentially paving the way for further gains.
