XRP Price Dips Ahead of Crucial Senate Vote on CLARITY Act

XRP's price slipped 2% on August 31 to $1.37 as investors awaited the Senate cloture vote on the CLARITY Act, scheduled for September 15. This vote could impact future cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S., though passing the cloture would only advance the bill to full debate.

Despite this price drop, XRP ETFs saw record weekly inflows of $110.49 million, indicating strong institutional interest, and open interest in CME XRP futures surged 36%, increasing CME's market share to 17%.

Technical analysis suggests XRP is consolidating near $1.38 with key support at $1.35, $1.38 and resistance at $1.53, $1.55, with potential upside if the Senate vote favors crypto regulation clarity.
