XRP Price Surge Expected if CLARITY Act Passes in 2026: Analyst
Analyst Jake Claver is predicting a significant price increase for XRP if the CLARITY Act passes in 2026. According to Claver, two past moves in XRP's history demonstrate the potential impact of structural catalysts on the token's price.
XRP gained approximately 70,000% in 240 days after Ripple locked up its escrow in 2017, and it rose from under 50 cents to nearly $3 in just 28 days following Trump's election win. Claver believes these historical events are instructive and points to the current institutional backing for the CLARITY Act.
The bill has received support from major institutions such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, Grayscale, and Goldman Sachs, according to Claver. He argues that their support is not about hoping the crypto industry survives but rather positioning themselves to dominate the asset class once clearer rules exist.
