XRP Price to Soar if CLARITY Act Passes in 2026: Analyst Predicts

Analyst Jake Claver is predicting a significant price increase for XRP if the CLARITY Act passes in 2026. He cites two past events as examples of how major structural catalysts can impact XRP's price: Ripple locking up its escrow in 2017, which led to a 70,000% gain over 240 days, and Trump's election win in 2020, which saw XRP rise from under $0.50 to nearly $3 in just 28 days.

The CLARITY Act has gained significant institutional support, with big names like BlackRock, JPMorgan, Grayscale, and Goldman Sachs publicly backing the bill. Claver argues that their support is not about survival, but about positioning themselves to dominate the asset class once clearer rules exist.

However, Claver also acknowledges that the legislative process still has hurdles to clear, including potential changes to the bill in the Senate and a signing period for the president. If passed, the CLARITY Act could shift the focus of XRP from speculation to utility, as institutional infrastructure is built around it.
