XRP drops to $1.10 as the CLARITY Act misses its August window and institutional ETF inflows crater to just $13M in July. Ripple launches its RLUSD Mint platform and XRPL crosses 1.4M AI agent transactions — but the price isn't listening yet.

The CLARITY Act is not getting an August vote. Senate Majority Leader Thune pushed the commodity classification bill past the summer recess, closing the August seventh window that crypto markets had priced in as a near-term catalyst.
The ETF picture makes this harder to ignore. Monthly institutional inflows into XRP spot products fell to just thirteen million dollars in July.
On the technical side, the setup is bearish and fairly clean. XRP is trading below every major moving average.
While the price picture is under pressure, Ripple's infrastructure buildout is moving in a different direction entirely. The company launched a new RLUSD Mint platform for institutional customers, giving them a single interface to mint, redeem, bridge, and manage the stablecoin with full API integration.
One more data point that's worth holding onto. The XRP Ledger passed one point four million AI agent-driven transactions by July twenty-second, with a hundred and twenty-nine merchants participating.
The clearest near-term watchpoints are straightforward. Watch whether XRP holds above one dollar and four cents on a daily close.
