XRP touched one dollar and two cents on August eleventh. That's its lowest print since November twenty twenty-four, and it matters more than the number suggests.
Part of what pushed XRP below one dollar two cents this week was the rescheduling of the CLARITY Act's cloture vote to September fifteenth. The bill has already cleared the Senate Banking Committee, but clearing committee and clearing the floor are different things.
Then there's the ETF picture, and it's difficult to frame charitably. Spot XRP ETFs attracted one million dollars in the latest weekly period.
There is genuinely good regulatory news in the mix, which makes the price divergence sharper to observe. Ripple secured a full Markets in Crypto-Assets license this week, clearing it to operate across thirty European Economic Area countries.
On the ledger itself, the picture is genuinely impressive in one direction and concerning in another. Tokenized real-world assets on the XRP Ledger have grown four hundred percent year to date, reaching four point four billion dollars.
Three things are worth watching closely from here. The one dollar level and whether XRP holds it or breaks cleanly below it.
