XRP holds $1.14 as Congress advances the historic CLARITY Act out of Senate Banking. Goldman Sachs tracks $1.65B in ETF inflows. Read the full trade roadmap.
XRP is putting up a surprisingly tough fight in the face of the macro hangover taking out the rest of crypto. It’s holding its ground on Monday, June 8, 2026, while Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins all bleed 20% a week from a blistering domestic hiring report. XRP trades near $1.14, and has been the big beneficiary of a series of game-changing legal/institutional developments in Washington D.C. over the last several months.
For the asset class, the biggest catalyst is a major win for the CLARITY Act in the Senate. The Senate Banking Committee approved the bill 15-9 in markup, and it is officially now on the full Senate legislative calendar. Under CLARITY, CFTC-regulated utility chains get redefined as “digital commodities,” rather than under SEC jurisdiction. For XRP, which already has a 2023 judge decision confirming it’s a non-security when sold on public markets, the bill effectively codifies the regulatory safe harbor. The bill should see a floor vote before the July session closes out the legislative calendar.
Goldman Sachs Tracks $1.65 Billion in ETF Inflows
Regulatory progress has been the key driver that attracted more and more institutional players as their clients clamor for exposure. What once felt as a wild west speculative token that retail can get their hands on, XRP is emerging into a new asset class, one that’s regulated and integrated into the plumbing of global capital.
- ETF inflows continue to hit $1.65 billion in net inflows for spot ETFs since listing; Goldman, among others, has revealed in recent filings that it has added millions to its spot XRP holdings
- Ripple’s institutional-grade, fiat-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, now trades on the XRP Ledger and EVM sidechains to facilitate institutional tokenized real world assets (RWA)
- Sticky inflation (3.8% headline CPI, 4.1% core CPI) means new Fed chair Kevin Warsh is stuck in a higher-for-longer rate stance, so any asset that can shave trillions off global cross-border remittance costs that XRP does is insulated from higher rates.
XRP $1.14 Daily Descending Channel Trade
Turning to the daily chart, the broader picture has set up a nice risk-managed, orderly environment for traders to make money on short-term price swings.
XRP ($1.14) continues to grind its way lower inside a multi-month descending channel, having just been rejected from a 0.618 Fib level at $1.24.
But since then, the price has been driven lower into a 0.236 Fib support at $1.12, a confluence zone that’s been holding for a few weeks as support.
The 14-day RSI prints between 40 and 50, suggesting plenty of room for upside before it gets overbought. The local dailies are printing wicks of accumulation as buyers have started to scoop up the asset near the 1.14 handles. A long position at $1.14 or the next dip near the 0.236 Fib at $1.12 makes a ton of sense, especially with a risk stop at $1.05, where the daily channel would be invalidated. A target to ride this to $1.24 looks good.
It’s a turning point for XRP. The broader market remains vulnerable to a hawkish warsh Fed. But XRP has an active inflow spot ETF market and the regulatory progress of the CLARITY Act. Both will be major draws for capital to accumulate XRP at the current $1.14 channel support.
