Stand With Crypto announced 32 new bipartisan endorsements ahead of the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, a sign of growing momentum in Washington around digital-asset regulation. The announcement came alongside two other notable regulatory developments: the SEC introduced proposals aimed at streamlining capital raising through crypto, and the CFTC convened its first Innovation Advisory Committee meeting. These moves reflect continued engagement between crypto leaders and regulators even during the congressional recess.
For XRP investors, the next key date is September 15, 2026. At 2:15 p.m. ET, the U.S. Senate is scheduled to hold a cloture vote on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The legislation would draw clearer boundaries between the SEC and CFTC on digital-asset markets and create a broader federal framework for crypto trading and issuance. The House approved the bill by 294–134 in July 2025, including 78 Democrats, giving it an unusual bipartisan foundation.
The September 15 vote is not a final passage vote, and a successful cloture requires roughly 60 senators to allow debate to proceed. Even if cleared, the bill still faces amendments, further votes, and reconciliation between the House and Senate. Reuters has reported unresolved disagreements over ethics provisions, anti-money-laundering safeguards, and protections for traditional banks. Still, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has described the legislation as an important remaining step toward broader institutional adoption.
XRP is trading near $1.38 after an August rally gave way to renewed selling pressure. Meanwhile, U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted $110.49 million during the week ending Aug. 28, their strongest weekly inflow of 2026, pushing total cumulative inflows to roughly $1.66 billion. The divergence between institutional demand and spot price has become a closely watched signal for the market.
