President Trump has agreed to tougher ethics restrictions in the CLARITY Act, clearing the last major obstacle before Tuesday's Senate vote. XRP rose alongside improving passage odds across multiple prediction markets, with traders also watching rising open interest and steady ETF inflows.
President Trump agreed to the ethics restrictions outlined in the CLARITY Act, addressing the final obstacle by granting enforcement authority to state attorneys general. The concession clears the way for the Senate to vote on the bill Tuesday.
XRP traded at $1.38 on September 14, up 2% in 24 hours as the ethics breakthrough lifted sentiment across crypto markets.
Final Draft Locks In Ethics Rules
Senators Cynthia Lummis, John Boozman and Tim Scott released the final 635-page CLARITY Act text on September 14, following more than a year of bipartisan talks. The draft adopts roughly 80% of the Tillis-Gallego proposal, requiring federal lawmakers, judges and their spouses to sell major crypto holdings or place them in a blind trust, and it hands state attorneys general a role in enforcement.
Lummis said a "no" vote would mean rejecting the new ethics rules and risking U.S. leadership in digital assets. According to Coinpedia: "Democrats got what they wanted; now they need to take yes for an answer." Kalshi traders now put the odds of passage at 44%, up from 18%, and the bill still needs 60 votes to advance.
XRP Reacts as Passage Odds Climb
Separately, a prediction market tracked by Crypto Briefing shows odds of the CLARITY Act being signed into law in 2026 at 29.5%, a noticeable increase from previous figures. On Polymarket, the odds of Senate approval have risen to 33%, up from 14% on September 8.
XRP's funding rate flipped from negative to positive ahead of the vote, and open interest climbed 3.17% to $2.93 billion as long positions built up.
Analyst Eyes $1.60 on Continued ETF Inflows
Analyst Ali Charts said XRP faces an obstacle at $1.38, but a break above it could open the path to the psychological resistance at $1.60, provided the token defends support between $1.31 and $1.35. The bullish case comes as XRP ETFs recorded $18.98 million in inflows between September 7 and 11.
