Remittix Moves Closer to Launch Milestone as XRP Stabilizes Near $1.33 After CLARITY Act Setback

MAJURO, Marshall Islands, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Remittix, a PayFi project developing crypto-to-fiat payment infrastructure, reports continued progress toward its next launch milestone as the digital-asset market assesses the fallout from the U.S. Senate’s failure to advance the CLARITY Act.

XRP was trading at approximately $1.33 at the time of writing after moving between about $1.29 and $1.34 during the session. The partial recovery follows a sharp decline earlier in the week, when XRP fell to around $1.28 as the proposed U.S. crypto market-structure legislation failed to secure the 60 votes needed to proceed in the Senate.

The vote introduced fresh uncertainty for the broader U.S. digital-asset sector, but it did not alter XRP’s existing legal classification. Ripple stated after the September 15 vote that the outcome did not change the legal clarity already established for XRP. Investors are therefore weighing the short-term effect on market sentiment separately from the longer-term outlook for XRP’s payments use case.

XRP Price Outlook Adjusts Following Senate Vote

XRP’s decline reflected a wider retreat across crypto markets rather than a project-specific change to the XRP Ledger. The failed procedural vote delayed the prospect of a durable federal framework defining how digital assets should be overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
