President Trump agreed on September 13 to about 80% of the ethics restrictions Senate Democrats had demanded on the crypto Clarity Act, and XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) rose 3.9% to $1.39 over 24 hours. Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) climbed 1.3% across the same window, so XRP moved three times as hard on a bill that would settle its legal status in federal law rather than a regulator’s interpretation.
