September XRP price catalyst: How ASDeFi users can earn 7,000 XRPs per month

Summary

XRP opened close to $1.35 in September after rising 28.5% in August. Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRPs on September 1 in accordance with its monthly custody plan. The XRPL 3.3.0 upgrade may be activated on September 11, pending approval by the validator. According to reports, the September 15 vote on the CLARITY bill may affect the regulatory prospects of XRP. ASDeFi promotes the use of XRP and other cryptocurrencies funded bitcoin cloud mining contracts.

XRP is under pressure when it opens in September

At the beginning of September 2026, XRP is trading at approximately US$1.35, down 8.20% from its peak of approximately US$1.70 in August. Its monthly increase reached 28.5%, setting the best August performance since 2021.

This month opened with two big news: Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRPs through three custody transactions on September 1-worth approximately US$1.38 billion at current prices-and XRP fell below one of the most important demand areas on the chart previously identified by analyst Ali Charts, the US$1.35 support level.

For XRP investors, September 2026 is not a passive month. Three specific events-each with an exact date-will determine whether August's gains are the beginning of a sustained recovery or just a relief rebound that will be partially surrendered in September.

Event 1: Ripple unlocks 1 billion XRPs-what does this mean?

On September 1, Ripple unlocked 500 million, 400 million and 100 million XRPs through three independent transactions, respectively, according to its established monthly custody mechanism, for a total of 1 billion. It should be pointed out that unlocking is not the same as selling: in the past, Ripple would usually lock most unused XRPs back into its escrow account, so the actual number entering the market was far less than 1 billion; after unlocking this time, Ripple still has approximately 31.28 billion XRPs in escrow accounts.

Therefore, what the market should really focus on is not "how much is unlocked", but where these XRPs will flow and whether the actual increase in circulating supply will put pressure on prices.

Event 2: XRPL 3.3.0 upgrade-September 11

The upcoming version of XRPL 3.3.0 introduces a "confidential transaction" feature that uses technologies such as zero-knowledge proof to hide transaction amounts and balances while maintaining address visibility. This feature is mainly for multi-purpose tokens and institutional users.

The proposal has received 82.86% support from validators and has entered a two-week activation window. It is expected to be activated on the main network as early as September 11, 2026. The new version also fixes vulnerabilities in single-asset vaults, loan agreements, automated market makers and fake accounts, further enhancing the security and stability of XRPL DeFi.

Event 3: Senate vote on CLARITY bill-September 15

The U.S. Senate will vote on the CLARITY bill on September 15, 2026, which will be one of the most critical events this month and throughout the year. If passed, the bill could further clarify XRP's legal status as a commodity and provide longer-term certainty about its regulatory status.

Seasonal challenges in September

Historical data add uncertainty to XRP's September performance. XRP rose 28.5% in August, its strongest August performance since 2021, but most of the gains were concentrated in the last two weeks, suggesting that the money driving the rise may not be long-term. At the same time, three catalysts-the unlocking of custody funds, the XRPL 3.3.0 upgrade and the CLARITY bill vote-may help ease traditional September seasonal pressures, but whether they can fully offset potential selling pressure remains uncertain.

XRP and Bitcoin: A comparison of two risk characteristics

Due to spot ETFs, institutional capital and relatively mature regulatory frameworks, Bitcoin is generally regarded as a more mature asset in the crypto market; XRP is more sensitive to market liquidity and regulatory dynamics. Although it may gain greater gains under favorable market conditions, it may also experience more significant declines during market corrections.

For investors seeking to invest in crypto assets while also wanting to reduce their reliance on regulatory events involving XRP, ASDeFi's cloud mining model takes a different approach, by continuing to accumulate bitcoins rather than relying directly on XRP's regulatory policies, unlocked custody funds, or XRPL governance events.

How does the ASDeFi cloud mining platform work?

ASDeFi is a Bitcoin cloud mining platform established in 2020 and has more than 5 million users in more than 170 countries and regions around the world. It operates nine physical data centers around the world and is supported by Bitmain, the world's largest ASIC manufacturer. ASDeFi accounts for more than 1% of global Bitcoin computing power, and finally reaches 16.7 million TH, setting a record high.

How to join ASDeFi cloud mining?

1. Register a cloud mining account. Enter your email address and password to create an account. You will receive a $15 bonus after registering and a $0.60 bonus every day you log in.

2. Deposit cryptocurrency. The platform supports the deposit and withdrawal of more than ten cryptocurrencies including XRP, BTC, SOL, ETH, DOGE, BNB and USDT.

3. Buy a computing power contract. Buy a $15 contract. The platform also offers a variety of computing power contracts; choose different levels based on your investment budget.

Examples of common contracts: Check-in contract: US$15 - 1-day cycle-total profit approximately US$15.60; Entry contract: US$100 - 2-day cycle-total profit approximately US$108; Base contract: US$1,500 - 10-day cycle-total profit approximately US$1,717.50; Stable contract: US$6,000 - 20-day cycle-total profit approximately US$8,040; Stability contract: $30,000 - 30-day cycle-total profit of approximately $47,100.

4. Withdraw proceeds. After purchasing the contract, the platform will automatically allocate computing power and the system will run automatically. You can monitor progress in real time on your mobile phone and choose to withdraw revenue or purchase a new contract.

Portfolio Logic: XRP Position + Bitcoin Cloud Mining

For investors who are optimistic about XRP's long-term regulatory prospects and payment infrastructure, ASDeFi's continuous accumulation model can be used as a supplementary configuration. XRP is more like a targeted bet on specific regulatory developments and market catalysts; its September performance was highly dependent on key events such as the CLARITY Act, so risks were relatively concentrated. In contrast, ASDeFi continues to accumulate Bitcoin through cloud mining and does not directly rely on any single regulatory vote, escrow fund unlocking, or market event.

The two are not mutually exclusive: XRP has higher event-driven risks and potential returns, while ASDeFi provides a relatively stable path to Bitcoin accumulation. The combination of the two can form a portfolio with complementary risk sources.
