The U.S. Senate vetoed the Clarity Act, and XRP plunged nearly 10% to US$1.30.
In Asian trading on Wednesday, XRP prices fell sharply by nearly 10% to US$1.30, becoming the largest decline among major digital assets. The drop came after the U.S. Senate narrowly rejected the Clarity Act, which was designed to provide clearer regulatory guidance for the cryptocurrency market.
The Clarity Act was defeated in Senate vote
The procedural vote on the Clarity Act was 49 votes in favor and 50 votes against, 11 votes short of the 60 votes needed to bring the bill to the full house for debate. The more than 600-page legislation was blocked by controversial ethics provisions that would limit the financial interests of senior government officials in holding cryptocurrencies while in office.
Several Republicans joined a majority of Democrats in opposing the measure. Among them, Senator Elissa Slotkin, D-Michigan, voted against, criticizing the ethics clause as not being adequate. Slotkin raised concerns about possible conflicts of interest between President Trump, his family and senior cabinet members with cryptocurrency positions. She also questioned whether the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) had enough staff to implement the new rules and pointed to shortcomings in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures.
总部位于美国的区块链公司 Ripple(瑞波)在其社交媒体上对法案失败作出回应,强调尽管遭遇挫折,Ripple 和 XRP 仍处于“既定的基础”之上。Ripple 首席执行官布拉德·加里林豪斯(Brad Garlinghouse)表示结果令人失望,指出错失的机会“令人痛心”。他在投票后罕见地坦率表达了失望之情,称参议院未能推进《清晰法案》是数字资产行业和美国竞争力的一个错失良机。
加密相关股票急剧下跌
加密相关股票的跌幅甚至超过了数字资产本身。美国领先的加密货币交易所 Coinbase 的股价下跌近 9%,报 174.42 美元;稳定币发行商 Circle 的股价跌幅超过 9%,报 88.26 美元。其他主要参与者包括 Galaxy Digital、Gemini、Bullish 和 Riot Platforms,它们的损失幅度在 5% 至 8% 之间。
在加密货币方面,以太坊(Ethereum)下跌约 5%,交易价格接近 2,410 美元。Solana 和 Dogecoin 也各自下跌了约 5%。比特币曾短暂跌破 75,000 美元,随后略有回升,收盘时略低于 3%,收于 76,000 美元以上。
Market Intelligence and Whale Trends
Market intelligence platform Sanitation noted that prior to the major price change, activity in giant whale wallets holding more than 1 million XRPs increased. Sanitation reported that 85 such wallets appeared two days before XRP surged 67% in August, indicating that major holders typically lay out ahead of major market changes.

Regulatory prospects and market volatility
With the failure of the Clarification Act, attention in the U.S. crypto regulatory community has turned to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s pending Reg Crypto framework and upcoming rules on tokenized securities, which are seen as the expected next step in gaining clarity. The next opportunity for major legislative action will not appear until the new Congress opens in January 2027.
与此同时,市场对美联储利率决定的期待进一步加剧了市场的波动。交易者预计加息 25 个基点,这可能会给数字资产价格带来额外压力。XRP 当前的 1.30 美元水平被视为关键支撑区域。如果美联储加息,分析师预计 XRP 可能跌至 1.21 美元附近;而如果利率维持不变,则有助于巩固 1.30 美元作为底部支撑。
Ripple 表示,尽管立法遭遇挫折,但 Ripple 和 $XRP 仍保持着既定的法律和业务基础,强调了公司和代币持有人的连续性。
