XRP has fallen to $1.07–$1.10 on June 25, 2026, declining more sharply than Bitcoin (-3.1% vs BTC -2%) amid fresh opposition to the CLARITY Act and the broader crypto market crash. The big question: is this a buying opportunity before the July 4 CLARITY Act catalyst, or does the Catholic bishops opposition risk a major delay?

⚖️ CLARITY Act — New Threat from Catholic Bishops
Close to 100 Catholic bishops and church leaders sent a letter to Senate leadership opposing a key provision of the CLARITY Act. The letter, from the Alliance to End Human Trafficking (AEHT), argues that one provision would weaken federal safeguards against human trafficking and financial crimes.
- Addressed to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
- Signatories include Sisters of Saint Joseph, Sisters of Blessed Virgin Mary and others
- The opposition adds a new political hurdle to the July 4 signing target
- However: supporters argue the language can be amended without delaying the broader bill
🏦 Institutional Support Remains Strong
- ✅ Goldman Sachs: $150M+ position in Bitwise XRP ETF (disclosed in SEC filing)
- ✅ ARK Invest: XRP nearly 1/5 of its CoinDesk 20 product
- ✅ Singapore MAS: Testing cross-border settlements on XRP Ledger
- ✅ XRP ETF flows: Zero consecutive outflow days since launch
- ✅ Standard Chartered target: $8 by end-2026 on CLARITY Act passage
🎯 XRP Trade Setup — June 25, 2026
- Current: $1.07–$1.10 — testing major support
- Critical support: $1.00 (psychological) — must hold
- If CLARITY Act delayed: XRP could test $0.85–$0.90
- If CLARITY Act passes July 4: XRP targets $2.00–$3.00 first, then $5.00+
- Stop loss for long position: Monthly close below $0.95
- Risk/reward at $1.07: Highly asymmetric if CLARITY Act passes
