XRP's price remains near $1 as the U.S. CLARITY Act on crypto market structure stalls in the Senate, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is advancing its own crypto regulatory discussions via its Innovation Advisory Committee. Ripple's CEO joins the CFTC advisory committee, providing Ripple influence as broader crypto regulatory frameworks evolve amid delayed legislation and ongoing SEC rulemaking.

Ripple founders gain a direct line to the CFTC through its Innovation Advisory Committee, opening new doors to influence U.S. crypto rules while the CLARITY Act stalls.
