The U.S. Senate is scheduled to hold a floor vote on the CLARITY Act at 2:15 p.m. ET on Sept. 16. The bill aims to establish a clearer regulatory framework for crypto assets. The projected tally stands at 57 votes in favor and 43 against, three short of the 60 votes required to pass. Market participants expect the outcome to move bitcoin and broader crypto prices in the short term, with a pass seen as bullish and a rejection as potentially triggering a sharp drop.

Tuttle Capital filed a post-effective amendment on Sept. 10, 2026, setting a new effective date for its XRP Income Blast ETF. The product is positioned as an income- or yield-focused XRP ETF. It is part of Tuttle’s broader “Income Blast” lineup, which also includes SOL, DOGE, ADA, LINK, BNB and AVAX ETFs. The SEC filing update indicates the XRP-linked compliant investment product is moving closer to launch.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana for use in Nasdaq Texas commodity trusts. The decision provides a regulatory green light for structuring commodity trusts for these digital assets on the Nasdaq platform, laying out a compliance pathway. It does not cover ETF approval or direct exchange listings, but it mainly affects the U.S. market and offers a new compliant framework for institutional participation in the four crypto assets.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it will allow Bitcoin-heavy trust products a 15% asset-allocation flexibility window, enabling limited investment in non-core assets while remaining within existing listing rules. The move is intended to give Bitcoin trusts more leeway in product design, according to the SEC. It could encourage the issuance and listing of additional compliant trust products and expand traditional investors’ access to crypto assets.

The U.S. Federal Register placed XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ether and Solana, recognizing it as a compliant digital commodity eligible for trust share listings. The move clarifies XRP’s non-security status under the federal regulatory framework. It also provides a legal basis for issuing XRP trust products in regulated markets. The designation signals further clarity from U.S. regulators on how certain crypto assets are classified.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have formally classified XRP as a digital commodity, ending seven years of regulatory and legal uncertainty. The joint determination clarifies XRP’s legal status and places it outside the securities regulatory framework. The move marks a major step in the asset’s compliance path and gives market participants and trading platforms clearer rules.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved Nasdaq Texas rules that formally define “digital commodity” for exchange-traded fund issuance. The rules are directly aligned with joint SEC and CFTC guidance released in March 2026. The framework covers a range of digital assets including Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, Chainlink, Hedera, Algorand, Cardano and Avalanche, marking a key step toward large-scale, diversified digital-asset ETFs.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the CLARITY Act by a 294–134 vote, with 78 Democrats supporting the bill, as lawmakers seek to provide regulatory certainty for digital assets. In March 2026, the SEC and CFTC explicitly cited XRP, XLM and HBAR as examples of “digital commodities.” Stellar processed $11.4B in stablecoin transfers in Q2 and has more than $3B in tokenized real-world assets, while Franklin Templeton has over $650M of its BENJI fund represented on the network. Hedera, through Archax, has tokenized more than 100 assets worth over $300M, and Canary’s HBAR ETF reported holding and staking 663.2M HBAR.
