The RIBBIT project has launched a new staking incentive campaign for token holders. Users who stake 1M RIBBIT will receive an instant 500K RIBBIT bonus and earn 150% APY over a 90-day staking period. Stakers who commit 10M RIBBIT or more are also eligible for an additional “Silver Bitcoin” bonus. The announcement does not state whether the token is listed on major exchanges such as BingX, or whether there are changes to tokenomics, team backing, or audit status.

The RIBBIT team announced a limited-time staking incentive program in which users who stake 1M RIBBIT receive an instant 500K RIBBIT bonus and can earn 150% APY over a 90-day term. Participants staking more than 10M RIBBIT in total can also unlock a “Silver Bitcoin bonus.” The program is aimed at existing holders and does not involve new token issuance, an on-chain upgrade, or protocol governance changes.

XRP now has a defined legal status across three major jurisdictions: the United States, Japan and Russia. In the US, it is described as a “digital commodity” in a joint SEC and CFTC release, while Japan classifies it as a financial product under the FIEA and Russia treats it as legal property for commercial and cross-border use. Two of these determinations were made within the past four months. Bhutan, Georgia, Montenegro and Palau are also building national currencies on Ripple’s platform.

Jim Ferrioli, a senior executive at Charles Schwab, said the CLARITY Act (Clarity for Crypto Act) is “a really important fundamental catalyst” for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. The bill is intended to clarify how digital assets are classified and regulated under U.S. securities and commodities laws as it advances through Congress. It aims to address regulatory gray areas, particularly the standards for determining whether a token is a security. Ferrioli did not provide an update on the bill’s latest status or any voting timetable, but his comments underscore large traditional finance firms’ desire for clearer rules.

A lawsuit filed in the U.S. argues that roughly 3.8M long-dormant bitcoin—about 18% of the current circulating supply—should be taken into government ownership under police lost-and-found rules. The action targets the property-rights basis at Bitcoin’s UTXO layer and challenges the “code is law” view of ownership. U.S. lawmakers are moving faster on the CLARITY Act to prevent courts from applying such an approach. The dispute does not involve a technical exploit or market manipulation, but it poses a broad legal challenge affecting holders of dormant-coin addresses and regulated custodians.

An XRP spot ETF has drawn $1.5 billion in cumulative inflows since its launch, underscoring continued institutional allocation. However, the fund has not disclosed holdings or flow data for three consecutive trading days, leaving investors without visibility. The lapse comes after the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple ended, significantly reducing regulatory uncertainty around XRP. The development concerns the only approved XRP spot ETF and directly pertains to the XRP token, not other major cryptocurrencies or cross-chain infrastructure.

The CLARITY Act has formally completed the legislative process. The bill establishes a clear federal regulatory framework for digital assets and specifies that tokens meeting certain conditions—cited as including XRP—are not securities, exempting them from Securities Act registration requirements. Driven by the U.S. Congress, the measure is intended to address long-standing regulatory ambiguity in crypto assets. As a widely referenced example of a non-security token under the bill, XRP’s legal status would receive substantive confirmation, affecting its U.S. trading, issuance and institutional adoption compliance.

The proposed U.S. Clarity Act aims to create a federal classification framework for digital assets by clearly distinguishing between securities and commodities. The bill has not been passed into law, but it is widely expected to reshape the U.S. crypto regulatory landscape. The article says XRP could benefit given its long-running dispute tied to an SEC securities lawsuit. If the act establishes standards for determining when an asset is not a security, it could remove a key legal obstacle for XRP spot ETF applications and support institutional allocation via ETFs and blockchain-use channels.
