Popular community figure Chad Steingraber suggests that a major XRP price rally could be imminent, fueled by the anticipated passage of a key crypto regulation.
According to Steingraber, XRP has historically posted sharp gains in the lead-up to major regulatory and legal milestones, rather than waiting for formal confirmation. Consequently, he believes the market may already be positioning for the next rally, even as lawmakers continue to finalize new rules
CLARITY Act Markup Slated for January
According to his commentary, the current catalyst is the CLARITY Bill (H.R. 3633), which aims to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets in the United States. Following the legislation’s passage in July, the bill advanced to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Banking Committee for consideration
In a recent update, White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks revealed that, following discussions with key Senate leaders, lawmakers will hold a markup of the CLARITY Act in January 2026
Although the markup is set for January, final passage in the Senate could still take several months. Notably, the markup represents one of the final stages of the legislative process. At this point, committee members typically debate the bill and vote on whether to advance it. If approved, the legislation then moves to the full chamber for floor consideration and, ultimately, a final vote
Why XRP Could Be Gearing Up for a Rally
If lawmakers pass the bill, it would clearly define regulatory boundaries for crypto assets, potentially eliminating the uncertainty that has weighed on the sector for years. Against this backdrop, Steingraber argues that XRP may already be positioning for a rally as expectations around the bill’s passage continue to build
His optimism draws heavily from XRP’s historical reactions to regulatory and legal victories. Notably, XRP rallied aggressively during key moments in its prolonged legal battle with the U.S. SEC
In 2025, growing optimism about a potential settlement with the SEC pushed XRP above $3 for the first time since 2018. The token later climbed to $3.65 in July 2025—nearly a month before the Ripple case was officially resolved. That episode reinforced the belief among supporters that XRP often “front-runs” regulatory clarity by pricing in positive outcomes well ahead of formal decisions
With a major bill that could finally clarify the regulatory status of tokens like XRP nearing its final stages, Steingraber maintains that another significant rally could be just over the horizon
