XRP Security Status is Under the Spotlight Again as CLARITY Act Section 105 Heads for a Senate Vote: Big Moment for Crypto Rules Ahead
The XRP security status is once again in focus as the CLARITY Act moves closer to a key Senate step. Section 105 of the draft bill now drives fresh discussion in the crypto market.
Supporters now believe that the Section 105 could help XRP as it says that if a court already decided a digital asset is not a security, regulators may not change that decision later. This point has drawn strong attention among investors.
Section 105 Gives XRP Supporters Hope
Many XRP supporters link this to the 2023 court ruling which said XRP sales on exchanges were not securities. They feel that Section 105 could protect that decision in the future.
Still, the CLARITY Act is not law yet. Lawmakers must review, amend, and vote on it. Until then, the XRP security status does not have full legal protection.
The bill also talks about “network tokens.” This term comes with a decentralization test. Supporters say XRP fits this idea. The XRP Ledger runs on its own and supports payments and transfers.
XRP’s Decentralization Argument Gains Attention
A certain section of industry insiders argue that XRP does not give ownership in Ripple. Its value depends on how people use the network. The system can keep working even without the company’s direct role.
Some experts do not fully agree. Regulators like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may still review each case. The final law could also change after amendments.
Leaders at Ripple support the bill. Brad Garlinghouse said clear rules will help crypto users. Stuart Alderoty also shared data that shows millions of Americans hold crypto.
At the same time, opposition is growing as Elizabeth Warren has suggested many changes to the bill. One change may remove a key rule that supporters see as protection for XRP.
Senate Vote Could Shape SEC Crypto Regulation
Other changes focus on banking access and tighter control on crypto firms. These steps could affect Ripple and other companies in the market.
The next Senate step will be very important. It will show how much support the CLARITY Act still has. The result may shape the future of SEC crypto regulation and many digital assets.
For now, Section 105 offers hope for XRP supporters, but real protection will depend on the final law.
