A U.S. “Clarity” bill under discussion in Congress could be a key factor in expanding institutional adoption of XRP, an analysis said.

He said many institutions want clear legal guidelines before committing capital. Senate talks are accelerating ahead of the August recess.

A revised draft includes provisions on stablecoin rewards, SEC fundraising exemptions, DeFi classification, AML duties, allocation of regulatory authority and tokenisation. Analysts say bitcoin already has much of the institutional framework, while exchanges and stablecoins could be direct beneficiaries.
