US-listed spot XRP ETFs recorded $25.8 million in net inflows on Monday, their largest single-day haul since early January. <cite>The session brought cumulative inflows across the products to $1.35 billion.</cite> The surge arrived as <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$XRP</a> traded around $1.46 to $1.47, with <cite>every XRP fund rising more than 4% on the day alongside the underlying token.</cite>
The session was a study in divergence across the altcoin ETF space. While <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$XRP</a> products attracted fresh capital, ether spot ETFs bled nearly $17 million on the same day, and <cite>the pattern of bitcoin leading, altcoin ETFs catching spillover, and ether lagging has held through most of the year, with XRP still down roughly 39% over the past six months despite sustained ETF interest.</cite>
<cite>XRP spot ETFs have posted inflows in 11 of the last 13 trading days, totalling $82.42 million, according to data from SoSoValue.</cite><cite>As of May 12, seven XRP spot ETFs are trading in the United States with combined assets under management of over $1 billion.</cite>
<h2 id="clarity-act-heads-into-senate-markup">CLARITY Act Heads Into Senate Markup</h2>
The inflow surge coincides with a pivotal moment for US crypto legislation. <cite>The Senate Banking Committee has released a 309-page updated draft of the CLARITY Act, with a formal markup vote scheduled for May 14, 2026.</cite><cite>The measure seeks to resolve years of regulatory uncertainty by designating three key digital asset categories and assigning regulators to each, while also strengthening investor protections and introducing new anti-fraud capabilities.</cite>
Traders are watching the markup closely for what it could mean for <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$XRP</a> specifically. <cite>The CLARITY Act aims to define digital assets more precisely under US law, a move that would strengthen XRP's legal standing and create a more stable environment for ETFs and institutional investment.</cite><cite>Standard Chartered projects $4 to $8 billion in XRP ETF inflows in a scenario where the bill passes.</cite>
The path forward is not without obstacles. <cite>Even if the CLARITY Act clears the Senate Banking Committee, it would still need to be merged with a version approved by the Senate Agriculture Committee, and lawmakers must also resolve a contentious conflict-of-interest provision before a full Senate floor vote, where 60 yes votes will be required.</cite><cite>Prediction market Polymarket currently puts the odds of CLARITY becoming law in 2026 at 75%.</cite>
On the Ripple side, sentiment has been further bolstered by recent developments. <cite>Last week, Ripple completed a pilot tokenized US Treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger with JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance, processing the redemption in under five seconds.</cite>
