All Eyes On $XRP ‌ For Today's CPI Data The markets gear up for the release of today’s U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures, where the consensus is set at 3.4% year-over-year. $XRP begins the day under extreme pressure due to its balance on the edge of the $1.00 support zone, making it the most exposed major token in case of an inflation shock #CryptoNews

$XRP is still trapped under a key resistance zone. Price is struggling to reclaim the $1.02–$1.04 area while the broader downtrend remains intact. If resistance holds, $0.96 becomes the key support to watch. A clean breakout above the channel could change the structure. Until then, bears still have the edge.

Ripple’s story may be bigger than CLARITY. Ripple is pursuing multiple regulatory paths, and that distinction matters. An OCC charter could strengthen its institutional infrastructure, while the CLARITY Act could bring broader regulatory certainty to digital assets. But neither guarantees XRP adoption. The real question is whether regulatory progress eventually translates into real institutional use and demand for $XRP . If CLARITY doesn’t pass, can Ripple still build enough momentum on its own? What matters more for XRP: regulatory clarity or actual adoption? #XRP #Ripple #crypto
