U.S. lawmakers are pushing the Clarity Act, which includes a rule that has the market on edge: an entity linked to a crypto project cannot hold more than 20% of the total supply if the asset seeks commodity status.
⚠️ Problem?
Ripple currently controls more than 30% of all XRP, including 34 billion tokens held in escrow.
👀 So what happens next?
🧠 Some insiders speculate that Ripple might be forced to significantly reduce its XRP holdings to comply.
Others are suggesting a far more shocking possibility...
💥 WHAT IF RIPPLE BECOMES A BANK?
According to crypto analyst Brad Kimes, securing a national bank charter could place Ripple under a different regulatory framework, potentially exempting it from the 20% cap entirely. This would mean:
No forced selling
No distribution pressure
No supply shock
⚠️ Still speculative — regulators have not confirmed this interpretation. But the idea alone is changing narratives.
🏦 RIPPLE’S BIG MOVE (MOST PEOPLE MISSED THIS):
Ripple has already made significant institutional-level positioning moves:
Applied to create Ripple National Trust Bank.
Requested a Federal Reserve master account.
Gained direct access to Fedwire & FedNow.
Facilitates 24/7 issuance & redemption of their stablecoin, RLUSD.
No third-party custodians required.
🤖 PRICE IMPACT? HERE’S THE WILD PART…
This AI on Google Search suggests that if Ripple obtains a banking charter and Fed access, it could become one of the strongest institutional endorsements in crypto.
In a highly optimistic scenario:
💥
$XRP → $50
This could be due to:
Regulatory clarity
Bank and institutional adoption
Elimination of long-term uncertainty
👀 Many traders are still focused on market noise. Those with more financial knowledge are watching regulation and structure.
⚠️ Not financial advice. Market narratives influence price movement.
🔥 If Ripple gets the license,
$XRP may see immediate price movement. The current price of XRP is around $0.47 as of December 14, 2025.
