In 2026, the start of the year, XRP's legal status in the United States made a significant breakthrough. According to the latest court ruling, XRP has been explicitly recognized as a non-security digital asset, meaning it has established its position without waiting for subsequent legislation like the "Clear Act."

Interestingly, although XRP's legal status has been settled, the entire US cryptocurrency market still faces a regulatory vacuum. This inconsistency is constraining industry innovation—various project teams are still exploring policy boundaries, and users remain uncertain about the legal risks of their holdings.

Industry insiders generally believe that the US needs to implement a more consistent and clearer regulatory framework. Legislative proposals like the "Clear Act" have a clear goal: to establish a unified standard for all crypto assets, providing clear guidelines for industry practitioners and investors. Once such a policy environment is established, it is expected to unleash suppressed market demand and perhaps promote crypto applications from niche to mainstream.

Of course, all this still requires further communication between policymakers and the industry. The clearer the rules, the healthier the market can develop.

XRP finally breathes a sigh of relief, but other cryptocurrencies are still trembling. Clear regulations are a good thing, but this "only protecting XRP" situation is a bit awkward... It's not just XRP that needs clarification; the entire market is waiting for signals. Honestly, it's still the regulators falling behind. Let's take it step by step. When will the clear legislation finally pass? I really can't wait any longer.

XRP has finally settled, but how to deal with this mess? What’s the use of individual certainty when other coins are still a tangled mess? Will the clear legislation really make the market take off? I’m skeptical. This wave of the entire crypto market is like Schrödinger’s cat—both happy and anxious. Once the legal status is settled, investors’ anxiety actually increases? Where are the supposed positive signals?

XRP won, but the entire community is still chaotic, which is quite awkward. It's really satisfying if the Clear Law Bill actually passes, but for now, we still have to feel our way across the river. Does anyone really think this can push the mainstream? I'm a bit skeptical... Legal certainty is easy to talk about but hard to implement. Can the US process be fast? Wait, so other coins still have to be abused? XRP just managed to escape this way.

XRP won but other coins are still gambling? That's awkward. Wait, is the Clear Law really going to pass? Don't let it end in failure again. To be honest, the US is still a mess; XRP just benefited from a court order. Brothers, you need to understand the legal risks of holding positions; don't get caught in a trap in the end. No one dares to go all-in before the regulatory framework is out; it's too intense.

XRP won, but the entire market is still a mess, kind of funny Policies are always like this, always a step behind Clear legislation? Just wait, we're used to it anyway Finally, there's an asset we can safely hold, but what about other coins? Lack of regulatory framework, both project teams and retail investors are the ones getting exploited It's nice to say it's about releasing demand, but frankly, they haven't figured out how to cut yet

Haha, XRP has finally landed, but other coins are still queuing in hell --- Another "Clear Bill" empty check, we've been waiting for this for many years... --- Basically, XRP has come ashore, while other altcoins are still struggling in the water, so ironic --- Regulatory framework? I've heard this phrase too many times, every time it's the boy who cried wolf, and in the end, nothing happens --- I thought the same in 2018, but I was directly pushed into a bear market. Beginners, take it easy --- A specific coin is clear, but the entire market remains confused, this is our normal state, right? --- The day when rules are clear will come, but before that, everyone is just gambling --- It feels like only one car has gotten a driver's license, while others are still on the blacklist, that's how policies are --- Wait, wait, I've been waiting from 2017 to 2026, and I still have to wait more --- Ripple really won this round, but we retail investors are still guessing policies, so ridiculous
