XRP Price Prediction: Ripple CEO Meets Trump as SEC Gives XRP a Major Regulatory Win - Is XRP About to Explode?

A few years ago, Ripple was fighting the SEC in court. Now its CEO is meeting President Donald Trump at the White House while Washington moves toward clearer rules for XRP.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse attended an August 19 White House meeting with Trump and senior regulators, later saying he was “proud to be in the room.” Then on September 3, the SEC approved new Nasdaq Texas rules that specifically list XRP among assets currently eligible to be treated as commodities for certain exchange-traded products.

There could be an even bigger catalyst next.

The CLARITY Act would create a clearer federal rulebook for digital assets and spell out when the SEC or CFTC is in charge. It already cleared the Senate Banking Committee in a bipartisan 15-9 vote.

The next date to watch is September 15, when the Senate's motion to move the bill forward becomes eligible for a vote at 2:15 p.m. ET. Passage is not guaranteed, but another win in Washington would add to a regulatory backdrop that looks very different from the one XRP faced only a few years ago.

So can that shift finally help push XRP back above $2?

XRP Price Prediction: Is XRP About to Explode Higher?

XRP is trading around $1.40 after bouncing sharply from the major $1 support zone.

The chart also shows XRP trading above the long descending channel that dominated much of its decline from the $3.60 area, suggesting the broader downtrend is weakening.

XRP's RSI sits near 60, above neutral but still below overbought territory.

If $1 continues to hold, $2 is the next major test. A clean break above that resistance could open the door to the larger $3.50 target marked on the chart.

A decisive move back below $1 would weaken the setup and need more time for a leg up.

So, can XRP reach $2? The chart says it is realistic if $1 holds and improving regulation turns into sustained demand. A break above $2 would then bring $3.50 into focus.

If Washington Is Opening the Door to XRP, Where Could Capital Move Next?

XRP's rebound shows how quickly money can move when regulation and investor confidence begin changing together.

But the biggest opportunities may not come from chasing XRP after the move has already happened. They could come from spotting the technologies attracting capital before the shift becomes obvious.
