XRP Gains Traction at Bitcoin Conference 2026 Amid Regulatory Clarity

The Bitcoin Conference 2026 has brought attention to Ripple's XRP token, with investors who previously kept their distance now showing interest.

According to Jake Claver, chairman of Digital Ascension Group, the sentiment towards XRP has shifted significantly at the conference. Longtime Bitcoin holders are now looking into XRP and moving money into its ecosystem.

Claver believes that XRP doesn't need Congress to act for its price to move, as the legal and regulatory groundwork is already in place. He points out that the SEC and CFTC have issued guidelines classifying XRP as a digital commodity, and recent developments tied to the GENIUS Act are pushing US crypto regulation forward.

The resolution of the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple has also brought new interest to the token, with more capital flowing in as confidence grows. Institutional players, such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, are taking notice of XRP and its potential role in traditional financial markets.
