XRP Ripple CTO Backs ‘Imperfect’ Crypto Bill: Why It Matters for Your XRP

XRP Ripple CTO David Schwartz stood before a packed room at XRPLasVegas 2026 on May 1 and said something that made parts of the XRP community uncomfortable: Back the CLARITY Act now, even though it isn’t perfect.

The XRP token is currently trading around $1.38, up a modest +0.4% over the past 24 hours, a deceptively calm number given the regulatory storm swirling underneath it. The real question isn’t whether the bill is flawed. It clearly is. The question is whether an imperfect law finally on the books does more for your XRP than another two years of legal limbo.
