In a recent White House event, President Trump called for the passage of the Clarity Act, a bill aimed at clarifying cryptocurrency regulations. This move comes amidst growing interest in digital assets, with Ripple landing its third deal in South Korea, hosting over 2 million AI payments on the XRP Ledger.

The development could have implications for the XRP/RLUSD market, which has seen a recent surge in price, up 6.72% in the last 24 hours to 1.0991 RLUSD.
