The Jan. 15 CLARITY Act review comes as a Republican-led SEC is expected to advance pro-crypto regulations, while Ripple pursues growth through products and acquisitions instead of an IPO.
On January 15, 2026, the Senate Banking Committee will review the CLARITY Act, aligning with earlier Agriculture Committee discussions on clarifying SEC and CFTC jurisdiction over digital assets. The SEC, now under full Republican control, is anticipated to roll out pro-crypto regulations within the year. Ripple has confirmed it has no plans for an initial public offering, instead focusing on expansion through new products and acquisitions.
