Ripple unlikely to be forced to sell escrowed XRP under Clarity Act, says report

Ripple will likely not need to forcibly sell its escrowed XRP holdings to comply with the Clarity Act, according to an analysis by The Crypto Basic. The report explains that the bill's '20% ownership limit' is a flexible guideline for determining a blockchain's maturity, not a strict cap that mandates asset disposal. The media outlet noted that the decisive factor is XRP's classification as a "digital commodity" rather than a security, which transfers regulatory oversight to the CFTC. "If the system's decentralization and utility are proven, the current holding of 38.5 billion XRP, representing about 40% of the supply, is unlikely to face a legal sell-off obligation," the analysis stated. "Consequently, concerns about a price drop due to a large-scale token release are expected to be significantly eased."
